Blair stopped when she was about a meter away from Wesley. He looked nonchalant, which made her even more nervous.
“Wesley,” she said quietly.
As they stood face to face, the soldiers becquiet. Only the rustling of the Leaves could be heard. Everyone held their breath, waiting.

“I fell for you when I first met you. You’re the first man who has madewant to get married.”
She had prepared a long speech, but as she stood facing him, she forgot all of it. She could only follow her heart and say whatever she was feeling.
“I’m going abroad to study. I want to settle this before I leave. It won’t be a big deal that we are in two different places. We can video chat. But if you don’t wantto go, I will stay here.

Blair took in his meaning. She figured he was worried about getting her hurt or killed. With hopes in her heart, she shook her head.
“I want to be with you. I’m not afraid! I’m an orphan, so they can’t really go after my family.” The moment she fell in love with him, she knew the risks. She already had an answer ready for that.
The Jenkins family members were her only close relatives now. Her uncle and aunt would take care of her grandpa, while her two cousins would take care of her uncle and aunt. They were a strong family. Blair didn’t need to worry about anyone else. She could just stand at
