Wesley instantly cast him a warning glance. Niles flinched in fear and moved his eyes away, avoiding any eye contact with his brother.
“Okay, that answers my question.” Keith slowed his pace as he was deep in thought. ‘So Wesley likes her?’ That was something new to the old man. From what he knew, Wesley never showed any interest in girls.
Megan was the only girl around him.
Seeing his grandfather’s contemplative face, Wesley had no choice but to remind him, “Don’t read too much into that, Grandpa. She’s engaged.”
“Oh…yeah.” Keith shook his head.
“What a shame…”

“You’ve gotta be tired. That was a long flight. I’ll explain it to you after you get srest.”
“Alright. Keith knew he shouldn’t push Wesley too hard. Anyway, his grandson would have to confess everything to him sooner or later
On the other hand, Blair had a hard texplaining herself to Wesley’s mother.
“Wesley…he… I’ve admired him for a long time. But that’s all. It’s nothing. Besides, I’ve got a fiance and we’ll get married after I graduate.”
Although Cecelia liked Blair, she knew she shouldn’t press the issue, since Blair was already engaged. You shouldn’t break up a couple. So she stopped asking about Wesley and Blair. Before they got in their cars, Wacian told the Leonard family, “Grandpa Keith, my grandpa knows you’re here, so we’re having a dinner party. We’ve booked a room. How about we head to the restaurant now?”
