“Blair, lunch is ready."

Blair nodded and began to tidy her bed. Then, as she was about to go downstairs with Cecelia, she was stopped by the older woman and told,

“Blair, I get Lauren's point. She wants her daughter to be Wesley's girlfriend. But I like you. So I'm on your side."

Before Blair could answer Cecelia's question, Wesley popped in without warning.

The two women were both surprised.

Cecelia rolled her eyes at him.

“Are you spying on us? Women 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 women 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 comes to love. He doesn't understand his heart yet. Trust me. I know he has feelings for you

Just give him time.”

Blair flashed a self-mocking smile.

“Time? 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 time. 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 me. I know you want him to, but it wasn't meant to be. Know what? He told me that he was nice to me because you liked me. 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 me happy? He always pisses me off. He couldn't admit his true feelings for you and found a bullshit excuse."
