True Love Waits novel Chapter 685

Blair's birthday was on lunar June 6th. Chinese Valentine's Day came a month after.

It had been one month since Wesley's last phone call. Blair kept herself busy at work every day, doing overtime to keep her mind off him.

Life was dull without Wesley.

On the eve of Chinese Valentine's Day, Talbot called her out of the blue.

'Why is Talbot calling me? Did something happen to Wesley?' she wondered anxiously and picked up the phone in a hurry.

"Talbot, what's up?" she asked.

"It's me." Wesley's voice came from the other end.

Blair gave a sigh of relief. "Are you with Talbot?" she asked.

"Yeah. What do you want as your present?"

"Huh?" she asked, confused as to what he was talking about.

"Tomorrow is lunar July 7th," Wesley reminded her. He had heard that this festival meant a lot to women. But apparently, Blair didn't even seem to know that this festival was the next day.

Blair was surprised that Wesley remembered. She smiled. "I'm surprised that you remembered. It isn't like you at all." Wesley had changed a lot.

"Because I'm in love," he replied simply.

Blair blushed, her heart leaping out from her chest. She remained indifferent even though she had been looking forward to Chinese Valentine's Day for the past month. "You don't have to buy me anything."

"Okay."

"Huh?" she blurted in shock.

"I called to wish you. I may not have time to talk to you tomorrow."

"Oh." Blair's face fell when she realized that she would be out of touch with him once again.

"Happy lunar July 7th, Blair!"

"Thank you, Wesley. Same to you," she said with a sincere smile.

"I have to go now. Take care of yourself," Wesley said softly.

"Okay."

And the phone call ended just like that.

By the time Blair got off work the next day, she had gotten neither a call nor any presents from Wesley.

'It's true that I told him he didn't have to buy me a present. But I didn't think he really wasn't going to get me anything, ' she thought sadly.

She looked at the rose bunny and scolded through clenched teeth, imagining the bunny to be him, "Seriously? Nothing? You choose to listen to my words now?

Fine. Don't give me anything. I don't want it anyway. You just wait till I see you next time!"

She gave an irritated snort and then posted an update on Moments. "Ladies, today's a special day. We shouldn't spend it alone. I'm going out to find myself a gigolo. Anybody coming with me?"

Soon, many left comments on her update. Some joked, "Count me in."

"You're right. There's a club in New District. You can go there and have some fun. Those men are cute."

"Blair, you're so cool. Good luck!"

"Blair, aren't you afraid that your husband might see this post?"

"I'll be your gigolo. Come to me."

Blair read all the comments, but none of them were from the person she was looking forward to.

Then it occurred to her that she had blocked Wesley's WeChat account earlier. She had posted that update on purpose to make him jealous, without realizing that he couldn't even see it.

Blair sighed in defeat. She was bored at home and decided to take a walk.

As she was about to leave her apartment complex, she got a call from Talbot.

"Hi Blair," he said.
