He looked at Blair with sympathy in his eyes.

“I think it's edible... Hey, what's that look in your eyes?" Blair stopped eating the cookie.

“Sister...no...Blair, maybe I should help you escape from my brother."

"Help me escape?’ “How and where would I go?" she asked curiously

“Anywhere's fine. My brother's too stingy. I can't even deal with him.

Don't worry, Blair. I'll be sure to send you off somewhere my brother won't find you," Niles declared with determination.

Blair was rendered speechless. ‘Wesley? Stingy?' She thought the opposite though. This was the first time someone had called Wesley stingy. He had always been generous to her. He was quite possibly the most giving man Blair had ever known.

The clothes she was wearing were given by him as well.

“So, how does my plan sound? Any good? Please really think about it. I pity you and really want to help." Niles opened a bag of sunflower seeds as he offered his advice.

Blair found his idea a little bit Laughable. Niles was such a cute guy.

She suddenly started to question whether he and Wesley were really brothers. Their personalities were the polar opposite of each other.

Wesley was serious and intense while Niles was funny and mild. The older one always beat up the younger one, but the Latter would never learn better than to pull a prank on Wesley. Blair shook her head, almost smiling.

“How are we going to execute this brilliant plan of yours then? Your brother is very influential. He has a lot of connections. You're aware of that, right? He's a top-notch soldier with great investigative skills. He also possesses a great eye for observation and capturing fugitives. Additionally, he has access to the most advanced tracking equipment available in the country. So, how are you going to help me get rid of him?"

It was the very reason she didn't even try to run away the night before. She knew it would all be for naught, and went back home with

Wesley.

It was useless to get rid of him if it was not what he wanted. He'd be able to follow her wherever she was on the face of the earth.

She found no reason to waste her effort shaking him off her tracks. It was wiser to wait for the day Wesley grew tired of her. Only then she'd be able to run away from him.

Niles was at a loss for words. Her words discouraged him.

She was right though. He was only a doctor. While he spent his days in air conditioned rooms at the hospital, Wesley was out there ridding the country of its enemies. He was simply too powerful for Niles.

Blair noticed how he grew silent.

"So, don't even try to fight him now.

Don't be reckless, okay? We won't be able to run away from your brother." As soon as she spoke those words into existence, a strange feeling loomed in on her. She thought, ‘Wait, it sounded like the two of us are planning...

“Want to elope?" a voice asked, as if reading her mind.

‘That's right! It sounded like the two of us are planning to elope,

Blair thought, nodding.
