Chapter 380 Too Late
He hadn’t planned on sticking around; he was going to quietly slip back into his room–but to his surprise, Sienna suddenly opened the bedroom door and stepped out.
When she saw Winston wrapped in bandages from head to toe, her eyes widened; a flash of shock and confusion passed through them. Then, almost instinctively, she spoke: “What happened to you… did you get into a fight?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she’d spoken too loudly.
Sienna raised her finger to her lips and shushed him softly. “Your brother caught a cold, he’s been feeling unwell since last night. Let’s step away while we talk–don’t wake him up.
Hearing that, Winston felt another sharp pang in his chest.
So, for an entire day and night, not only had she failed to notice that he’d gone missing–she’d been pouring all her attention into Dominic, taking care of him….
Winston couldn’t even describe how he felt in that moment. His mind was a mess, his emotions tangled and agitated; it was as if he hadn’t heard a word Sienna said. He just kept his face cold and headed straight for his bedroom.
Sienna was taken aback and quickly followed after him, stepping into the room behind him.
“What’s going on with you?” she asked with a frown. “Are you mad at me?”
Winston lowered his eyes and stayed silent.
His expression was cold as ice, and there was an oppressive force radiating off him.
For the first time, Sienna sensed this kind of pressure coming from her child.
She couldn’t help softening her tone. She crouched down, trying to meet Winston’s gaze at eye level. “Tell Mommy what’s wrong. Why are you covered in injuries?”
Winston’s eyes were dull and distant, completely void of warmth. “You don’t care about me at all, do you?”
“Yesterday, I tried calling you. You never answered…” he stated calmly, his face blank and emotionless.
“Calling me?” Sienna’s eyes widened; it took her a second to remember her phone. “I left it in the study… your brother was already sick yesterday, and I’ve been busy taking care of him…”
“You really called me?” she said, flustered and a little regretful. “I’m sorry–I didn’t see it…”
So it was true–she had spent the entire time taking care of Dominic, completely unaware of what Winston had gone through…
Winston felt powerless.
He harbored resentment toward Sienna, but at the same time, he also began to feel something strange toward Dominic.
Because Dominic had stolen their mother’s attention–and that was why no one had noticed when Winston was in danger…
