Chapter 1718

‘Will he use the same lame excuse again and say that because his mom likes me?’

Wesley was starting to get flustered.

“Why do you have so many questions? Just go back and sleep!” he ordered in a harsh voice. Before

she could respond, he placed the package into her hands again.

She was about to protest when she suddenly saw that there was a tinge of red on Wesley’s face. Her

eyes widened. ‘Am I really seeing this? Is he blushing?* She wanted to have a closer look, but he

pushed her out of his bedroom.

“Wait!” she exclaimed just as Wesley was about to close the door.

He was already getting tired. He gave out an exasperated sigh as he rubbed his eyes with his thumb

and forefinger.

“Look. You already used the perfume, so I can’t return it anymore.”

‘What? You were the one who unwrapped the perfume and sprayed it! I didn’t use it!’ she retorted in

her mind. But she didn’t say it.

Instead, she fished out a bank card from her pocket and said, “I didn’t want to disturb you, but I’m afraid

that when I wake up in the morning, you will have already Left and I won’t be able to see you in who

knows how long. So, here, take this thing. There’s $300, 000 in the bank account.

She reached out her hand towards Wesley, but he didn’t move. ‘Where did she borrow the money?

From Adalson, Hartwell, or Wacian?’ he thought.

“No. It’s not your money, so I won’t take it. When you’ve earned $300,

00, then you can give it back to me.” He then closed the door without saying anything more.

Blair stood dumbfounded outside Wesley’s door with the bank card, the perfume, and the lipstick in her

hands.

“He knows that it’s not my money? Oh, right. I just started working, and it’s not possible for me to have

the money.

What should I do? Wait to pay him back until I have earned $300, 0007

That’ll take me at least one to two years!*

Unwilling to owe him the money for that long, she knocked on Wesley’s door again after contemplating

it, making one more attempt to give him the card.

“Aren’t you sleepy? If not, then let’s go outside and run five kilometers,” he deadpanned when he

opened the door.

Wesley’s sudden proposition startled Blair. She had once been trained for a 5-km run. She knew how

horrible it was. Unsure whether he was seriously suggesting that they go for a run at past midnight or

not, she rushed back to her bedroom as fast as she could. She eventually fell asleep after a few

minutes.

When the morning came and Blair finally woke up again, Wesley had already gone.

A couple weeks passed and Wesley still had not come back. And so,

Blair’s life went back to normal; she went to work and got off from work regularly. She was willing to

work over time, but she always wanted to be home by early evening or as soon as possible. She was

constantly thinking that Wesley might come back at any time.

One day, while she was working on her computer, her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and

saw that Miller’s mom was calling. She sighed and answered it immediately.

“Hello, Auntie!”

“Hi, Blair. I need to talk to you. Could we meet at a cafe somewhere?”
