His words stunned Bianca into silence.
Perhaps it hurt more because they struck true.
All these years, their intimacy had never been harmonious.
Every time, Blair rushed through it like checking off a task.
She’d never experienced any pleasure throughout.
His words stung, but their incompatibility wasn’t solely her fault.
In the past, his remarks would’ve tormented her for days.
Now? It didn’t matter.
Bianca laughed coldly, answering with indifference: “Isn’t that perfect?
Neither of us needs the other.”
This version of Bianca felt utterly foreign to Blair. He frowned lightly.
After a weighted silence, he spoke again: “If you admire strength and want different experiences… sure you won’t try me once more?”
Seeing his confident demeanor, Bianca couldn’t help scoffing: “What would trying again change?
In all our years married, when did you ever last five minutes?”
After speaking, Bianca felt Blair’s grip on her jaw loosen.

In the dim light, she thought she saw a cold smirk tug at Blair’s lips.
At the same time, she remembered Diane’s mundane vlog updates – how Elvin had been with her last night.
Thinking this, Bianca couldn’t help but warn: “Blair, don’t get too cocky. Sometimes you’re nothing special.”
After speaking, she rolled away from under him and sat up.
Dawn hadn’t fully broken, but it was close.
Bianca didn’t want to sleep anymore, so she headed to the bathroom.
What Blair might be thinking outside didn’t concern her.
When she emerged, Blair had already left the room.
By the time she dressed, morning light barely touched the sky.
Though early, Bianca had no intention of staying at Harmony Residence.
Leaving the guest room, she heard crying from Winnie’s room: “Waaah! Dad! Aunt Diane won’t answer! She doesn’t want me!”
The door stood ajar. Bianca saw Blair by the bed where Winnie stood clutching his waist, crying her heart out.
Blair soothed his daughter: “It’s still early, sweetheart. Aunt Diane might be sleeping.”
Winnie looked up tearfully: “But Dad, she always wakes me at this time! Not today!”
Blair gently stroked her hair: “Should I call Aunt Diane for you?”

Winnie nodded eagerly: “Yes!”
Cradling Winnie, Blair dialed Diane’s number.
The call went straight to voicemail.
Bianca lingered at the doorway, hearing the robotic female recording.
Recalling Diane’s social media posts, Bianca wondered if she’d had a wonderful night.
Shaking her head with a faint smile, Bianca headed downstairs.
Winnie, still hugging Blair’s waist, spotted Bianca’s shadow passing the door.
Did Mom hear me crying?
Why didn’t she come comfort me?
She always cared before.
But this wasn’t the first time.
Winnie knew Mom didn’t love her anymore.
Whatever. She still had Aunt Diane.
Strangely calm now, Winnie told Blair: “Dad, Aunt Diane must be tired. Probably still asleep.”
Blair pinched her cheek softly: “Mhm.”
Yet he knew Diane never switched off her phone.
As a PhD candidate, she needed to answer university calls anytime.

That afternoon,‘Bianca was writing medical notes when her phone pinged.

Glancing over, she saw a WhatsApp notification from Jenna.
Opening it, she found a video: Diane clung to Blair’s arm while touring model homes.
Jenna’s text followed: “Your husband’s house–hunting.”
Bianca didn’t understand, so she replied with a question mark.
Jenna quickly sent another message: “Seriously, helping Diane choose.”
Bianca paused, then messaged Jenna: “Take more photos for me. If we get the money back later, I’ll split it with you.”
Jenna wasn’t short on cash and didn’t care about that. She just asked Bianca with concern: “Not bothered anymore?”
Bianca said: “No need.”
After Blair accompanied Diane to view properties, they finally chose the villa next to Harmony Residence.
