True Love Waits

Chapter 572 Back To Normal

"Actually, I am perfect," Blair answered.

At this, Niles pretended to sneeze. It sounded suspiciously like "bullshit," however. Adalson cast a warning glance in his direction.

Wesley took his seat. Blair acted as if he weren't even there and continued talking with Niles.

The dinner didn't last long, as the party included two old men and they needed to go to bed early.

After the two families bade each other farewell, Blair got into the back seat of Adalson's car. Natalia, who sat in the passenger seat, turned to look at Blair and said, "Your fiance is a nice guy. I met him once randomly, and he did me a favor. In my opinion, a woman should find an ordinary husband and live a happy life."

Adalson cast a casual glance at his wife and asked, "What? Are you not living a happy life?"

Natalia snorted and said, "Now, sure. But before...you don't know what it was like. Blair, believe me. Never marry a man like Wesley Li. I'm not saying that he's a bad guy. He's not. But imagine worrying about him when he's gone, and wondering if the next knock on the door would be his commanding officer notifying you he died a hero's death. If="

"Natalia!" Adalson cut her off helplessly.

Natalia rolled her eyes at her husband. "What? I'm serious. Keith was trying to fix Blair up with Wesley this evening." Natalia then looked at Blair and continued, "Niles is probably your best choice here. He is the life of the party. Cheerful, attentive. He'll make you laugh every day. Wesley is clueless when it comes to matters of love. He hasn't got a romantic bone in his body. He's 100% devoted to the military. Marry him and you'll be sorry."

"But Wesley makes me feel safe and protected," Blair suddenly said.

'It seems that it's too late to warn her, ' Natalia thought.

When they passed the Hillside Apartments, Adalson parked the car near the entrance. "Remember your old apartment, Blair? Well, I left a contract there. Can you grab it for me? It's in the second drawer under the TV set."

"Didn't you terminate the lease?" Blair asked in confusion.
