Chapter 1750

He added, “If he hadn’t gotten overexcited, I would have been able to save him more easily. But the

boy was careless.” Before he left, he saw the boy’s mother rush back home. He found out that mom

snuck out to play mahjong while the boy was asleep. She was so engrossed in the games that she

forgot about the time. A small mistake can lead to disaster. The mother learned a good Lesson today.

Blair felt her heart still pounding.

“Is this what you usually do?”

“No. It’s not what we do. In fact, it’s not even our duty. We’re supposed to leave this to emergency

teams.” He just happened to come across this. He knew very well the boy would be in more danger if

they just waited for the rescue team to come. His sense of responsibility drove him to take action at

once.

Blair sighed inwardly. She knew his job as a soldier was much more dangerous than this.

She felt sorry for fighting with him earlier that night.

After they returned to the apartment, Wesley sat down and started texting someone.

“Take your clothes off,” Blair requested.

He raised his head to look at her, confused.

“Why?”

She grabbed the coat from his hand and said naturally, “They’re dirty.

I’ll throw a load in the wash.”

“No, thanks. I’ll take care of my laundry myself.” He turned down her offer, not wanting to bother her

with such minor details.

Blair glared at Wesley.

“It’s not like I’m washing it by hand. The washing machine will do it. You’re impossible! Just give me

your clothes!”

Being harangued by someone else for the first time, Wesley wanted to retort but her angry look zipped

his mouth. He turned around and walked to his bedroom.

As he opened the door, he paused.

“Let me get a shower first.” He meant to say that he would shower first and bring his dirty clothes to her

afterwards.

Blair nodded.

Wesley walked inside the bathroom, and turned on the shower. Steam floated from the water, settling

on the mirror and fogging it up.

After a moment, when Blair heard nothing from his bedroom, she pushed open the door and found his

dirty clothes in the hamper. She removed them and Left quickly.

Despite the sounds of the shower, Wesley could hear Blair futzing around outside the bathroom. He

finished rinsing the soap off and cut the water. The stream terminated quickly, leaving a dripping

Wesley behind in the tub.

When he came out, he found that his dirty clothes in the hamper were really gone. He put on his

pajamas and walked out of his bedroom. The washing machine was going, and it was already on the

second cycle.

He was going to knock on Blair’s bedroom door but then he heard noise from the kitchen.

Blair was making noodles. Hearing him come in, she turned and told the man, “Wait a minute. Almost

done.”
