True Love Waits novel Chapter 730

"Pretty far actually." Niles checked the distance on his phone. The army base was over fifty kilometers away.

Wesley had driven that far every time to see Blair after finishing his work, even though he could see her only in the middle of the night.

Niles hired a car and took Blair to the army base.

The place was heavily guarded. Niles asked her to wait in the car, and went to inquire about Wesley to a sentry at the entrance.

He told the guard that he was Senior Colonel Wesley Li's brother. The soldier sized him up and noticed the resemblance at once. "Senior Colonel Li is not here right now. Why don't you try contacting him personally?"

Niles refrained from rolling his eyes. "I did. But his phone is switched off. That's why I am here."

"I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do to help you. Sorry," the sentry told him. Security was obviously taken very seriously around here.

Niles returned to the car, filled with disappointment. They waited near the camp the whole morning, but didn't see Wesley anywhere near the place.

By noon, Niles was getting hungry. "Wait here, Blair. I'll go buy something to eat," he said.

"Okay,"

she replied.

No sooner had Niles left than some military trucks came from the opposite direction. To avoid drawing any attention, Blair hid behind a tree and observed if Wesley was in any one of those trucks.

Before long, the handsome man got out of the first truck and walked to the sentry whom Niles had spoken to earlier.

All of a sudden, both of them looked her way. Blair's heart leaped into her mouth. 'Crap! The guard must have told Wesley that his brother had come looking for him.'

She had only wanted to see him from afar without disturbing his work.

When Wesley headed towards her, her instinct told her to run.

And Wesley chased after her.

Worried that she might trip and fall, he deliberately slowed down to keep a fair distance between them.

A few soldiers got out of the trucks. One of them patted the soldier beside him and said, "Look! Our chief is running after someone. Is that a girl?"

"Yeah. Who is that?"

"A criminal or spy, maybe?"

"Probably. Chief seems to be losing her. Here, watch my things. I'll get her!"

"Hold your horse. Let's wait a minute." 'There's no way the chief would fail to catch up to a woman. That's crazy!'

But the other soldier was young and impulsive. He was already far gone before his companion could stop him. Two other young men followed him to find out what was going on.

While Wesley was running leisurely behind Blair, a figure cut him off. "Chief, leave it to me. She won't get away," the young soldier assured him with a hidden glee.

Shortly, he caught Blair and grabbed her by the arm. "Run again and I'll throw you over my shoulder."

"I'm not—" Blair realized that he had misunderstood the situation, so she struggled to explain.

"You're defying my orders! Stay still, woman!" The lad was about to throw her over his shoulder when Wesley dashed over. "Stop it!" he shouted. He pulled Blair into his arms and held her tight. Glowering at the young soldier who had been rough with her, he roared, "Do a five-kilometer-run! Now! And you will get another ten rounds if you don't finish it in seventeen minutes!"

The young soldier stared at his empty hands, dumbfounded. The other two soldiers who had followed him heard Wesley yelling.

They exchanged glances, turned around and ran away from there quickly.

"Ch-chief, isn't she a...a criminal?" the young soldier stammered.

"She is my wife!" Wesley bellowed.
