Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 589

After firing off a few messages to Damian, Scarlett finally managed to calm herself down a little. She told herself he was probably just tied up with something—that's why he hadn't replied yet.

But even as she thought that, a knot of unease stayed lodged in her chest.

What was more, she was starting to realize just how much Damian mattered to her now.

Right as her mind was spinning with all kinds of worries, her phone screen lit up.

She grabbed it without thinking.

But when she saw the message was from Claire, the hope that had surged in her chest slowly deflated.

She opened Claire's messages and found several photos.

When she tapped on them, she realized they were from Amanda's birthday party the night before. Someone had taken pictures of the event, and her eyes immediately landed on Vincent and Sabrina—sitting close together, looking intimate.

But Vincent had explicitly told her he wouldn't be back until Friday.

That thought made her type out a question to Claire before she could stop herself. "These were taken last night?"

It only then hit her—Amanda's birthday had been yesterday.

Claire replied quickly, "Yeah, from last night."

Seeing Claire's confirmation, Scarlett went quiet for a moment.

She remembered yesterday, when Vincent had called and asked her to go check on Vanessa. But he'd already been back in the city—and still, he'd sent her instead.

She couldn't help wondering if the reason Vincent hadn't gone to see his daughter himself was because he'd been busy introducing Sabrina to his family.

Scarlett typed back to Claire, "Okay, got it."

After sending that, she immediately opened her chat with Vincent. "You're back?"

She waited about three minutes before Vincent finally replied. "No."

Her response came faster this time. "?"

Just a single question mark—a clear challenge.

Vincent held his ground. "I'll be back Friday."
