The server noted the additions before turning away.

Seeing that Damian truly had the nerve to stay, Scarlett felt a flash of irritation. She turned to Nolan and Melinda. “Maybe we should go somewhere else.”

Hearing her suggestion, Nolan declined. “It’s alright. We can stay here.”

Deep down, Nolan understood that if Damian had foun them here, he could find them anywhere else they

went.

No matter how many places they moved to that night, Damian would follow.

When Nolan said it was fine, Scarlett belatedly realized the same.

So she didn’t suggest leaving again.

Seeing everyone settled, Damian walked around behind Nolan, intending to take the seat beside Scarlett.

But Nolan was quicker, moving first to sit next to her.

Watching this, Damian frowned–not in anger, but with a wry twist of his lips. “Mr. Huntley, those medical school reflexes are no joke.”

Nolan offered a tight smile. “You’re too kind, Mr. Langley.”

In the end, Damian had no choice but to sit in the spot Nolan had just vacated.

As soon as he was seated, he noticed Melinda studying him from the side.

Curious, Damian turned to acknowledge her. “Hello.”

Melinda rested her chin in her hand, her round eyes full of open curiosity and assessment.

She wasn’t swooning; she simply felt Damian’s face was amiliar, as if she’d seen him somewhere before.

But try as she might, she couldn’t place him.

When he greeted her, Melinda

But Melinda insisted seriously, “No, I mean it. I genuinely feel like I’ve seen you before.”

Having fielded plenty of approaches, Damian didn’t tak her words to heart. He joked, “In a dream, maybe?”

Hearing that, Melinda felt a spike of exasperation. She drew a sharp breath. “You’re pretty full of yourself.”

Damian’s grin widened. “I’ve been told.”

Scarlett overheard their entire exchange.

When Melinda said Damian looked familiar, a question flickered in Scarlett’s mind.

Could the person Damian claimed had saved him all those years ago be someone other than who she’d assumed?

Once the extra dishes arrived, Damian first served a few careful bites to Scarlett before beginning to eat himself.

After tasting a couple of mouthfuls and finding the food quite good, he went to serve her again.

This time, Scarlett declined. “Thank you, but I’ve had enough.”

Hearing that, Damian didn’t press and simply continued eating.

Seeing this, Nolan picked up his own utensils and place a serving on Scarlett’s plate.

This time, she didn’t refuse, slowly eating what he’d given her.

Watching the exchange, Damian couldn’t suppress a low disapproving sound in his throat.

Though annoyed, he kept the simmering frustration in check.

Nearby, Melinda was mostly finished but kept stealing glances at Damian.

He was undeniably handsome and striking, but her feeling of recognition persisted–she just couldn’t pinpoint why.

Her thoughts felt tangled, so she forced herself to drop it.

Meanwhile, Abbott–who had failed to bring Scarlett back–returned dejectedly to the restaurant where Vincent was waiting.

Pushing open the door to the private dining room, he saw it had been carefully prepared: balloons, wrapped gifts arranged in advance, an elegant lunch spread, and even a celebratory cake.

Only Vincent was inside. Hearing the door, he turned instinctively.

Seeing it was Abbott, the smile vanished from his face.

Then Vincent asked, his voice low and controlled, “Where is my wife?”

Abbott kept his head bowed, his voice trembling slightly “She… she left with Mr. Huntley.”

Hearing that, Vincent slammed the spoon in his hand down onto the table.

After the loud, jarring clatter, his voice rose. “What? How could you let this happen? If you can’t even bring her back, what use are you?”

Abbott looked genuinely distressed but tried to explain. Mrs. Stewart chose to go with him. I… I couldn’t stop her.”

Vincent clearly had no patience for excuses. He snapped sharply, “Get out.”
