Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 270

After hanging up the phone, Vincent turned to Sabrina beside him. “Why don’t you stay and look around for a little while?” he said gently. “I’ll send a car to pick you up and take you

back to the hospital shortly.”

Sabrina nodded. “Alright.”

Vincent still seemed uneasy. He looked at her for a few more seconds, his gaze lingering.

Seeing his hesitation, Sabrina offered a reassuring smile. “Vincent, I’ll be perfectly fine. Vanessa’s health comes first. Please, go take her to the hospital. You can call me later. I’m really worried about her too.”

Her words made Scarlett’s brow furrow almost imperceptibly.

Vincent was already walking away as he replied, “I will.” He and Scarlett then left together.

By the time Damian arrived, all he saw were Scarlett and Vincent’s retreating figures. He stood there, watching them walk away side by side, a complex mix of emotions churning inside him.

Sabrina, still standing near the stall, saw Damian approach. She smoothed her dress and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before walking toward him.

“Mr. Langley,” she said softly as she drew closer, “would you care to take a walk with me?”

Damian pulled his eyes away from the distance and settled them on Sabrina. “Are you speaking to me, Ms. Monroe?”

Sabrina smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am.”

With her looks and charm, she was confident it wouldn’t be difficult to capture the attention of a man like Damian. She was being deliberately forward and bold.

However, Damian responded with detached calm. “Asking me for a walk isn’t the issue. You’d simply need permission from Vincent, and I’d need the same from my sweetheart. If they both agreed, then I’d walk with you.”

Damian stood out in the crowd–tall, handsome, drawing appreciative glances from passersby. He was, in that moment, the center of attention, and his focus was entirely on Sabrina. He looked at her with a faint, unreadable smile on his lips.

While others stared at him, he was looking at her. Several young women nearby shot envious looks toward Sabrina.

Sabrina felt a surge of triumph. To be the object of such envy from other women–how could

Even though Damian’s words were a clear refusal, Sabrina refused to believe he was genuinely rejecting her. She was convinced she could still pique his interest.

So, she maintained her bright smile and pressed on. “And who, may I ask, is Mr. Langley’s ‘sweetheart?”

Remembering the wish Sabrina had written inside her lantern, Damian felt a wave of disgust. Where did she get the audacity to write something so vain?

Damian had once said to Kylie, “You’re the third woman I can’t stand.” Regardless of his reputation, women were generally drawn to him–his humor, his wealth, his presence. He rarely actively disliked any woman.

What he’d said that day was true. The first woman he despised was Amanda, for how she’d bullied Scarlett. The second was Sabrina, for stealing Scarlett’s happiness–even if she hadn’t completely won Vincent yet.

Facing a woman he disliked, Damian had no desire to be pleasant. But recalling Sabrina’s wish gave him a devious idea. The higher they climb, the harder they fall.

He decided not to hold back. “My sweetheart is Scarlett,” he stated plainly. “I, Damian, answer to her and her alone.”

Sabrina’s smile faltered for a split second before she recovered with a light laugh. “Mr. Langley, you may not be aware, but Scarlett is actually…”

Damian had no intention of letting Sabrina speak ill of Scarlett. He cut her off. “Ms. Monroe, you are truly beautiful. I am… genuinely drawn to you.” He let the admission hang for a beat, watching her reaction. “But, after all, you are Vincent’s woman. So…”

He trailed off, leaving the implication hanging, deliberately ambiguous.

Damian had seen enough women to know exactly what someone like Sabrina craved–the undivided attention of every man, to be desired by many. If that was what she wanted, he’d give her a taste of it.

He watched her expression closely. When she heard him say he was drawn to her, a blush instantly colored her cheeks, and he could almost see her heart flutter.

Vincent already treated her like a precious treasure, but Sabrina didn’t want to be cherished by just one man. She wanted Damian’s admiration, Nolan’s, Daniel’s, Harris‘…

Damian had made his position–and his supposed conflict–clear. Sabrina understood his implied dilemma but didn’t address it directly. Instead, she lowered her voice to a soft, suggestive murmur. “Mr. Langley… it’s not a certainty that Vincent and I will end up together,
