Standing at the door to the kitchen, blushing, ir 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, ir ran back into the kitchen and threw


    the bag into a random cab.


    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 ir, who was washing the chives.


    “She’s an English major. Ask her.”


    ir had been preupied 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?”


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    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 ir.


    “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…”


    ir 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 ir, turned on the faucet and washed his hands.


    “What was in the bag?”


    ir’s heart hurt as she watched the way Megan was with him. She pushed the sadness away and


    answered, “Nothing. Just seasoning.”


    He could tell at a nce 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, ir carried the dishes out, ced 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.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
