NovelEnglishWesley ignored the roar and turned around to continue climbing.
Four more floors up, when Blair felt like she was going to fall down, his phone vibrated. Blair heard it too.
Hi, Mom,” he greeted Cecelia in his usual two-word sentence.
“Wes, I hear that you’re off-duty tomorrow. Is that right?” Cecelia’s voice was loud enough to reach Blair’s ears.
“Yes Wesley answered. But before the matter could continue further,

Blair’s eyes gleamed!
“It’s Cecelia! I’m saved, ‘ she thought. After taking a deep breath, she climbed up the three steps between them to quickly snatch his phone. Even though he wouldn’t give it to her, Blair managed to get her voice through by shouting out loud, “Aunt Cecelia, help me! Your son is being cruel to me!”
Wesley was speechless. He had no idea Blair was going to play this card!
Cecelia’s eyes lit up when she heard Blair’s voice, even though her sentence wasn’t clear.
“Son, is that Blair? Are you with her? Put her on the phone. I want to speak to her. Hurry now.”
Wesley had no choice now. He had to hand his cell over to Blair, who was gloating in glee now.
Once Blair had the phone in her hand, she felt like she could finally get justice for the torture she had been facing and started telling on
Wesley.
“Aunt Cecelia, I don’t know what I did wrong, but Wesley is punishingfor srandom reason by makingclimb to the 21st floor. On stairs! And he didn’t even leteat. He also yelled at me.”
Wesley Listened on with a poker face while Blair made sfalse and strue accusations against him. She was taking full advantage.
Cecelia felt bad when she heard Blair’s sad voice, and she wasn’t happy about the way Wesley treated Blair either. In fact, from what she was hearing, he was being cruel. True it wasn’t easy for him to Like someone, but now that he had feelings for Blair, he definitely needed to treat her better.

I am here, and I am going to give Wes a good tongue-lashing. You go take the elevator.”
“But I am scared, Aunt. And he won’t allowto do that,” Blair continued in a timid tone, even though she was smirking much more gladly at Wesley now, with her left hand on her waist. He looked at her in disbelief. This woman was unbelievable!
“It’s okay. He will. Give the phone to him and I’ll talk ssense into the man!”
“Okay. Thank you, Aunt Cecelia.” Blair returned the phone to Wesley with a happy expression that was in total contrast to her timid tone.
“Wes, what’s going on? How can you treat a girl like that? How do you even dare? Maybe you can easily climb so many stairs, but Blair is a girl. Girls are delicate. They should be treated gently. That’s twenty-one floors. How can you make her do that?”
Though her words weren’t so harsh, Cecelia sounded angry. As he was being scolded, Wesley didn’t explain. He didn’t even say a single word but merely kept on staring at Blair.
The trouble was, there was only one apartment on each floor in this building. What was more, for some reason, the elevator on each floor was exclusive to the person who lived there. This meant that Blair couldn’t use the elevator on the tenth floor. Either she continued climbing or she would have to go all the way down!
After listening to Cecelia’s scolding for a while, Wesley finally spoke and assured her, “Okay, Mom! I’ll carry her upstairs now.”
