Chapter 1628

However, he only looked at her for a couple seconds before his gaze fell on Wacian.

The two men had known each other before. Wacian knew Blair had a crush, but he didn’t know it was

Wesley. So he turned to look at Blair and said, “Hey, there’s a buddy of mine. Let’s go say hi. I’ll

introduce you.”

The smile froze on her face. Embarrassed, she tried to comb her long hair with her hands, and nodded,

“Okay.”

While Wacian and Wesley shook hands, Blair’s phone buzzed in her pocket. Before Wacian could

introduce them, he saw the girl walk to one side, answering the call. ‘Fine, forget it. Maybe next time, *

Wacian thought. He then shifted his attention to Wesley again.

“My cousin just came back from abroad. Why are you here? Picking up or dropping off?”

Wesley was stealing glances at Blair out of the corner of his eye.

Hearing Wacian’s question, he focused on the conversation and nodded,

“Picking up. My family’s flying in from Askor. I’ve come to pick them up.”

It wasn’t easy for Wesley to get a vacation. His parents hadn’t seen him for a year, so they couldn’t wait

anymore and flew out to Alorith for a reunion.

“Oh really? Since I’m not in a hurry, I’ll wait with you,” Wacian said with a smile.

Wesley caught a glimpse of Blair’s back.

“Sounds good,” he nodded.

After ending the call with Adalson, Blair walked back to Wacian. Her cousin suggested at once,

“Wesley’s meeting his family here. Let’s go say hi before leaving.”

Blair was stunned for a moment. This was unexpected. ‘Say hi to his family?’

Wacian then explained to her, “Wesley’s grandfather and our grandfather are old buddies. And

Wesley’s father helped me out a Lot when I studied in Askor. This is a rare chance. Let’s wait a while

longer, okay?”

Wesley’s grandfather-Keith Leonard, and Blair’s maternal grandfather-

Gilbert, had been friends for decades. Wesley’s father—Baldwin Leonard, and Adalson had been

comrades-in-arms for ten-odd years too. So, the

Leonard family and the Jenkins family were close. That was why Adalson paid so much attention to

Wesley. But most importantly, Wesley was one of the army’s finest. So, Adalson always thought highly

of the young man and threw a Lot of opportunities his way.

Blair nodded, “Okay.”

The three of them then walked through the passage together. Wacian formally introduced the two to

each other.

“Wesley, this is my cousin—

Blair Johnson. She’s studying in London, and just came back for the New

Year. Blair, this is Wesley Leonard, the finest soldier in your uncle

Adalson’s eyes. To be frank, I’m jealous. I think my father likes

Wesley more than me!”
