True Love Waits

Chapter 581 Thank You, Brother

"Son, come here! Look who I am with!" Cecelia adjusted her phone and aimed the camera at Blair, who seemed to have something to say but didn't know how to do so. Right at that moment, Wesley walked out of the bathroom.

Niles didn't show up in the video until two seconds later when he turned on the light. "Hello, Mom. Oh, you're with Blair and Wesley."

"Right. It would have been so great if you were here too. But it's okay, dear. You focus on your studies, and I'll take care of Blair for you. Look at the dishes I had a chef prepare. They look yummy, don't they?" As Cecelia and Niles began an animated discussion, Wesley sat opposite Blair and grabbed a bowl to ladle some soup.

Seeing that, Blair had an idea. She stood up and snatched the bowl away from him. "I'll do it for you," she uttered gallantly.

Cecelia was surprised to see this helpful effort. Wesley glanced at his mom, but didn't turn Blair down.

Afraid that Niles would get jealous on this sight, Cecelia covered the phone camera and scolded her older son, "Wesley, why did you ask Blair to ladle soup for you? Use your own hands!" Actually, Niles had already seen what Blair was doing.

Finding it interesting, he asked deliberately, "Mom, is Blair ladling soup for my brother?"

Cecelia felt that the situation was getting awkward. She removed her hand from the camera and told him, "Yes, but she ladled soup for me too. She is really a thoughtful girl."

Niles couldn't understand why his mom was saying that, and Blair herself was left speechless. Wesley kept on eating, as if what was going on didn't concern him at all.

Blair kicked him under the table. He paused and looked up at her.

When she saw that Cecelia wasn't paying attention to them, Blair mouthed to Wesley, "Explain."

She had tried to clarify her relationship with Niles to Cecelia, but it had only caused more misunderstanding.

Wesley was puzzled. 'Explain what? She hasn't explained why she is suddenly with Niles. Now she wants an explanation from me?'

Now that Blair was saying so, she thought it must be because Niles had always taken good care of Blair. "That's good to hear. You stay here as long as you like. When Niles isn't around, you can call
