Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 878

Sobbing softly, a bitter chuckle broke from her lips.

Yet Damian missed her breakdown, his eyes locked solely on Scarlett.

Squeezing Scarlett's hand, Damian asked with a gentle grin, "Feeling better now?"

Blushing red, Scarlett murmured, "Yeah, much better."

Before the words faded, she added quickly, "Thanks."

At her thanks, Damian tapped his cheek with a finger, issuing a bossy command, "Kiss me."

His tone sounded so assertive it left no room for argument.

Scarlett wondered if she'd misheard, but catching Damian's deadpan look, she realized he was serious.

Wide-eyed shock flashed through her gaze.

Damian chuckled, "If you're too shy to kiss me in front of everyone, then drop the 'thanks' from now on."

His expression stayed firm, his tone deeply earnest.

Smiling softly, Scarlett nodded, "Got it, promise."

Looking down to take his hand, she caught sight of a band-aid wrapped around his left index finger.

Startled, she grabbed his hand for a closer look, asking in confusion, "When'd you hurt your hand?"

Damian tried pulling back, but Scarlett held tight, refusing to let go.

Seeing her persistence, Damian admitted sheepishly, "Cut it by mistake while slicing an apple for you this morning."

Scarlett pressed instantly, "Why didn't you mention it this morning?"

Gently rubbing her earlobe, Damian coaxed, "It's just a tiny scratch, nothing crazy."

A wave of guilt washed over Scarlett as she lowered her head, "Damian, I'm not that delicate—I could've just bitten into the apple."

Catching the wobble in her voice, Damian soothed quickly, "Treating you well is standard procedure, not some bonus points—don't get teary over basic stuff; what I do is bare minimum."

Looking at him through misty eyes, Scarlett felt choked up.

Tuning out the noise in the grand hall, Damian smiled tenderly into her eyes, "Got that, silly girl?"
