Blair made a crying face.

"I want to! But you're a married woman now.

My cousin may return any time tonight. How about you go to my place?"

“Don't worry. He won't be coming home tonight. He's not in Alorith.

Your cousin's out of town for an important meeting. We're having a sleepover! There won't be any problem."

Blair hesitated for a moment but this was her uncle's house anyway. She nodded.

"Okay, I'll just go give Wesley a heads up."

"Yay!" Joslyn's face was filled with excitement.

Blair found Wesley in Adalson's study. The two were still talking, so she waited for Wesley by the door. Adalson knew Blair was waiting for

Wesley to come out, so he quickly summarized his thoughts and ended their discussion sooner.

When Wesley got out of the study, Blair was leaning against the wall, playing on her phone. She heard the footsteps and put her phone away.

“Are you two done talking?" Blair asked.

“Uh huh," Wesley nodded.

“Okay, here's the deal. I'll be having a sleepover with Joslyn here, so

I'm not going back to the apartment with you.”

Wesley raised his brow.

“What about Hartwell?"

“He's in meeting out of town. He won't be home tonight."

A frown formed on Wesley's face.

"But Mom made us bring a Lot of stuff.

You need to sort them out.”

“I don't see why you can't do that. The fresh fruits, meat and drinks go to the fridge; the dried fruits and the snacks go to the cabinet—"

“I can't do that. You have to come back to the apartment with me first, sort them out, and I'll drive you back here after," Wesley interrupted before Blair could finish giving instructions.

Blair was baffled by his proposal. That would be such a hassle for everyone. She paused, thinking if it was okay to Leave the perishable goods out of the fridge tonight. She wondered if she could sort them out tomorrow instead.

Seeing Blair think hard, Wesley added, “Joslyn is pregnant. You move around a lit in your sleep. What if you kick her belly?"
