Only when Grandpa’s breathing steadied did Blair turn sideways, wrapping his arm around Bianca’s waist and pulling her entire body against his chest.
Bianca’s cold back met Blair’s burning warmth.
Amidst the temperature contrast, Blair brushed his lips against her earlobe and murmured, “You think Grandpa was wrong?”
Bianca froze momentarily. “Blair, I want to sleep,” she said.
Blair ignored her words. “Grandpa treated Grandma well. He loved her deeply.”
At this, Bianca opened her eyes, turning to glare at him. “Love isn’t confinement,” she whispered fiercely. “It’s not forcing someone to change.”
Blair met her gaze unflinchingly, his voice hushed. “Then what is love?”
Bianca hesitated, then answered truthfully, “Like how you treated Ye. You-”
Before she finished, Grandpa suddenly opened his eyes. “Blair,” he said, “I forgot to mention–Billy’s birthday party is this weekend. Go in my place.”
Blair paused. “Which day exactly?”
“Saturday night.”

“Okay,” Blair agreed.
Soon, Grandpa Urifted back to sleep.
Once his breathing deepened, Blair asked Bianca, “What were you saying earlier?”
Drowsiness overwhelmed her, and she stayed silent.
When Bianca woke the next morning, Blair was gone.
Grandpa still slept as the maid brought breakfast.
Needing to work, Bianca left the hospital after instructing the maid to stay.
That evening, Blair didn’t come for her, nor did she plan to revisit the hospital.
So she returned to the Watts family home.
Upon entering, Kellie burst from the living room, clinging to Bianca like a monkey.
“Aunt, I missed you! Two whole days without seeing you!”
Kellie nuzzled Bianca’s cheek, radiating affection.
Bianca lifted her, kissing Kellie’s plump cheek. “Aunt missed Kellie too.”
Kellie poked Bianca’s face gently. “Aunt, my school’s autumn outing is next week. Come with me?”
“Autumn outing?”

Bianca’s voice held doubt.
Early winter seemed late for such activities.
Unaware, Kellie nodded. “Teacher said so.”
Bianca scanned her work schedule. “Kellie, Aunt’s on duty that day. Ask Mom and Dad to go with you, okay?”
Kellie said: “Mom said she’ll go with me, but Dad can’t make it. So I want Aunt to come along too.”
Bianca sighed helplessly before agreeing: “Then Aunt will try swapping shifts. If it works out, I’ll go with you.”
Kellie jumped for joy, waving her arms excitedly.
The next day at noon.
Since it was Saturday, Bianca slept in.
When she finally woke, it was past ten.
Just then, Blair’s call came through.
After answering, Blair said: “I’ll pick you up. We need to get styled this afternoon.”
Before noon, Blair arrived.
He drove Bianca to the salon.
After dropping her off, Blair told her: “I’ll swing by the office first. I’ll come back for you later.”

Bianca didn’t question his plans, simply nodding: “Alright.”
Throughout the afternoon, Bianca received meticulous styling.
The stylist chose a black evening gown for her. Her hair was swept into a low bun at the nape, with two wispy strands framing her face –
making her features appear even more delicate.
Jewelry and earrings completed her elegant transformation.
By six in the evening, Blair finally rushed in.
Bianca had been ready and waiting nearly half an hour.
When Blair saw her, one glance left him stunned.
Married five years, he’d never realized his wife could look so breathtaking.
Her slender frame transformed into striking beauty with just slight enhancement.
Even Blair, accustomed to seeing countless beauties, found himself astonished.
Ignoring his gaze, Bianca sat quietly awaiting instructions.
Blair got his hair styled, finishing by six–thirty.
As he stood, Bianca rose simultaneously.
While leaving together, Bianca caught the faint stain on Blair’s shirt.
She recognized it as foundation.
