No Second Baby No You Only Divorce (Scarlett and Vincent) novel Chapter 724

Damian gazed at her intently. "Are you sure you have to go?"

Scarlett sighed softly, a touch of helplessness in her expression. "Lucy's a good person—she's like a sister to me. She hasn't done anything wrong."

Damian already knew what Lucy was like. And since Scarlett felt that way, he didn't have much choice but to relent. "Alright, go ahead. I'll be close by. If anything comes up, just give me a missed call. I promise I'll be there in under three minutes."

Scarlett offered a warm smile. "Okay."

The weather was beautiful that day—sunny and clear. Damian spent the whole afternoon out with Scarlett, and they didn't start heading back until evening was approaching.

Once they got home, Scarlett freshened up and applied a bit of makeup.

When she came downstairs, Damian walked her out.

As she got into the car, Scarlett noticed a beautifully boxed cake in the back seat, and beside it was a small, neatly wrapped gift.

Curious, she glanced over. "What's all this?"

Damian looked somewhat reluctant. "You can't show up to a birthday party empty-handed, can you?"

Scarlett smiled; she'd actually forgotten about bringing a gift.

Damian drove and dropped Scarlett off a short walk from the restaurant.

Stepping out with the cake and gift in hand, she paused by the car and reassured him, "Don't worry—I'll be fine."

Damian frowned, his concern clearly not eased. If anything, he looked even more uneasy.

He kept repeating, "If anything happens, just call out for me. The moment I hear you, I'll come running."

Scarlett let out a soft laugh, her eyes glistening slightly. "I will."

Damian walked her to the restaurant entrance, watched her go inside, and then returned to his car.

By the time Scarlett reached the private dining room, Luke and Lucy were already there.

When Lucy spotted Scarlett, she perked up instantly. "You made it! Where's my brother?"

As she asked, Lucy took Scarlett's hand and peered behind her, but there was no sign of Vincent.

Scarlett handed Lucy the cake she was carrying. "Happy birthday, Lucy."

Then she pulled out the birthday gift Damian had picked for Lucy from her bag—Scarlett had checked it earlier. It was an elegant jewelry set.

She thought it suited Lucy perfectly and decided to present it as if it were from her.

From the moment Scarlett entered, Luke hadn't offered a greeting or even really looked her way.

Lucy accepted the gift gleefully. "Thank you so much! You're the best, really."
