True Love Waits novel Chapter 580

Keith hung up as he mumbled those words. Cecelia put the receiver down too.

She stared blankly at the half-eaten apple. Baldwin was at work. Bored, she decided to find herself some company.

Then, she had a flash of inspiration. She wasted no time in booking a flight to Y City. It had been too long, and she wanted to see her boys.

Now that Niles had a "girlfriend," as the future "mother-in-law," Cecelia wanted to make sure they were a happy couple. Indeed, she thought it was her duty. So she was going to head over there to do all the motherly things that she was supposed to do.

Blair was kind of embarrassed, taking over Niles' apartment. It was his space, after all. She pondered whether she should move into the accommodations her company provided.

Her company was generous. She was paid just over $10, 000 a month, and benefits included a living space and meals. The company also provided unemployment, sick leave, and even a housing fund in case the company apartment wasn't to their liking.

She wanted to let Wesley know before she moved out, but for some reason, she couldn't reach him. Wesley had to come there sometime, so Blair decided to wait until he did.

However, before she saw Wesley, she had an unexpected guest.

That day, she came home late. She didn't have to worry about coming home to anyone, so she had opted for two hours of overtime. When she opened the door, the lights were on.

Someone sat leisurely on the couch in the living room. Blair was surprised to see who it was. "Aunt Cecelia?"

Cecelia was happy to hear her voice. She stood up and said, "Hey, you're back. Did you just get off work? You work too hard. Come and eat. Dinner's ready."

Cecelia never cooked. Instead, she found a chef to prepare the meal.

Blair followed her into the dining room to find that it was a big dinner, with several courses.

Her stomach was already growling, so the smell almost made her drool. "When did you get here?" she asked Cecelia, trying to hold in her saliva. "Did you cook all this? Just for the two of us?"

"I got here this afternoon. And you know me—I don't cook. There seems to be too much food, so I invited Wesley over. He has a healthy appetite. Niles is out of town, so there will just be three of us."

To Cecelia, Blair was now like a daughter-in-law. She escorted Blair to a chair and had her sit down. "Wesley is too uptight, but his bark is worse than his bite. Just ignore him. We do," she prattled on.

"Oh, okay," Blair replied with a nod. Cecelia's enthusiasm made her feel a little flustered.

On the other hand, deep down, the tiniest part of her longed for the day that Wesley would notice her and decide she was the one for him; there was still a chance they could be together. So she thought that she should build a good relationship with Cecelia.

Remembering neither of them had washed their hands, Cecelia followed her to the bathroom so they could do just that.

When they got back to the table, Cecelia busied herself with ladling soup for herself and Blair. Blair took the bowl from her and said, "Wesley isn't here yet. Should we wait?"

"Nah. He won't care. Let's eat. There will be plenty left for him. He can heat it up when he gets back."

Blair couldn't believe her ears. 'Do they always treat him like this?'

Cecelia noticed the stunned look on her face. She reflected on what she had said and then explained, "He's been in the army for a long time. He's not picky. We can leave a portion of each dish for him."
