He Knows But Too Late (Bianca and Blair) novel Chapter 312

chapter312

Only by making a man invest more will he be less willing to leave you.

Elvin had countless beauties around him, but none stayed long, wasn’t it because they were gotten too easily?

Diane wanted to be, and would be, the most special one.

So she didn’t reply to Elvin’s message.

Leaving him hanging might make him more obsessed.

After seeing Diane off, Blair returned to his study to continue working.

He hadn’t been busy for long when the study door quietly creaked open. Just by the footsteps, Blair knew it was Winnie.

He stopped working and turned around. Winnie stood there hugging her doll in pajamas. Approaching him, she whispered, “Daddy, how much longer till you sleep?”

Blair looked down, scooped Winnie onto his lap, and nuzzled her forehead with his. “Daddy’s working late. Might be a while.”

Winnie pouted, clearly unhappy.

Blair gently pinched her earlobe. “You go to bed first, okay?”

Winnie pressed her lips together, silent.

Seeing her distress, Blair patiently asked, “What’s wrong?”

Winnie wasn’t sure herself. She just… sort of missed Bianca.

When Mom was here, she never yelled. She’d always explain things gently.

But last night, Maxine had shouted at her. How could she not feel hurt?

Though Grandina Maxine said she only did it because Winnie wouldn’t stop crying.

Remembering this, Winnie swallowed her words. She’d promised Grandma Maxine not to tell.

When Winnie stayed quiet, Blair tried again. “How about going to Grandma Maxine for bedtime?”

Hearing “Maxine,” Winnie instinctively resisted. “No. I won’t.”

Thinking she wanted his company, Blair soothed, “Daddy will come tuck you in when he’s done, alright?”

Winnie didn’t answer but slid off his lap.

Without another word, she retreated to her room.

Lying in her soft bed, Winnie felt hollow inside.

Minutes passed. Blair didn’t follow.

Right then, Winnie suddenly missed Bianca terribly.

If it were Mom, she’d drop everything to be with her–even rushing out mid–bathroom break.

But Daddy wouldn’t. He was always busy working.

Thinking of Bianca, Winnie’s eyes welled up unexpectedly.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside her door.

Winnie glanced toward the slightly open doorway and saw Bianca’s figure flash past.

Mom didn’t come in to check on her.

Winnie rolled toward the window, tears streaming down her face.

After crying for what felt like ages, sleep wouldn’t come. She sat up, deciding to find Diane.

Daddy bought Aunt Diane a house right next door. She could go alone.

Hugging her doll, Winnie slipped out of Harmony Residence.

Pressing the neighbor’s doorbell, she eagerly awaited Diane–ready for a warm hug.

But it wasn’t Diane who answered. Maxine opened the door.

Winnie’s face paled at the sight.

Maxine swung the door wide, warmly grasping Winnie’s small hand. “So cold! Why so lightly dressed? Quick, come in! Grandma Maxine will warm up some milk.”
