“Is that okay, Mr. Wesley?"
“Not really. I wish I could feel your kiss.”
Blair blushed.
“That's enough. Off to work. Goodbye."
“Mm hmm. Honey, I love you.”
She had heard the words “I love you" drop from his mouth every chance he got. He didn't hesitate to confess his love.
"I know. I love you, too. Now, go back to work."
Wesley reluctantly hung up the phone.
Their phone calls used to be short. But somehow, their conversations got longer and longer. They seemed to have a ton of sweet words for each other.
If he could, Wesley would keep Blair on the phone forever. But he couldn't; he had to work.
After putting away his phone, Wesley returned to his usually serious self and walked back to his office.
Blair waited until Gifford said goodbye to his playmates. Then, she took him to the supermarket.
"It's late today. We'll go buy some new pants tomorrow, but let's get something to eat tonight. What do you think?"
The little boy nodded, “Yes. Mommy, food... cheese potato."
"Cheese potato?' Blair knocked it around in her brain.
"You mean cheesy bacon potatoes?" She remembered the chef at home had cooked that last time.
Gifford clapped his hands excitedly.
“Uh huh!"
“But I've never cooked that before. I'll give it a shot. Want to try it? Don't blame me if it tastes bad." Blair took his little hand in hers and walked slowly.
"Okay."
Blair had installed an app for children's cuisine on her phone before.
She wrote down the recipes she was interested in, so now she just needed to buy the ingredients.
She put the Little boy into the shopping cart and pushed it around the supermarket.
“It's just you and me tonight. We don't need to buy too much food. How about tofu, fried rice with diced chicken, shrimp... and vegetable porridge. Sound good, little one?"
One of Keith's comrades-in-arm had passed away, so Baldwin and Cecelia accompanied the older man to attend the funeral. They informed Blair that they wouldn't come back home that night. The maid was on leave too. Hence, Blair and Gifford were the only ones left at home.
