Before Blair could answer Cecelia's question, Wesley popped in without warning.
The two won were both surprised.
Cecelia rolled her eyes at him. "Are you spying on us? Won only!"
Wesley glanced at the door. "You didn't close your door. I was just passing by."
"Humph! Just get out," the angry mother snorted and glared at him.
He didn't move. Instead, he looked at the two won standing hand-in-hand, and told his mother, "You don't need to be so nice to her. She won't be your daughter-in-law."
His words pained Blair's heart.
Cecelia was shocked. She didn't expect her son to speak so bluntly in front of Blair, not worrying about sparing her feelings. Irked by her stupid son, the mother ranted, "Who said anything about that? Niles likes Blair. I like Blair. I can spoil anyone I like. Why do I need your permission, huh?"
"Whatever." With that, he turned and went downstairs.
Cecelia knew how Blair felt about Wesley, so she tried to comfort the heartbroken girl. "He's an idiot when it cos to love. He doesn't understand his heart yet. Trust . I know he has feelings for you. Just give him ti."
Blair flashed a self-mocking smile. "Ti? How long do I need to wait? Aunt Cecelia, I've been into him since I was a university student. He's had a few years."
"And maybe he needs a little more ti. Don't be sad, Blair. I have your back."
Blair nodded, "I know. Thank you, Aunt Cecelia." After a pause, she added, "But you don't know Wesley. He never liked . I know you want him to, but it wasn't ant to be. Know what? He told that he was nice to because you liked . He wanted to make you happy."
She had almost believed that Wesley was a mama's boy who would do anything his mom told him to.
Unconvinced, Cecelia pursed her lips. "Make happy? He always pisses off. He couldn't admit his true feelings for you and found a bullshit excuse."
Blair smiled bitterly without uttering a word. The kind mother's comforting words couldn't chase away the sadness in her heart.
Hearing no response from the girl, Cecelia advised worriedly, "Trust . It's not to make happy. Don't believe ? Try this: Say he liked a girl, and I didn't. If he liked her
nd. He's been taking care of ..." Cecelia was excited to hear that. "See? I knew it! Wesley never knew much about won. He loves you too much so he knows what to do on instinct."
Blair nodded with a sob. "Yeah. Thank you for your support, Aunt."
"Okay. Stop crying now. If Wesley sees you, he might think I'm being an to you." Deep inside, Cecelia sympathized with this orphaned girl.
"He won't. He knows you like . He even took care of to make you happy," she joked, a complicated feeling in her heart.
"Whatever. As long as he's good to you. Okay, good night. Sleep tight."
"Good night, Aunt Cecelia."
After returning to her bedroom, Cecelia told Baldwin in a chirpy voice, "Honey, you'll never guess what Blair and Wesley were up to. Turns out your older son took her out for snacks and drinks yesterday!"
Baldwin pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose while saying, "I guess he's not that clueless after all. It's just that he hadn't t the right girl yet. See how he treats Blair? He went out and bought her lipstick and perfu, went to an amusent park with her, took her out for snacks, and he even drove her here. That's not a short drive! He took care of her while she was here. Did you raise him like that? No. He did all that because he wanted to."
"I agree. But he's still saying hurtful things. I get so angry every ti I think about it. I try to help him out, but he always disobeys ! Huh!" Cecelia remarked angrily.
