True Love Waits novel Chapter 724

"Got it," Blair replied.

Cecelia and Baldwin got back in the car. But Cecelia was still worried. She rolled down the window and said, "Blair, remember what I told you. If you ever get tired of staying in Y City, quit your job and come here. This is Wesley's hometown. He will return here anyway."

Blair teared up a little at her concern. "Okay," she replied with a nod.

The car engine roared to life. She finally mustered up enough courage and said as she waved her hand to Wesley's parents, "See you later, Mom, Dad."

Cecelia gasped when she heard Blair call her "Mom." She was so excited that she wanted to wrap her arms around the girl and hug her tight, but Blair was too shy to stand there for a second longer. She turned around quickly and walked into the departure lounge.

That evening, Wesley got a call from Cecelia. She exclaimed, "Wesley! Blair called me 'Mom' today! She is truly a part of our family now. Cherish her. Call her whenever you can, so that she knows that you really care about her."

A smile crept over Wesley's face. "I will," he said.

"All right then. Take care of yourself." Cecelia knew that Wesley would be fine. But to a mother, her son would always be a child, no matter how old he gets. She couldn't help worrying.

"I will, Mom. You too."

On the 72nd day after Wesley had left, Niles called Blair. "Hi, Niles," she said into the phone.

"Blair, some of my coworkers and I are going on a trip. Do you want to join us?"

'A trip?' It sounded nice, but she was worried that she wouldn't fit in with his crowd. "I think I'll pass. I don't know your coworkers. I'll feel completely out of place."

"You know me. I'll keep you company. My mentor is the organizer of this trip. She has made an exception for you this time."

"Thank you, Niles, but I'm really busy—"

"We're going to the border."

"What did you say?" Blair's heart skipped a beat.

"We're going to the border," Niles repeated. That was why he insisted that she go with them.

And now, Blair couldn't wait to go. "When's the trip?" she asked without bothering to conceal her happiness.

"Next week. But, there are no direct flights to the border. We'll have to take the train. The journey will take more than twenty hours."

'More than twenty hours on the train? That sounds horribly tiring.' But her eagerness to see Wesley triumphed everything else. "No problem," she said firmly.

"Good! It's decided then. Bring some thick clothes, because we're going to higher altitudes and the temperature will drop dramatically between day and night." Niles thought that he was being a really good brother. He was working so hard for his brother's happiness. He decided to ask Wesley for a reward when they got to the border.

"Got it. Thank you," Blair replied. She was grateful for what Niles was doing for her and Wesley.

On the day of the trip, Blair met up with Niles' colleagues. There were more than ten of them. As soon as they gathered, Niles introduced a woman to her. "Blair, this is my mentor, Ingrid Chu. Ingrid, this is my sister-in-law, Blair Jing."

Blair sized up the woman in front of her. Ingrid Chu looked Blair's age. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she was wearing a casual lilac outfit. Blair reached out her hand and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Ingrid."

At that moment, she couldn't have imagined in her worst nightmares that many years down the line, this elegant woman would fall victim to a false charge and die without being vindicated.

Nor did she know that their sons would end up becoming good friends.
