Blair away, pretending to be her husband! Call the cops!"

The old man Looked at Wesley closely.

“What nonsense are you spouting now? Adalson called me just a moment ago. He said Blair's husband was on his way to visit us. A tall and handsome young man, he said. Isn't that him?" He pointed towards Wesley.

“Blair! What are you doing, just standing there and Listening to your grandma's delusions?"

Wesley had earlier told Adalson about his plan to visit Blair's grandparents. It was obviously a good decision

Marie dropped the broom. A big smile crept across her wrinkled face

“So, it's true. This handsome soldier is Blair's husband." She told

Blair off, "You naughty girl, how dare you lie to me? Young man, come in."

“Thank you, Grandma. Grandpa, it's a pleasure meeting you." Greenwood nodded. Wesley took the food bags and followed Marie into the house.

Blair was left behind, speechless.

In the small living room, the two elders entertained their grandson-in-law with much hospitality. They made tea and cut some fruits for him.

“Wesley, please feel at home. Have some of this orange.

Your grandpa just bought it from the market. It's fresh."

Wesley took the orange gratefully.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“Don't be so formal. We're family."

Greenwood sat opposite him and handed him a pack of cigarettes.

“Need a smoke?"

"I used to smoke a lot. But I have quit now." He still planned on having a child with Blair.

"I see. Are you here to pick Blair up?"

Wesley threw a glance outside the window. The woman had gone back to weeding on the vegetable patch.

"I wanted to apologize to her. I won't leave here until she's willing to go back with me."

Greenwood tapped his cigarette in the ashtray and asked with concern,

“What happened? Did you tick her off? Adalson told me that you are an officer in the army. And you have a rich background. Did you cheat on my granddaughter?"

“No, no. I would never. I just came back to Alorith from the border after a long assignment. But I was occupied with something else and didn't get a chance to contact her sooner. She's still angry about that." Wesley intentionally left out Megan's name.
