Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 894

Though fully aware they could never return to the past, she had to make this sacrifice for Nolan.

A man as brilliant as Nolan didn't deserve to die.

Yet doing this was so incredibly unfair to Damian.

As the car sped along, two voices waged war inside Scarlett's head.

One urged her to abandon Nolan and cling to her happiness with Damian.

The other begged her to save Nolan—after all, he had treated her so well and taught her so much.

She desperately wanted to be selfish for once, but a human life hung in the balance—how could she stay indifferent?

She couldn't even turn a cold shoulder to a stranger, let alone Nolan.

Eyes glued to the road, Damian slammed his foot hard on the gas.

In this beat, his mind held a single purpose: get home fast and talk through tonight's crisis with Scarlett.

Nothing could be pushed off until tomorrow.

Yet Damian had no idea Scarlett had already locked in her decision to leave him.

The vehicle finally pulled up outside Langley Manor.

The moment the car stopped, Damian hopped out, opened the passenger door, and extended his hand to Scarlett, "Get down, babe—let's talk this through inside."

Even now, he truly believed as long as they sat down and talked, no hurdle was too big to overcome.

Staring at Damian's offered hand, Scarlett hesitated before placing hers in his.

Stepping out, she said nothing, trailing behind Damian into Langley Manor.

They walked into the estate side by side, hand in hand just like many times before.

Except this walk lacked sweetness, because Scarlett knew leaving Langley Manor tonight meant their romance was officially dead.

Neither uttered a word along the walkway to the main hall.

The silent tension amplified the heartache lingering in the air.

Stepping into the main foyer, Damian turned around and deadbolted the front door.
