Chapter 1709

“It’s not a big deal. We don’t need to tell her right now,” Niles said nonchalantly. ‘If Mom knows that

Blair isn’t my girlfriend, then

Grandpa will find out. He won’t buy me the house then!’ he thought.

“Wait! What?” Blair couldn’t believe her ears.

Niles tried to recover from his fumble.

“Oh, I mean…I’m really busy now. I’ll call her when I’m done working. Okay?”

“Okay. Niles, your mom is so awesome. You better find a girlfriend soon so that she won’t pair me off

with you.”

After some consideration, Niles said, “The easiest way is for you to get together with Wesley. Then

we’ll both be happy. What do you think?”

‘Oops, I was wrong. It’s not that Blair doesn’t want to be with Wesley, but the other way round, ‘ he

thought.

Blair cast a casual glance at Wesley and answered, “No, no. I’m not your brother’s type. He’s trying to

foist me on you.”

Wesley stopped walking and stared at her with a frown.

“On me? You’re kidding! Know what? My brother may be all serious on the outside, but he’s really

passionate and gentle. Don’t give up! I believe in you. Keep at it, and you can really be my sister-in-

law,”

Niles answered.

‘Passionate and gentle?’ “Bwahaha!” Niles’ words made Blair laugh out loud. But as soon as she saw

Wesley’s deadpan face, she stopped laughing and made a face.

“You know him well.”

“Of course! You have to know this! You remember I told you he stroked your hand—”

“Niles!” The angry roar made Niles shiver. He wondered why he heard

Wesley’s voice on the other end.

“Blair, am I hearing things?” Niles asked with the utmost care.

Wesley took away Blair’s phone and told Niles, “No, you’re not hearing things. Keep talking. What were

you going to say?” So now a private conversation couldn’t be private, not where Wesley was

concerned.

“Wesley… Um…you’re a handsome guy. You and Blair are a perfect match. You’re meant to be

together. Uh…ha-ha… I still have work to do. Bye!” Before Wesley could say another word, Niles hung

up the phone.

Wesley stared at Blair’s phone and recalled what Niles said. ‘So he saw me stroking her hand at the

hospital?”

He was about to give the phone back to Blair when he met her teasing eyes. Now he was sure that

Niles said something about that.

His tanned face seemed to have blushed. Blair widened her eyes and tried to see if she was seeing

things. Wesley gave her phone back and walked forward quickly.

“Niles always makes up stories. Just ignore him,” he said, trying to hide his shyness.

Blair tittered under her breath. Judging from Wesley’s reaction, she was sure that what Niles said was

true. She wondered when that happened, when Wesley stroked her hand.
