Blair took a step back and asked, “Then what?”
Wesley gave her a smug smile and answered, “I’ll make love to you so much you won’t be able to leave the bed for three days.” He had Long wanted to do this. But his logic always stopped him.
Blair’s face was now as red as a tomato. [*|
When she heard what Wesley said, Blair secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She used to wonder if he was gay. Now she was sure he wasn’t.
Her cheeks burning red, Blair turned around and broke into a brisk trot to hide her shyness.

“You’re right.” Wesley didn’t deny it. He would worry about her if she lived alone or even if she lived with a female colleague.
‘He just admitted it! He didn’t try to lie or play it off!’ Blair thought.
“If Hartwell says anything, don’t tell him we live together,” she said.

“That depends,”
Wesley said with a shrug.
The two drove to a nearby shopping mall. They proceeded to the food court, and at Blair’s suggestion, they went in on a three-sauce simmer pot-a shareable hot pot with herbs and juices from 10 different types of vegetables, seasoned with rice wine, sesoil, and soy sauce. They got to choose the
meats that went into it, and his selection was beef with enoki mushrooms, while she wanted frog legs. It all smelled so delicious they couldn’t eat it fast enough. After that, they went to the department store to buy pans, dishes, scrubbies, detergent, Lamps etc., to set up the apartment.
On their way home, Blair got a call from Cecelia. She touched down safely in her hcountry and Baldwin picked her up from the airport.
“You must be tired now, Aunt Cecelia. Get ssleep,” Blair said ina soft voice.
“Sure. Hey Blair, are you with Wesley now? Can you tell him I got halright?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlair was at a loss for words for a bit, and didn’t know whether she should tell her the truth or not. Then she looked at Wesley and answered honestly, “Yeah, we just had supper. I’ll let him know.”
“Thanks, Blair. Get him to take you back home. You need to go to bed early too. I’ll call Niles and ask him to check on you tomorrow.”
“No need for that, Aunt Cecelia. I’ll call him myself,” Blair said hurriedly. ‘Maybe I should ask Niles to tell his mom the truth.‘
“ALL right. Goodbye, Blair.”
“Bye, Aunt Cecelia.”
After hanging up, Blair called Niles.
“Hi Niles!” she said.
Upon hearing that, Wesley cast a meaningful look at her.
“Hey sis-in-Law. What’s up?” Niles’ cheerful voice cfrom the other end of the line.
“What? No, I’m not— Never mind. I’m calling to tell you that your mom probably needs to be straightened out on our relationship. I told her a couple times, but she didn’t listen.” Blair felt rather helpless.
