True Love Waits novel Chapter 706

"I want to be alone with you. Dismiss your men, or we're done here," Patty said. There were two cops behind Wesley.

Thinking that Patty wouldn't be able to cause any problems he couldn't handle, he conceded.

When it was just the two of them in the cell, Patty said, "You know what I want. Sleep with me, and I'll give you all the dirt on my grandpa."

Wesley looked at her and said nothing. Another woman tried to pull this on him. Back then, he was happy about it. Not until now did he understand why. He fell for Blair a long time ago.

Only, he didn't know it then.

But hearing what Patty said, he was disgusted. His fingers tapping on the table, he replied coldly, "Don't want to talk? No problem. I have a lot of ways to make you talk. Some of them can be quite...persuasive."

Patty smiled bitterly. The room was silent for a bit. She still refused to confess. "Give up smoking?" she asked after a while.

"Yeah, I quit. I'm planning on having a baby," he said patiently. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to end her little game. Wesley didn't seem eager to leave, either.

"With her?"

"Yeah, she's my wife."

That hurt Patty deeply. "What do you see in her, anyway? She's just another pretty face. What does she have that I don't?"

'What do I see in Blair?' Wesley started thinking.

He had fallen for her in so many ways from their first meeting.

She was beautiful. But the point was, she was lovely, inside and out.

He still remembered how she introduced herself all those years ago. She had just moved into the apartment across from his. She didn't seem overly vain. Her face might get dirty, and she wouldn't even know.

When she did realize it, she looked into the wall of the elevator and tried to get the smear off her face, but she only made it worse.

There were times when she was afraid, but she stubbornly pretended to be strong and fearless.

Like that time in the library. He remembered how pale she was. That was fear. But she kept her cool and distracted the thug long enough for Wesley's team to take him out.

That year, when she had just moved in, she got sick a lot. Wesley got worried every time he saw her under the weather.

It was like he felt her every pain and discomfort. Everything about her was vivid in his memory.

She wasn't the first to flirt with him, but the fact that she stirred things deep inside him was a first.

Sometimes he even liked it. Around him, she could do no wrong.

Wesley didn't answer Patty's question. He looked at her with a stony face, waiting for her to get to the point.

But Patty wasn't bored with her game yet. The silent treatment? Two could play at that game.

The room was quiet until his phone buzzed.

He fished it from his pocket. When he saw the name on the screen, a smile flashed across his stern face. "I'm here," he said as he took the call.

Blair was surprised. She tightened her grip on the phone.

'I'm here? He usually says "Hello?" "Hi," or "It's me." Why the change?'
