She thought about the date for a while and then remembered that it was the day she had that car accident.

Blair didn't know about it until now.

Annoyed, she decided to go to the bank and activate the SMS alert service. Then she would return the money to Wesley.

The first thing was easy to do. But the second was not.

She tried to ask for Wesley's bank account from Niles. Unexpectedly,

Niles wasn't his usual foolish self today. He just refused to tell her and asked her to talk to Wesley instead.

Having no other choice, Blair had to ask Wesley for his bank account, but obviously he knew what she was up to. He even countered with a threat.

"I am your husband and it is my duty to support the family. If you wire the money back, I swear I'LL go to your company and quit your job for you. Then, I'm going to ground you and ban you from going anywhere!"

Blair didn't have the words to respond to Wesley.

She sighed inwardly, ‘Wesley can be so stubborn sometimes! Has he even considered my feelings?

I have enough money. I sold the diamond ring and bracelet he gave me.

Besides, I have a job that pays me well enough. I may not earn a lot, but I can support myself. I don't need him to support me at all!*

If she had known things would turn out like this, she wouldn't have returned the Perfecting Cushion Wesley had bought for her. That way, he wouldn't have found an excuse to wire another one million dollars into her bank account.

As things were usually slower at work during the off-seasons, Blair asked her manager for some time off from work so she could fly to Askor and visit the Leonard family.

Blair only told Cecelia in advance that she was coming to Askor.

However, much to her surprise, Baldwin accompanied Cecelia at the airport to pick her up. Cecelia was so excited to see Blair that she almost cried in public, as if she had finally seen her daughter, who hadn't been home a long time.

They had lunch at the Leonard family's house, and then Cecelia took

Blair out to an art exhibition. Later that afternoon, they decided to go shopping, but before they went to the mall, Blair sincerely insisted

Cecelia should not buy her anything.

Cecelia assured her that she needn't worry about anything, only to go back on her words later on. She not only bought clothes for Blair, but also took her to one of the biggest laptop retail outlets in the mall.

“Aunt Cecelia, are you looking to buy a laptop?" Blair asked curiously

"Yes, dear!" Cecelia answered plainly, eyes focused on the wide selection of laptops on display.

One of the salespeople recommended two laptops to Cecelia, who then held Blair's hand and asked, "Which one do you think is better?"

“I think you should pick the one you Like!" said Blair

“It's not for me, dear." Cecelia smiled at her and continued, "I heard that your Laptop got broken. You need a new one!" Some time ago, Niles told Cecelia that Blair's Laptop was broken in the car accident.
