True Love Waits novel Chapter 718

Niles couldn't believe what Wesley had just asked him. "Hello? I have to work too, you know. I'll be late if I send her off first," he protested.

"Figure it out yourself," the elder brother nonchalantly replied.

"Fine. All right." Niles had no other choice but to comply with Wesley's demand.

"Second, you have to update me with how she is, every day."

"But I'm not a spy," Niles retorted. But he knew Wesley wouldn't take no for an answer. "Okay, fine. I'll update you every day," he replied in defeat.

"That's all I'm asking you. Promise me you won't forget."

"Yeah, yeah. Those are just two things. I won't forget," Niles promised. "Hey, Wesley, you have red marks on your neck. What's wrong?" Niles' eyes widened in surprise.

Wesley cast a warning glance at him. His eyes were sharp and fierce. Before leaving the office, he gave Niles a few reminders. "Her work starts at 8 in the morning. Her shift ends at 6 in the afternoon. Keep that in mind, yeah?"

"Don't change the topic. What is wrong with your neck? Were you bitten by mosquitoes?" Niles knew well enough they were love bites. He rarely got the chance to make fun of the soldier and he was not letting this chance pass. He knew his brother was never a good liar.

Wesley stopped in his tracks and turned around to face his younger brother. "So, I had a romantic night with my wife. What's wrong with that? Are you jealous? Go find a girlfriend so you could do the same," he said matter-of-factly.

"Okay, get out. Now! Our conversation is over," Niles spat. 'Now I'm questioning the reason he came back. It might not be because of Blair's leg injury. I think he just wanted to have sex with her, ' he thought.

'It looks like they're in a good place right now. Soon enough, I'll be an uncle. I really hope it's a boy so he could give Wesley a living hell.'

Blair was used to being away from Wesley most of the time. She woke up the next morning knowing he was gone before she even opened her eyes.

After she ate her breakfast, she went to snoop around their place hoping to find her morning-after pills. That was when she remembered Wesley's warning from last night. "If you take the pills again, I'll keep you from getting out of our house. You won't be getting out until we get a baby."

Blair was frozen in her tracks. She stopped looking for the pills. She knew Wesley was not bluffing. She didn't want to get grounded. It was more terrifying than when she was younger.

Suddenly, her phone started to ring. It was a call from Niles. "Good morning, Niles. What's up?"

"G'morning, Blair. I've been waiting for you for more than ten minutes now. Can you come downstairs now? Are you done? You'll be late for work if we don't leave now." Wesley told Niles he could only wait for Blair downstairs. He would wait for Blair to come downstairs in the morning, and in the evening, he'd have to wait downstairs as well until the lights in their apartment were turned on.

"Huh? Why are you waiting for me?" Blair was confused. Wesley didn't tell her about their new daily setup.

"It's because of your dear husband. He said you got an injured leg and that you wouldn't be able to drive. Now that he'd left, I'll be driving you to work. I'll also be picking you up after work," he explained.

She was deeply moved. Wesley may have left, but he still made sure she was taken care of. He must really care for her to ask Niles to help her. "Okay, I'm heading down now."

"Can you walk on your own? How about I go up and carry you down?" Niles offered.

"I'm okay. I'll be taking the elevator."

"Okay then." Niles didn't want to go upstairs after all. He only offered to carry her as courtesy. Although, it wasn't the case that he did not want to carry Blair. He was just worried his brother would find out he went up. Then he'd be in so much trouble.

Two days passed and Blair noticed her leg was so much better. She didn't want to bother Niles anymore, so she asked him not to drive her to work or pick her up after work anymore.

"Well, you still need to visit the hospital tomorrow. You need to have your dressing freshened up. If the wound has healed, you can go to work on your own."

"Thank you so much, Niles. You've been a great help these past few days."

"No worries, Blair. You can count on me whenever Wesley is not around. I'm his brother, after all."

Blair looked out the car window, her heart full. She would always remember what Wesley had done for her.

Time passed by quickly, and it had already been a month since Wesley left.

Blair's leg had long healed. She had been quite busy recently.

There was a party in the evening. She intended to skip the party the moment it was announced. She was really tired and was looking forward to getting some rest after work. She was too drained to socialize and enjoy the party.

Orion, however, came to her in person and told her it was necessary she attended the party. A bunch of influential and powerful people would be there. It would be a great chance for Blair to widen her network and gain new connections.
