Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 773

He rolled up the car window and hit the gas, pulling the sleek black Rolls-Royce away from the curb.

Watching the luxury sedan drive off, Zachary mimicked Vincent's cold tone with a scowl. "'Mind your own business and stay out of my affairs. Who does he think he is? Does he seriously believe that tough-guy act looks cool?"

Damian spoke softly to calm his irritation. "Quit letting him get under your skin. It's not worth wasting your mood over."

Zachary rolled his eyes and sighed, "Yeah, you're right."

Damian shifted to gossip right after. "How's everything going with Ms. Wright? Any progress lately?"

At the mention of Claire, Zachary's shoulders drooped like a wilted plant. "She refuses to meet up with me, and Harris keeps dropping by her place nonstop."

Damian let out a sympathetic huff. "I never thought there'd be someone you couldn't win over."

Zachary dropped his gaze. "Love can't be forced. All I've ever wanted is for her to choose me freely."

Standing quietly beside them, Felix sighed aloud, "You two really are hopeless romantics."

Damian and Zachary both whipped their heads toward him and asked in unison, "And you aren't?"

Damian fell silent after their joint question, while Zachary kept pressing on. "It's been years since Eric's mom passed away, and you've never dated anyone. Are you planning to spend the rest of your life all alone?"

Felix's features turned solemn for a long beat before he cracked a faint smile. "Let's drop this topic and hash out our upcoming plans instead."

The next dawn broke with faint gray light when Scarlett woke up.

This marked the third day after Nolan's bone marrow biopsy, the day test results were set to come out.

She hopped out of bed right away without lingering under the covers.

After washing up, she headed downstairs.

Nathan was already seated in the living room, going over paperwork, and she greeted him warmly. "Good morning, Nathan."

Nathan only glanced up from his documents without replying, but spotted her ready to head out and asked, "Where are you off to so early?"

"Nolan's in the hospital; I'm going to visit him." She left out any details about his illness.

Assuming it was just a minor ailment, Nathan nodded. "Be back soon."
