ir took a step back and asked, “Then what?”


    Wesley gave her a smug smile and answered, “I’ll make love to you so much you won’t be able to


    leave the bed for three days.” He had Long wanted to do this. But his logic always stopped him.


    ir’s face was now as red as a tomato. [*|


    When she heard what Wesley said, ir secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She used to wonder if he was


    gay. Now she was sure he wasn’t.


    Her cheeks burning red, ir turned around and broke into a brisk trot to hide her shyness.


    “What are you talking about? Sounds Like you’ve given this a lot of thought. Like you’d worry about me


    no matter what.”


    “You’re right.” Wesley didn’t deny it. He would worry about her if she lived alone or even if she lived


    with a female colleague.


    ‘He just admitted it! He didn’t try to lie or y it off!’ ir thought.


    “If Hartwell says anything, don’t tell him we live together,” she said.

    “That depends,”


    Wesley said with a shrug.


    The two drove to a nearby shopping mall. They proceeded to the food court, and at ir’s suggestion,


    they went in on a three-sauce simmer pot-a shareable hot pot with herbs and juices from 10 different


    types of vegetables, seasoned with rice wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce. They got to choose theN?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    meats that went into it, and his selection was beef with enoki mushrooms, while she wanted frog legs. It


    all smelled so delicious they couldn’t eat it fast enough. After that, they went to the department store to


    buy pans, dishes, scrubbies, detergent, Lamps etc., to set up the apartment.


    On their way home, ir got a call from Cecelia. She touched down safely in her home country and


    Baldwin picked her up from the airport.


    “You must be tired now, Aunt Cecelia. Get some sleep,” ir said ina soft voice.


    “Sure. Hey ir, are you with Wesley now? Can you tell him I got home alright?”


    ir was at a loss for words for a bit, and didn’t know whether she should tell her the truth or not. Then


    she looked at Wesley and answered honestly, “Yeah, we just had supper. I’ll let him know.”


    “Thanks, ir. Get him to take you back home. You need to go to bed early too. I’ll call Niles and ask


    him to check on you tomorrow.”


    “No need for that, Aunt Cecelia. I’ll call him myself,” ir said hurriedly. ‘Maybe I should ask Niles to tell


    his mom the truth.‘


    “ALL right. Goodbye, ir.”


    “Bye, Aunt Cecelia.”


    After hanging up, ir called Niles.


    “Hi Niles!” she said.


    Upon hearing that, Wesley cast a meaningful look at her.


    “Hey sis-in-Law. What’s up?” Niles’ cheerful voice came from the other end of the line.


    “What? No, I’m not— Never mind. I’m calling to tell you that your mom probably needs to be


    straightened out on our rtionship. I told her a couple times, but she didn’t listen.” ir felt rather


    helpless.
