True Love Waits novel Chapter 557

The girl was Megan.

When she saw Blair and Wesley walk out of the elevator together, she was taken aback at first, and then she squeezed out some tears and ran into Wesley's arms, weeping.

Wesley was concerned. "What's the matter?" he asked tenderly.

"I think someone is still stalking me."

Wesley turned towards the other side of the hallway. Seeing what he was doing, Blair turned her head too. Two bodyguards stood there. Noticing Wesley was staring at them, one of them walked over. "They were gangsters, Mr. Li. They followed us all the way here. Mr. Huo is still out of the country."

While they were talking, Blair placed her finger on the fingerprint scanner. With a beep, the door was unlocked, and she pushed it open and walked in sullenly.

When she closed the door, she could still hear Wesley discussing the stalkers in the hallway.

She turned the lights on, changed into slippers, and walked into the kitchen.

It was only when she opened the fridge that it occurred to her that she had forgotten to go to the grocery store. The fridge itself was pretty bare. There were only a few tomatoes sitting in there. She checked the cabinet and could only find two packages of instant noodles.

It seemed instant noodles would be the only thing on the menu tonight.

She tossed a packet of instant noodles onto the top of the counter and walked into the bedroom to get changed.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Who could that be?

It couldn't be Wesley. He was comforting his sad, terrified niece.

Blair peeked through the cat's eye and saw Wesley standing outside, looking a little impatient. She opened the door quickly and asked, "What can I do for you, Mr. Li?"

Wesley always got to the point. "I have stuff in my fridge. You're a better cook than I am, so why not come over and cook? We can eat together."

'We?' "By 'we, ' do you mean you and me or the three of us?" asked Blair. That was an important distinction. She wanted to get Wesley alone.

"The three of us." Megan hadn't eaten either. Wesley intended to give her a lift home after dinner.

"Oh. It's no fun being the third wheel, so I'll have to say no. Bye." With that, she shut the door in his face.

Staring at the closed door, Wesley felt frustration rising in him. But he didn't give up. A moment later, he rang the doorbell again.

Leaning against the door, Blair listened to the doorbell ring. She counted to herself, 'One, two, three, four, five.' Then she opened the door again. "Hi. Forget something, Mr. Li?"

"You wouldn't be a third wheel. Her name is Megan Lan. She's not my girlfriend," Wesley explained.

Blair smiled. 'Not bad. He's coming along nicely. At least he's trying to let me know what's going on.' Then she asked, "How do you know her?"

Wesley was starting to lose patience. He looked at her and asked her point-blank, "Are you coming or not?"

Blair had to say, "Yes." 'Wesley, you son of a bitch.'

Blair followed Wesley into his apartment. Where was Megan? She didn't see the girl anywhere. When she heard the door close, Megan trotted out from a bedroom. "Hi, nice to see you," she greeted Blair.

"Nice to see you too," Blair nodded with a smile. Then she grabbed the ingredients from the fridge and walked towards the kitchen.

"Thank you for dinner," Megan said to her politely.

Blair felt the girl was very cordial. She turned around and gave Megan a smile.

Wesley had bought a ton of groceries. Blair looked inside the bag and got an idea what to cook. She started to wash and trim the vegetables.
