“It’s not a big deal. We don’t need to tell her right now,” Niles said nonchntly. ‘If Mom knows that


    ir isn’t my girlfriend, then


    Grandpa will find out. He won’t buy me the house then!’ he thought.


    “Wait! What?” ir couldn’t believe her ears.


    Niles tried to recover from his fumble.


    “Oh, I mean…I’m really busy now. I’ll call her when I’m done working. Okay?”


    “Okay. Niles, your mom is so awesome. You better find a girlfriend soon so that she won’t pair me off


    with you.”


    After some consideration, Niles said, “The easiest way is for you to get together with Wesley. Then


    we’ll both be happy. What do you think?”


    ‘Oops, I was wrong. It’s not that ir doesn’t want to be with Wesley, but the other way round, ‘ he


    thought.


    ir cast a casual nce at Wesley and answered, “No, no. I’m not your brother’s type. He’s trying to


    foist me on you.”

    Wesley stopped walking and stared at her with a frown.


    “On me? You’re kidding! Know what? My brother may be all serious on the outside, but he’s really


    passionate and gentle. Don’t give up! I believe in you. Keep at it, and you can really be my sister-in-


    law,”


    Niles answered.


    ‘Passionate and gentle?’ “Bwahaha!” Niles’ words made irugh out loud. But as soon as she saw


    Wesley’s deadpan face, she stoppedughing and made a face.


    “You know him well.”

    “Of course! You have to know this! You remember I told you he stroked your hand—”


    “Niles!” The angry roar made Niles shiver. He wondered why he heard


    Wesley’s voice on the other end.


    “ir, am I hearing things?” Niles asked with the utmost care.


    Wesley took away ir’s phone and told Niles, “No, you’re not hearing things. Keep talking. What were


    you going to say?” So now a private conversation couldn’t be private, not where Wesley was


    concerned.


    “Wesley… Um…you’re a handsome guy. You and ir are a perfect match. You’re meant to be


    together. Uh…ha-ha… I still have work to do. Bye!” Before Wesley could say another word, Niles hung


    up the phone.


    Wesley stared at ir’s phone and recalled what Niles said. ‘So he saw me stroking her hand at the


    hospital?”


    He was about to give the phone back to ir when he met her teasing eyes. Now he was sure that


    Niles said something about that.


    His tanned face seemed to have blushed. ir widened her eyes and tried to see if she was seeing


    things. Wesley gave her phone back and walked forward quickly.


    “Niles always makes up stories. Just ignore him,” he said, trying to hide his shyness.


    ir tittered under her breath. Judging from Wesley’s reaction, she was sure that what Niles said was


    true. She wondered when that happened, when Wesley stroked her hand.
