But he could never stay mad at her. The slightest downcast look and he would drop his tough guy image and talk tenderly to her, and whisper sweet words of Love, giving her 100% of his attention and affection

Blair's grandma had been under the weather lately, and wanted to come to the city to have it checked out. Naturally, she would take her husband along.

Greenwood called Wesley. The soldier sent two of his men to the countryside to pick up the two elders and drive them downtown.

When they arrived at Eastern Coastal Apartments, Wesley was already waiting for them at the front gate.

The old couple had stuffed so many bags with fresh vegetables and other food that when they came into view both they and the two soldiers were each carrying a heavy bag.

Blair didn't know her grandparents were coming until they showed up at the apartment.

That evening, after she had settled her grandparents in, Blair walked out of the room and asked Wesley, “Why didn't you tell me they were here? For that matter, why didn't they? Why did my grandpa call you instead of me?"

Wesley sipped a glass of water and answered calmly, "Because Grandpa likes me more."

Blair didn't know what to say. He had won her grandpa over in such a short time. Now it felt like Wesley was more a grandchild than she was.

The next morning, Wesley took Blair's grandparents to the hospital so

Marie could get checked out. After taking an X-ray, the doctor told them to go home and wait for the results.

This was the first time her grandparents had been here, so Blair decided to take them to the mall and go shopping.

Wesley was busy. He dropped them off at the mall, told them to give him a ring when they were done, and took off.

The three of them walked inside the mall and started wandering around.

Blair saw a jacket and thought it was just Greenwood's style. And she was right. No sooner had she paid for it than she got a call from

Orion. There was an important and urgent document, and they needed her help.

"Hey, guys, I'm sorry. I have to leave for a while. The food court is on the next floor. Don't leave, okay? I'll be right back."

Greenwood waved his hand dismissively.

“Don't worry. We're not going anywhere."

Before she Left, Blair got some cash from the ATM and handed it to her grandpa.

"Use this to buy some food. But be careful, cash attracts some bad people. Find anything you like? Then wait for me to come back. It's on me."

“Okay. Go do what you gotta do. This mall is huge. We're going to have fun." Blair left the mall in a hurry and hailed a cab, ordering the driver to take her to Orion's company.

The old couple had never been in such a big mall before. They were curious about everything. They would pause for a couple minutes, looking around, taking it all in.

And the goods Looked so fancy they didn't even dare to touch anything, afraid that they would break it and wouldn't be able to pay.

“Check it out! I bet you'd look good in that," Marie said, pointing at an outfit at a men's clothing outlet. They had been thrifty all their lives. Now that they had the chance to visit a metropolis, she had the impulse to buy some nice clothes
