True Love Waits novel Chapter 623

Even though Blair was struggling quite a bit, Wesley ignored that resistance and carried her out of the car.

"Humph!" With a gruff mumble, she straightened her clothes and then made her way towards the elevator as soon as he put her down. She didn't even seem to be in a mood to wait for him.

However, she couldn't get rid of him so easily. Wesley caught up to her and grabbed her arm.

"What!" she almost roared, turning around.

"You seem really short-tempered and hold in too many feelings. That's not good for your health. You know what? Let's take the stairs. The exercise is good for venting out some anger." She could be as troublesome as she wanted to be, but he was an expert in taming people.

"No! I'm so not taking the stairs! You take the stairs! Let go of me, you jerk!" No matter how much she despised wasting energy on the stairs, she was taken to them anyway.

'Twenty-one floors! Forty-two flights of stairs! Damn this heartless, cold-blooded, overbearing tyrant!' Her legs started shaking at the very thought. "Wesley, if you really want to climb the stairs, go ahead and knock yourself out; but I don't want to. I'm not a masochist. I want to ride the elevator. Let me go!"

Wesley must have had some plan in his head because he stopped at the bottom of the stairs to give her a chance to soften her tone before starting climbing. "What do you plan to do tomorrow?" he asked again.

"Sleeping!" She was still fuming. 'He is the devil.'

That was it! The anger still hadn't gone away! Holding her arm, Wesley started ascending the stairs. Blair shouted behind him, "Wesley, it serves you right that you've been single for so many years. No wonder not a single girl likes you. You don't deserve one! You don't even know how to treat a girl!"

Wesley turned around and asked her in a simple tone, "Aren't you a girl?"

Caught up in her fury, Blair didn't understand where his question was coming from. She had forgotten that she liked Wesley once upon a time. But still she retorted, "What a stupid question! Of course I am!"

Wesley didn't press further, but he seemed satisfied.

When they reached the third floor, Blair finally realized what he had meant. Panting, she tried to argue with him. "Nuh-uh, nice try! But I told you I was over you. Tomorrow, I'll bring home a boyfriend to prove it to you. And he's going to be much more handsome, taller, stronger, more thoughtful, and more successful than you are. He is going to be perfect!" Even she had no idea what she was saying.

"Okay," Wesley nodded calmly. To be honest, he would be really happy for her if she could find someone like that; if such a someone existed at all!

When they reached the sixth floor, Blair felt like she couldn't breathe anymore, but she still couldn't convince Wesley to let her go. And the fact that she had trouble breathing did not help her cause in any way since she could not speak.

'Boo...hoo... this evil man. How can he torture me like this?' she thought sadly. The fury was slowly turning into sadness now.

She let out a low sob, trying to hold back her tears. Wesley turned around and saw that her eyes were red. "What do you plan to do tomorrow?" he asked once again.

Blair finally lost it all and yelled, "Wesley Li, if you keep forcing me to climb the stairs, I am not even going to go to paradise with you, even if you beg me!"

Wesley ignored the roar and turned around to continue climbing.

Four more floors up, when Blair felt like she was going to fall down, his phone vibrated. Blair heard it too.

"Hi, Mom," he greeted Cecelia in his usual two-word sentence.

"Wes, I hear that you're off-duty tomorrow. Is that right?" Cecelia's voice was loud enough to reach Blair's ears.

"Yes," Wesley answered. But before the matter could continue further, Blair's eyes gleamed!

'It's Cecelia! I'm saved, ' she thought. After taking a deep breath, she climbed up the three steps between them to quickly snatch his phone. Even though he wouldn't give it to her, Blair managed to get her voice through by shouting out loud, "Aunt Cecelia, help me! Your son is being cruel to me!"

Wesley was speechless. He had no idea Blair was going to play this card!

Cecelia's eyes lit up when she heard Blair's voice, even though her sentence wasn't clear. "Son, is that Blair? Are you with her? Put her on the phone. I want to speak to her. Hurry now."

Wesley had no choice now. He had to hand his cell over to Blair, who was gloating in glee now.
