True Love Waits novel Chapter 543

Blair clenched her fists and lifted them in front of Wesley, threatening to punch him in the face. But instead of moving a muscle to defend himself, he stood rooted to the spot and smirked.

Blair felt humiliated about being looked down upon by the man she loved.

She knew nothing about martial arts. But at that moment, she wished she did. If she were as skilled as he was, she would have surely taught him a lesson. She would have beaten him to the ground and made him beg her for mercy.

"Whether you love me or not, that's your choice. You're free to decide. I admit that I do love you, but I won't let you humiliate me like that!" Blair said angrily.

Wesley had figured out her feelings for him long ago. But this was the first time he had heard her say blatantly that she loved him. He looked at her, a complicated look in his eyes. "I don't need anyone's love," he declared coldly.

He couldn't promise any woman a bright future. That was the kind of life he led. So, he didn't want to love anyone, nor did he need anyone's love.

Blair seethed in anger. She was hurt once again by his sharp words.

"Oh really? Then please, do come back to your apartment more often and stop trying to avoid me by taking the stairs. You know my physical strength is no match to yours. I can't take the stupid stairs! So, take the damn elevator with me! And mark my words, I'll make you fall in love with me one day. You'll have to take back your words when that moment comes."

Wesley didn't care about her provocation. He said, "Don't bother. I won't fall in love with a woman who can't even take the stairs with me."

Blair breathed heavily, unable to utter another word. Tears threatened to fall from her reddened eyes.

When Talbot ran back to them gasping for air, he saw Blair trying to kick Wesley in his shins.

He was taken aback by shock and surprise. 'What the hell is she doing? That's Wesley, the military hero! Why is she trying to kick him? Is she nuts?' Of course, Blair failed to make contact with his body. Wesley easily sidestepped her attack and she only managed to kick the air.

Frustrated, Blair felt like she was about to explode. Tears began to stream down her cheeks. "Why do you bully me like this every time?" she protested.

Ignoring her question, Wesley walked up to Talbot and took the ointment from his hand. He extended the ointment to Blair and said in the same cold tone, "Stop crying. Apply the ointment to your arm."

Ignoring his words, she walked past him and to Talbot. She pulled out her phone and asked with a slight sob, "I'll add your WeChat account and return you the money."

In a daze, Talbot took out his phone and opened the WeChat app. "I'll send you a friend request."

Wesley silently watched them add each other's WeChat account. Talbot asked Blair, "Your account name is 'Bless?'"

Blair replied in a low voice, "Yeah. Joslyn, my best friend, always calls me 'Bless, ' so I use that name."

After adding each other's account, she said, "Thank you for buying me the ointment. How much was it? I'll pay you via WeChat."

Talbot shook his head. "No need."

"I need to. Otherwise, I won't use that ointment," Blair insisted.

Talbot shifted his gaze to Wesley, expecting a reply from his leader. But Wesley said nothing, still maintaining his expressionless face. Left with no choice, Talbot said, "Fifteen dollars."

Blair nodded and began to walk away as she typed the password on her WeChat Pay. Talbot called out to stop her. "Blair, you haven't taken your ointment."

After transferring the money, Blair turned around and told him sarcastically, "Your great leader has touched it with his holy hands, so I don't deserve to use it anymore. I'll buy another one myself."

But she still thanked Talbot. She decided to buy him a drink next time.
