True Love Waits novel Chapter 775

Curtis smiled, "Your wife told my wife about that. She mentioned that you were going to pay the down payment for a sea-view house."

Blair exchanged a glance with Wesley, and nodded. She did tell Colleen about their plan to buy a sea-view house, but she didn't expect them to give her one.

It was an expensive gift.

Blair didn't think that Wesley would accept it. However, after hearing Curtis' explanation, Wesley grabbed the keys and handed them to Blair. "Keep them."

"But..." 'This is just too much. How can I accept it?' Blair thought, baffled.

He patted her hand to reassure her. "They tricked a large fortune out of me when they got married. Damon took one of my precious weapons, which is out of production now. It's more valuable than the car he gave you."

If that was the case, Blair thought it might be okay to accept their gifts. She nodded and took the keys from Wesley.

Next came the CEO. Carlos asked casually, "So, you're not going back to work in Y City?"

"We plan on settling down here, in A Country," Wesley said. He and Blair had discussed it earlier. They wanted to stay by their parents' side and raise their kid here, alongside them.

Carlos nodded understandingly. He took out a folder, put it on the rotary table and gave the table a twirl. When the folder was in front of Blair, he said to Wesley, "Your wife is a translator, isn't she? I have set up a translation company in A Country." He then looked at Blair. "You will be the legal representative. Take it."

Wesley fell silent again, for much longer this time. Everyone looked at him mischievously, waiting for his reaction. Finally, he broke the silence and spoke. "You guys are doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

"Yes." Carlos smirked.

Wesley turned to Blair. "Honey, return all the gifts." He then scanned his friends and added, "I will buy my wife everything she wants. I can afford them. Do you have to make me look bad?"

And they all seemed to know what his wife wanted and liked! He sulked at the thought.

Blair put all the keys and the folder on the table.

Damon teased, "Blair, you're such an obedient wife. But, don't listen to him this time."

Blair shook her head. "To be honest, I think that your gifts are all way too expensive. I agree with Wesley; we should return them to you."

Damon guffawed, "Do you know what your husband gave Carlos on his wedding day?"

Blair nodded. Although she wasn't staying with Wesley at the time, she knew that he had given Carlos a large sum of money as gift. She just didn't know the exact amount.

"USD 6, 660, 000. That's more than enough for you to open a new company. So, you aren't really getting a lot from Carlos. It's a fair exchange of presents." Of course, the company would make more money as it developed. In the long term, Blair would benefit a lot if she ran the company well.

And to Carlos, a few million dollars meant nothing but mere change.

Blair felt more relaxed after hearing Damon's argument.

Wesley silently listened to their conversation. He knew what his friends were thinking. After all, Carlos, Wesley, Damon and Curtis had been friends for many years.

After the three big shots were done, it was time for the other friends to give their presents to the groom and bride. They weren't as rich as Carlos, but their presents were luxurious as well.

With all the presents in her hands, Blair had a feeling that she had become a very rich woman overnight.

She had a new car, a sea-view house, a company... Everything.

When the party was finally over, a few of them were drunk, including Niles.

Wesley wanted to take him back home, but as they walked out of the hotel, Niles suddenly broke free and dashed towards the stone lion at the gate.

Flying his fists towards the stone, Niles snarled at the statue, "I'm Ultraman! And I'm here to save the earth and the humans. Go to hell, you monster!"

Blair, and a few other friends, wanted to stop him, but Wesley held them off. "Don't. Let him have some fun." He smirked as Niles continued to hit the statue. He didn't need to teach his little brother a lesson; the drunken idiot was doing enough damage to himself.

After seeing off his friends and driving Blair back home, Wesley came back to the hotel to pick up Niles. The young doctor was still fighting the stone lion.

He didn't stop flailing his arms crazily until Wesley threw him into the back seat of his car. He finally quieted down and dozed off.

Blair had removed her makeup and was now taking a hot bath to relax herself.
