She easily spotted the black Hummer and Wesley smoking a cigarette in the distance.

"Didn't he say that he would quit smoking? Why is he smoking now?' she wondered in confusion as she walked towards him.

Wesley put out the cigarette and threw it into the bin. When she was standing in front of him, he went straight to the point.

"I'm being deployed to the border area of the country this afternoon."

‘The border area?’ on her face.

Hmm." Blair gave a slight nod, betraying no emotion

Wesley looked her in the eye and added, “I'll be gone for three to six months. It depends."

"Okay..." She still maintained her composure, but deep down, she felt like she would break into tears at any time.

Blair's nonchalant responses angered him even more, and he pulled her into his arms.

"Blair, why are you taking birth control pills?"

Blair was taken by surprise. ‘How...

How did he know about? Oh crap! I was in a hurry this morning. I must have left it on the table.

However, she grinned at him sarcastically and said, “Why? Did you really want to have a baby with me? Did you forget calling me a shameless woman?"

Wesley understood what she had meant. He immediately apologized.

“I'm sorry. I was angry at the time."

“Why do I take birth control pills? I think you, of all people, should know the answer." Blair Looked him straight in the eye. The first time they slept together, she expected to be in his warm embrace when she woke up. But no. The first thing that welcomed her on that morning was a box of birth control pills.

Sadness filled her eyes every time she recalled that morning. Wesley saw the look on her face and instantly understood her. After a moment of silence, he said, “Are you blaming me for asking you to take the pills after our first time?"

Blair merely smiled without uttering a word.

He swallowed and explained, "I asked Niles about it. He told me that if you had gotten pregnant in that situation, the baby would be unhealthy."

“What situation?" She was confused. ‘Why would the baby be unhealthy?‘ she wondered.

The confusion on her face silenced him. She had drugged him prior to having sex with him. It was obvious that the baby would be unhealthy if she had been pregnant. However, that was not the point now. The point was that he had to leave soon.

He hugged her tightly in his arms and his lips touched her forehead when he spoke.

“Take care of yourself during my absence. Don't think too much. Please, wait for me!"

Blair couldn't help but wrap her arms around his waist as well.

"Will do."
