True Love Waits novel Chapter 689

Blair was immediately frozen in her tracks when she heard the newbie's outraged cry. The group of soldiers, including Wesley, also stopped running after her. Everyone was looking at her.

Blair turned to look at the newbie. "Is that so? Tell that to your chief. Stop him from following me anymore," she said coldly. "I don't know him!" she added.

"What? You don't know who our chief is? How ignorant you are!" the newbie snapped.

"Shut up!" Wesley ordered him sternly.

The newbie instantly fell quiet. Despite his obedience, he was still confused at how their chief acted towards this woman.

Right then, a soldier from the group recognized who Blair was. "Oh! I remember her! No wonder she looks so familiar. I've met her before."

"Where did you meet her? Who is she?" another soldier asked eagerly.

"I saw her in our chief's phone screen!" His voice trailed off when he saw Wesley icily glaring at him.

Blair's face turned red. She wondered why Wesley had her picture in his phone. Had he set her picture as his phone's lock screen?

Wesley gave everyone a sharp look and commanded, "All of you, go back. Do extra training, now!" He turned his gaze on the newbie. "You, no outdoor activities until next week!"

The group was out of their sight in just a few seconds.

Blair and Wesley were left alone in the quiet road. He grabbed her hand and said, "I'll escort you back to the hotel."

"No need, Colonel Li. Don't mind me. Take your time to enjoy the full-body massage. I don't want to interfere with your relaxation. Goodbye!" Both anger and sadness filled her heart as the thought of another woman in Wesley's arms in the night club flooded her mind.

Wesley kept his grip on Blair's hand. "It's not what it looks like. I can't explain everything to you right now, but please, trust me. Nothing happened between us."

"Nothing happened?" Blair looked him in the eye. "I saw with my very own eyes how tightly you hugged her. Did you also promise to take care of her and protect her until she finds a boyfriend? Just like you did to me?"

Her eyes were brimming with tears. The mere thought of it made her heart ache.

Wesley wanted to say something to assure her, but the device on his waist had already gone off three times. He had no more time left. He had to go.

He looked tenderly at Blair's eyes. "I have to go. Please don't overthink. I have never cheated on you. I never will," he said hastily. "Finish your business sooner and head back home. D City is not as safe as Y City." He stroked her hair and added, "Be good, okay?"

Blair did not say anything.

He was running out of time. He gave her a peck on the lips. "Take care. Just pretend you don't know me when you see me again," he said.

He turned around and left.

Blair wandered around the streets of D City, alone and sick at heart.

Her anger subsided and she began regretting her behavior. She rarely spent her days with Wesley. She had the greatest luck to have bumped into him, but she wasted it. Why did she quarrel with him?

She could have just trusted him more. He stayed here in D City for a dangerous and confidential mission. Had he been eating every day? What kind of place was he staying at? Did he pack enough clothes?

She grew sadder by the minute. She wanted to buy him groceries and other stuff, but she was not sure if she'd be given a chance like earlier.

She called Talbot, but it didn't go through.

The next few days, she headed to the same place she saw him. With her were the grocery items she bought for Wesley. To her dismay, she did not see him nor any of his men.

At night, she waited for him in front of the night club where she saw him, but no trace of Wesley was found.
