And a good life wasn’t something that he could give her right now.
Inside Wesley’s car, Blair was sitting quietly in her seat, reflecting on what had happened a few moments ago. She wondered whether she would have agreed to take Miller back if she weren’t living with Wesley.
After thinking about it for a while, she got the answer—no. There was no way she could do that.
Not that she was unforgiving; she could forgive all of his mistakes but not cheating. She wanted a faithful husband. And even if she chose to forgive Miller and take him back, she would never forget his betrayal. It would always remain an ugly scar in their marriage and would only lead to further tensions.
“I have to take care of a few things tonight. I’ll drop you off and leave. You will have to fix yourself something to eat later,” Wesley told her, breaking the silence of the car

Blair broke out of her reverie and nodded.
“Okay. No problem.”
“If something Like that happens again, just givea call. I am going to be there.” He would drop everything and rush to her rescue as soon as he got her call.
“I know. Thanks.” She smiled.
“You know what? I’ll give you several guys’ numbers. If you can’t reach me, call them. Any of them will help you out.” Wesley started to recite the numbers from his memory
Blair quickly typed them and saved the numbers on her phone along with the names of their respective owners: Damon, Curtis, and Carlos.
Wesley went on explaining a bit more about his associates.
“Curtis is the principal of a university. Among the three of them, Damon is always idle and Carlos is always busy. That leaves you with an interesting choice. Damon is lazy too. If it is not urgent, you can call him. If it is important, call Carlos because he likes to be prompt. Even if he doesn’t have time, he will have someone else help you.”
“Okay, sure,” Blair replied shortly. To be frank, it didn’t matter who, among the three of them, was there for her. She only wanted
Wesley’s help.
Since wherever Wesley needed to be was urgent and he had to get back to base as soon as possible, he stopped the car in front of their apartment building and nodded at Blair. After watching her walk inside, he turned his car around and drove away.

In Askor
Baldwin waited ten-odd days before he went to Keith to talk about
Niles. His initial plan to see Keith the day after he and Cecelia had talked had been waylaid by unforeseen circumstances. Out of the blue, one of Keith’s comrades-in-arms had passed away; Keith had gone to the man’s hometown to attend the funeral.
The man had been a good friend to him, so when Keith cback, he was very sad. For the next few days, he had been moody and down.
One day, while they were having dinner, Cecelia brought up Niles. When his nwas mentioned, it reminded Baldwin of what had happened between Blair and Niles, so he remarked to Keith, “Dad, Niles seems to have been rather quiet lately.”
Keith was busy piling sfood onto his plate. When he heard that, he paused and turned to Baldwin.
“Isn’t that normal for him?” The old man was under the impression that Niles might be still overjoyed with the property ownership certificate.
“No, it isn’t. He doesn’t like Blair, and Blair doesn’t Like him. But
