Wesley ignored the roar and turned around to continue climbing.


    Four more floors up, when ir felt like she was going to fall down, his phone vibrated. ir heard it


    too.


    Hi, Mom,” he greeted Cecelia in his usual two-word sentence.


    “Wes, I hear that you’re off-duty tomorrow. Is that right?” Cecelia’s voice was loud enough to reach


    ir’s ears.


    “Yes Wesley answered. But before the matter could continue further,


    ninjanovel


    ir’s eyes gleamed!


    “It’s Cecelia! I’m saved, ‘ she thought. After taking a deep breath, she climbed up the three steps


    between them to quickly snatch his phone. Even though he wouldn’t give it to her, ir managed to get


    her voice through by shouting out loud, “Aunt Cecelia, help me! Your son is being cruel to me!”


    Wesley was speechless. He had no idea ir was going to y this card!


    Cecelia’s eyes lit up when she heard ir’s voice, even though her sentence wasn’t clear.


    “Son, is that ir? Are you with her? Put her on the phone. I want to speak to her. Hurry now.”

    Wesley had no choice now. He had to hand his cell over to ir, who was gloating in glee now.


    Once ir had the phone in her hand, she felt like she could finally get justice for the torture she had


    been facing and started telling on


    Wesley.


    “Aunt Cecelia, I don’t know what I did wrong, but Wesley is punishing me for some random reason by


    making me climb to the 21st floor. On stairs! And he didn’t even let me eat. He also yelled at me.”


    Wesley Listened on with a poker face while ir made some false and some true usations against


    him. She was taking full advantage.


    Cecelia felt bad when she heard ir’s sad voice, and she wasn’t happy about the way Wesley treated


    ir either. In fact, from what she was hearing, he was being cruel. True it wasn’t easy for him to Like


    someone, but now that he had feelings for ir, he definitely needed to treat her better.


    “There, there. Don’t be so sad, ir. Don’t cry!


    I am here, and I am going to give Wes a good tongueshing. You go take the elevator.”


    “But I am scared, Aunt. And he won’t allow me to do that,” ir continued in a timid tone, even though


    she was smirking much more dly at Wesley now, with her left hand on her waist. He looked at her in


    disbelief. This woman was unbelievable!


    “It’s okay. He will. Give the phone to him and I’ll talk some sense into the man!”


    “Okay. Thank you, Aunt Cecelia.” ir returned the phone to Wesley with a happy expression that was


    in total contrast to her timid tone.


    “Wes, what’s going on? How can you treat a girl like that? How do you even dare? Maybe you can


    easily climb so many stairs, but ir is a girl. Girls are delicate. They should be treated gently. That’s


    twenty-one floors. How can you make her do that?”


    Though her words weren’t so harsh, Cecelia sounded angry. As he was being scolded, Wesley didn’t


    exin. He didn’t even say a single word but merely kept on staring at ir.


    The trouble was, there was only one apartment on each floor in this building. What was more, for some


    reason, the elevator on each floor was exclusive to the person who lived there. This meant that ir


    couldn’t use the elevator on the tenth floor. Either she continued climbing or she would have to go all


    the way down!


    After listening to Cecelia’s scolding for a while, Wesley finally spoke and assured her, “Okay, Mom! I’ll


    carry her upstairs now.”
