True Love Waits

Chapter 723 As Long As She Is Happy

Blair didn't have the words to respond to Wesley.

She sighed inwardly, 'Wesley can be so stubborn sometimes! Has he even considered my feelings?

I have enough money. I sold the diamond ring and bracelet he gave me. Besides, I have a job that pays me well enough. I may not earn a lot, but I can support myself. I don't need him to support me at all!' If she had known things would turn out like this, she wouldn't have returned the Perfecting Cushion Wesley had bought for her. That way, he wouldn't have found an excuse to wire another one million dollars into her bank account.

As things were usually slower at work during the off-seasons, Blair asked her manager for some time off from work so she could fly to A Country and visit the Li family.

Blair only told Cecelia in advance that she was coming to A Country. However, much to her surprise, Baldwin accompanied Cecelia at the airport to pick her up. Cecelia was so excited to see Blair that she almost cried in public, as if she had finally seen her daughter, who hadn't been home a long time.

They had lunch at the Li family's house, and then Cecelia took Blair out to an art exhibition. Later that afternoon, they decided to go shopping, but before they went to the mall, Blair sincerely insisted Cecelia should not buy her anything.

Cecelia assured her that she needn't worry about anything, only to go back on her words later on. She not only bought clothes for Blair, but also took her to one of the biggest laptop retail outlets in the mall. "Aunt Cecelia, are you looking to buy a laptop?" Blair asked curiously.

"Yes, dear!" Cecelia answered plainly, eyes focused on the wide selection of laptops on display.

One of the salespeople recommended two laptops to Cecelia, who then held Blair's hand and asked, "Which one do you think is better?"

"I think you should pick the one you like!" said Blair.

"It's not for me, dear." Cecelia smiled at her and continued, "I heard that your laptop got broken. You need a new one!" Some time ago, Niles told Cecelia that Blair's laptop was broken in the car accident. Blair's suffered a leg injury, but luckily it was not that serious. Cecelia, however, felt guilty because she couldn't fly to Y City to visit Blair, so she thought to make up for it by getting her something she needed. Blair was deeply moved by Cecelia's gesture of kindness. "Aunt Cecelia, you don't need to buy me a laptop. Anyway, I just use the company's computer; it works just fine for me." She then turned to face the salesperson and apologetically said, "Sorry for the trouble, miss, but we are not buying a laptop." As she smiled at the salesperson, Blair held Cecilia's hand and tried to take her away.
