Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 528

Damien Clarke lowered his phone, staring at the screen as the busy signal hummed.

Who exactly was this Dr. Serrano?

He spoke about Mr. K as if the man were a minor nuisance.

And the way he so affectionately referred to Grace Hart...

But that wasn't what made Damien's chest tighten.

The moment the call dropped, a notification popped up on his screen: a missed call.

From Grace.

Damien's heart skipped a beat.

He had been buried in work for days, barely sleeping, let alone coming home. Grace was already in a fragile state, and the one time she finally reached out, he missed it.

"Felix, get the car ready!"

Damien grabbed his suit jacket and stormed toward the door. "I'm heading home."

"But Mr. Clarke, the international board meeting starts in ten minutes..."

"Cancel it!"

There wasn't a business deal in the world more important than his wife.

Damien practically sprinted into the elevator.

Back at the villa, Grace sat by the window, watching her phone screen slowly fade to black.

"The user is busy..."

Who was he on the phone with at this hour?

Was it work?

Or was it... someone else?

Grace hated the paranoid, bitter thoughts invading her mind, but she couldn't silence them.

Ever since her grandmother's funeral, Damien had been physically present but emotionally a million miles away.

It made sense, she reasoned bitterly.

Who would want to come home to a woman drowning in her own misery, crying all the time?

She let out a hollow laugh.

Tossing the phone onto the sofa, she stood up and gently lifted a sleeping Gianna into her arms.

"Come on, Gianna. Let's go see Grandma."
