True Love Waits novel Chapter 647

Before Blair could answer Cecelia's question, Wesley popped in without warning.

The two women were both surprised.

Cecelia rolled her eyes at him. "Are you spying on us? Women only!"

Wesley glanced at the door. "You didn't close your door. I was just passing by."

"Humph! Just get out," the angry mother snorted and glared at him.

He didn't move. Instead, he looked at the two women standing hand-in-hand, and told his mother, "You don't need to be so nice to her. She won't be your daughter-in-law."

His words pained Blair's heart.

Cecelia was shocked. She didn't expect her son to speak so bluntly in front of Blair, not worrying about sparing her feelings. Irked by her stupid son, the mother ranted, "Who said anything about that? Niles likes Blair. I like Blair. I can spoil anyone I like. Why do I need your permission, huh?"

"Whatever." With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Cecelia knew how Blair felt about Wesley, so she tried to comfort the heartbroken girl. "He's an idiot when it comes to love. He doesn't understand his heart yet. Trust me. I know he has feelings for you. Just give him time."

Blair flashed a self-mocking smile. "Time? How long do I need to wait? Aunt Cecelia, I've been into him since I was a university student. He's had a few years."

"And maybe he needs a little more time. Don't be sad, Blair. I have your back."

Blair nodded, "I know. Thank you, Aunt Cecelia." After a pause, she added, "But you don't know Wesley. He never liked me. I know you want him to, but it wasn't meant to be. Know what? He told me that he was nice to me because you liked me. He wanted to make you happy."

She had almost believed that Wesley was a mama's boy who would do anything his mom told him to.

Unconvinced, Cecelia pursed her lips. "Make me happy? He always pisses me off. He couldn't admit his true feelings for you and found a bullshit excuse."

Blair smiled bitterly without uttering a word. The kind mother's comforting words couldn't chase away the sadness in her heart.

Hearing no response from the girl, Cecelia advised worriedly, "Trust me. It's not to make me happy. Don't believe me? Try this: Say he liked a girl, and I didn't. If he liked her, and I wouldn't allow them to marry, ask him what he'd do. If he says he wouldn't marry her, or he'd listen to me, or he'd think it over, then you know it's bull. He'll do whatever he wants to do. He always has."

Blair was lost for words after hearing her advice.

At lunchtime, she thought so much about what Cecelia said that she just nibbled at her lunch. Garnet was seated right next to Wesley. It was Lauren who made the seating arrangements. And Blair sat beside Niles.

Blair wasn't happy with it. But she could say nothing since Wesley didn't seem to care who sat next to him. So she just lowered her head and focused on her food.

There was a lot of laughter, affection, and teasing. The usual. Everyone seemed fairly happy. After lunch, the Jiang family took off.

When they saw off the Jiang family at the gate, Blair happened to make eye contact with Garnet. Both of them looked away at once. Blair noticed the thoughtful look in Garnet's eyes.

Nonetheless, her mind was still occupied by Cecelia's advice. When she and Wesley were finally alone, she sprang the question on him. "Let me ask you something." She caught up to the man who was headed upstairs.

Wesley stopped in his tracks. "What?"

"What if...and I mean IF...you like a girl and want to marry her, but your mom doesn't agree, what would you do?"
