True Love Waits novel Chapter 589

Keith was stunned for a moment when he heard Niles promise so quickly.

He was suspicious. Although the Li family always kicked him around, Niles was actually a very cunning guy. The boy's voice sounded a little sad, but Keith could see right through him. He didn't sound sad enough. Nonetheless, he replied, "Well, I'm glad you like your brother so much."

Niles had an idea. After a pause, he said, "I'm still sad, Grandpa. Could you try and be more upbeat? Okay, never mind. You're not good at that. So if I give up Blair, what's in it for me?"

It seemed that the young man had figured out exactly what he wanted. "What do you want?" Keith asked outright.

"How about a new apartment? I'll feel much better," Niles suggested. He could make a fortune by conning his grandpa.

"A new apartment? Why? Didn't your mom buy you one already?"

"Yeah, but Blair is living there now. Since I've decided to back off and let Wesley have Blair, I can't live with her. That's not appropriate. She has no parents. I'm not going to kick her out, either," Niles said, pretending to be virtuous and upstanding.

"Okay! Deal!" the old man announced. The poor grandfather was completely taken in by his grandson. Eventually, he would find out Blair had always loved Wesley, and that Niles had never dated her.

After hanging up the phone, Niles felt like he was on cloud nine. His gloomy mood, caused by Cecelia's tongue-lashing, vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, in the Shining International Plaza, Cecelia, Wesley and Blair moved on to a new store. Now they were shopping for shoes. They had no idea that Niles lied to the old man. Sitting on the sofa, Blair tugged at the hem of Wesley's shirt and said, "Don't let your mom buy anything for me again. I'm not dating you or Niles. Tell her. Don't spend money on me."

Wesley replied indifferently, "She's rich."

Blair was speechless. That was not the point.

Cecelia asked a saleslady to show a pair of shoes to Blair. "Blair, try these on. They look good."

Blair didn't budge. "Aunt Cecelia, I've tried on three pairs. I think it's your turn."

"That's not for women my age. It's for young girls. Besides, the pink matches the last outfit you tried on."

Blair found it hard to resist Cecelia's enthusiasm.

She looked at Wesley, signaling to him for help. He sat next to her and echoed his mother's words. "Mom's right. They look nice. Try them on."

Blair sighed helplessly.

Finally, they picked out three pairs and Wesley paid for them again. Looking at the guy carrying the shopping bags, Blair quickly caught up to him. "Wesley, lend me a hand, okay?"

"Sorry, I never knew how to handle her," he refused bluntly.

Irked by him, she said between gritted teeth, "You jerk! You just stand by and watch me sink lower and lower."

"Quit exaggerating. But whatever, I don't care what you think."

Blair closed her eyes to hopefully calm down and hold back her anger. "Okay, okay. Then hand me a card. I want to buy your mom a gift. I'll pay you back when I get a new phone."

Wesley lifted his hands to show her the shopping bags. "My wallet is in my pocket. Grab it yourself. My hands are full."
