Baldwin scolded his son, “Watch your mouth. Don’t scare your mom.”
Wesley fixed his eyes on the road ahead of them, but Blair’s smiling face popped up in his mind. He thought of how she looked when she held the bouquet of flowers.
“I’m not gay, Mom. But I don’t want to go on any blind dates.”
Cecelia rolled her eyes at him.
“Your EQ is even lower than your brother’s. You frighten every girl away. So if I don’t arrange a blind date for you, when do I get to be a grandma? When my hair is gray and my teeth are gone?”

Light-complexioned as you. He’ll give you a cute grandkid.”
Niles resembled their father in appearance but had the scomplexion as their mother.
Wesley was on the opposite. He Looked Like their mother but his skin was as dark as their father’s. He used to be light-skinned, but after military school, he had a permanent tan.
“Niles? Humph! Neither of you can makehappy. The Jenkins family has two sons as well. What a pity that they don’t have a daughter. If they had a girl, our two families could be joined by marriage. I was so happy to see Blair just now. But she’s already engaged. Ugh! I’m sad.”
Leaning over Baldwin’s shoulder, Cecelia put her hand on her chest to show her heartache.
Baldwin squeezed her hand and comforted, “Honey, take it easy.

Hartwell’s a few years older than Wesley, but he’s not married yet, right? Young people think differently from us.”
Cecelia sighed heavily. She finally dropped the issue.
“What about our rooms tonight?”
“LL sleep in my dorm, you all can stay in my apartment.” Wesley knew his mother didn’t like checking into a hotel room, so he had it all planned out. His apartment had three bedrooms, so it was enough for them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay.” Cecelia nodded. She hated staying at a hotel.
“But you don’t need to head back to your dorm. You can share a room with Niles.”
Wesley remembered how ugly Niles Looked when he was asleep. A dash of disdain flashed in his eyes. He didn’t like the idea. But anyway, he nodded in agreement since it was only for a few days.
When they reached the restaurant, Gilbert, Adalson and Natalia were already there.
The two families hadn’t seen each other for a long time. They greeted and embraced each other enthusiastically. After a few warm pleasantries, they all settled down at a table in the VIP room.
Adalson’s gaze swept over the guests. He asked Wacian, “Where’s Blair?”
His question attracted everyone’s attention.
That was when Cecelia noticed Blair’s absence.
Wacian explained, “We dropped her off halfway. She said she made plans with Joslyn and she’d head back Later.”
