Chapter 1605
Standing at the door to the kitchen, blushing, Blair stumbled over her words, “Um, Wesley.”
He looked at her and put the broom down.
Right then, they heard the sound of a door opening. Startled, Blair ran back into the kitchen and threw the bag into a random cabinet.
Wesley caught a glimpse of the bag, but he had no clue what was inside.
Before he could ask, Megan walked over to him.
“Uncle Wesley, this
English question baffles me. Help me out?”
“English?” Wesley looked at Blair, who was washing the chives.
“She’s an English major. Ask her.”
Blair had been preoccupied with what she’d say when she gave Wesley his present, and how he might react. This made her way too nervous to pay any attention to Megan. Suddenly, she realized that he seemed to be talking about her.
“Huh?” She turned to him, confused.
Tilting her head, Megan asked, “Uncle Wesley, your English is excellent. She couldn’t be better than you, could she?”

Wesley admitted, “You bet she is. She’s passed the TEM8, TOEFL, and
IELTS tests.” He sounded firm.
Megan’s eyes were filled with admiration when she looked at Blair.
“Wow! You’re smart!” she said. The next second, the expression on her face changed. She grabbed Wesley’s arm and pleaded, “But I like the way you teach me. I’d have to get used to a different style if she helped me. It’s better if you do it. Please…”
Blair noticed the way Megan leaned on his shoulder and the way she talked to him. Wesley wasn’t annoyed at all.
“Okay, fine. I’ll be there in a minute.”
Megan scampered away. Wesley walked over to Blair, turned on the faucet and washed his hands.
“What was in the bag?”
Blair’s heart hurt as she watched the way Megan was with him. She pushed the sadness away and answered, “Nothing. Just seasoning.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
He could tell at a glance whether she was telling the truth or not. Now that she didn’t want to let him know, he didn’t press the issue. After turning off the faucet, he left the kitchen and walked into the bedroom where Megan was doing her homework.
He didn’t leave the room, even when dinner was ready.
Heart sinking, Blair carried the dishes out, placed them on the table one by one. She kept shifting her gaze to the bedroom. The door was closed, so she had no idea what was going on in there. When all the dishes had been served, she shed the apron and left Wesley’s apartment without a word.
Hearing the noise in the living room, Wesley looked at his watch to check the time. ‘It’s about time for dinner, ‘ he thought. He stood and told Megan, “Come and eat. You can do the rest after dinner.”
