Chapter 1839
It was not that Cecelia didn’t want her to eat grapes or mangosteens.
The only problem she had with them was that she herself did not Like fruits that needed to be peeled, which meant cherries and blueberries in her opinion were the best. Her remark had been Laid out in kindness, but she had blissfully made the mistake of not thinking that maybe
Blair had different preferences than her.
Niles cast a burning glance towards Wesley. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“They weren’t for Blair, were they? You wanted them!”
“Mmm. Wesley didn’t deny the accusation and leisurely picked up a mangosteen.
Cecelia, on seeing that the girl in front of her wasn’t reacting, reached out and put a few blueberries in Blair’s hand, urging her to try some. The Latter sadly looked at the mangosteen in Wesley’s hand, drooling. She liked mangosteens a lot. And the grapes looked inviting too.
It was only Baldwin who noticed that and was amused. He stood up and slid the bowl that Niles had brought in front of Blair.

“Blair, don’t listen to them. You can eat whatever you like.”
Only then did Cecelia realize what she had said was not proper.
“No, no, no. Blair, don’t get me wrong. I just thought you might not want to peel the grapes and mangosteens,” she explained hurriedly in a flustered tone.
Blair gave her a reassuring smile.
“Aunt Cecelia, I knew what you meant.”
Wesley placed the mangosteen that he had already peeled in front of
Blair. Then he decided that he would help her settle in, and took her suitcase upstairs, leaving her in the living room with his family.
By the time they were done with supper, it was still quite early.
Cecelia suggested that Blair and Wesley go take a walk. Niles wanted to hang around with the two, but Keith made up an excuse, saying that he was not feeling well and the poor man was forced to stay. To be honest, the old man was feeling chipper than ever but wanted to create more chances for Blair and Wesley to bond. They all liked the girl.
Instead of taking a walk, the two got in his car, and Wesley drove off.
“Are you full?” he asked.
“I’m stuffed,” Blair responded. The Leonard family members had all been very kind to her, to the point that they had stuffed her beyond her limit. Cecelia had placed some food onto Blair’s plate even after she was full.
Wesley said nothing more. After a moment of thought, Blair said seriously, “How about I stay at a hotel tonight? There’s one not far from where you’re living.” It would be improper to stay at the Leonard family’s villa. Especially given what happened between her and Wesley.
“No need for that. We have tons of space.”
“But I hate bugging you…” ‘I’m not Wesley’s girlfriend. It’s pretty embarrassing to stay with him, ‘ she thought.
“Don’t think like that. My family loves you. They Love having you around. Please. Stay,” Wesley said earnestly. He could tell that his grandpa was more than thrilled because Blair was there. There was a spring in the old man’s step and a light in his eyes. He wanted his grandpa to be happy. More importantly, he wanted to spend more time with her.
Rather than argue any further, Blair gave in.
