True Love Waits novel Chapter 582

"Okay, Aunt Cecelia," Blair readily agreed.

The dishes had all turned tasteless to Wesley. The meal was beginning to feel more like a torture to him than sustenance.

As soon as he was done, he went towards the kitchen to do the dishes, while Blair and Cecelia stayed in the living room chatting. After he had dried his hands, he walked out onto the balcony for a cigarette. This whole thing about Niles and Blair was bugging him so much. He leaned against the balcony railing, with the smoke swirling around him. Laughter was coming from the living room. He turned around to look at the two women. Cecelia had Blair's hand between hers. Wesley decided to give his brother a call.

"Brother, did you enjoy the meal?" Niles greeted him as cheerfully as ever.

Wesley frowned and then responded with a question of his own. "Do you know that she is pregnant?"

"Who is pregnant?" Niles was perplexed.

'So he doesn't know, ' Wesley thought. "You are such an idiot!" he reprimanded.

Niles was unable to make head or tail of this insult and anger. 'Where is this coming from? What did I do wrong?'

He wanted to ask more, but Wesley had already hung up by the time he could recollect his wits. He called back; Wesley didn't answer. Neither did he reply to Niles' WeChat messages.

Niles was pissed, but he could only try to comfort himself.

When the cigarette burned out, Wesley returned to the living room. "Mom, I need to get going," he told Cecelia. He didn't feel like staying anyway.

"Okay. Drive safe. Blair and I will sleep late tomorrow morning, so you don't have to come and pick us up too early," Cecelia told him. Wesley got up before 5 a.m. every morning, even on rainy days. Cecelia was afraid that he would come get them at six.

"No problem." Wesley walked towards the door to change into his shoes.

The moment he opened the door and stepped out, Blair said to Cecelia hastily, "Aunt Cecelia, I just remembered that there isn't an extra set of toiletries in here. I'll go out and buy some for you."

"I am coming with you."

"There's no need for that. The supermarket is a bit far. You just stay here and rest." Blair put on her shoes quickly.

"Then let Wesley take you there. Wesley, wait for Blair."

Wesley stopped in his tracks and turned towards the woman, deciding that he could use this opportunity to ask her a few things that had been nagging him for so long.

They walked into the elevator together. Blair was thinking about how to break the news to him that she was moving out. But Wesley spoke first. "Does Niles know that you are pregnant?"

Blair was burning up. She blinked while clenching her fists. "No, he doesn't." 'Even I myself don't know that I'm pregnant. And I know I am not!'

Wesley stared at her glumly. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"Wesley, how did you find out?" Blair was fighting the urge to punch him hard.

"Someone told me."

'Someone told him? That is just ridiculous. When even I don't know that, who does?' "Who told you? Megan? That so-called niece or sister of yours? Whatever it is." 'It must be Megan!' Blair thought angrily.

'Sister?' Wesley was surprised to hear that. But in any case, he sometimes did see Megan as his little sister, so he didn't bother to explain. "It doesn't matter who told me."

Leaning on the wall of the elevator, Blair watched the floor indicator change. When the elevator had finally descended to the first floor, she said in a weird tone, "First pal then sister; a lover sooner or later. It seems Megan is about to become your lover."

With that, she was getting out of the elevator. Wesley suddenly grabbed her hand and pushed her into a corner. "Lover? Megan has always called me 'Uncle.' You, on the other hand, were sort of my friend at first. Then you called me 'Brother' at the dining table just now. Going by your own logic, does that mean you are about to become my lover? Is that what you are trying to tell me?"
