Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 587

Sabrina turned, her eyes following him as he walked away.

She stood there for a long moment, staring blankly, before finally moving to follow.

Amanda had just finished making her rounds with a drink when she looked back and spotted Vincent leaving with Sabrina.

"Vincent, you and your friend aren't staying for cake?"

Her voice carried—deliberately. She wanted everyone there to hear it. Friend. That was what Sabrina was.

But no one in that room was naive. Everyone could see exactly what was going on between them. They just knew better than to say it out loud.

In their world, men having affairs was hardly news. People were used to it.

Vincent glanced back at Amanda, his expression cold. "No."

Sabrina turned too, offering a small wave. "Happy birthday, Amanda. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead."

Amanda smiled smoothly. "Thank you, dear. Take care getting home."

Sabrina nodded slightly, then hurried after Vincent.

Outside the manor, Vincent didn't get in the car right away. He lit a cigarette and stood under the streetlight, his shadow stretching long across the pavement.

Sabrina hesitated, then walked over. "Vincent."

He didn't turn. Just a quiet, "Yeah."

She reached out, touching his arm gently. "Are you upset with me?"

His expression remained calm, unreadable. "No."

She moved in front of him, tilting her head up to meet his eyes. "I don't want to hide anymore. I want to be with you openly."

Vincent dropped the cigarette, grinding it out with his shoe. He leaned in, exhaling smoke toward her, watching her nose crinkle. "Everyone I know already knows about you. How much more open do you want it to be?"

Her voice caught. "But your family doesn't know me."

She watched his face carefully, searching for something—guilt, regret, anything.

He looked away.

Sabrina followed his gaze, but his expression gave nothing away. He seemed distant, lost in something she couldn't reach. Like she'd never really understood him.

After a moment, she stepped closer and took his hand. "Vincent, take me home."

He finally looked down at her. "Okay."
