True Love Waits

Blair thought that Wesley would be disappointed after being turned down. However, he simply lowered his head and flashed a smile. He didn't look embarrassed at all. She was confused. 'When I proposed to him and was turned down, I was so angry and disappointed. But he doesn't seem affected by my refusal at all.'

The soldiers who had been cheering stopped and began to talk among themselves. "Chief was right all along. He knew that she wouldn't say yes." "If he already knew, then why did he still propose to her?"

"She had proposed to him a few years ago, and he too had refused her at the time. Maybe he just wanted to make her feel happy."

Wesley got to his feet and took the ring out of the box. "It's your choice to turn me down, but I insist on marrying you. I'm putting the ring on your finger,"

he said. He wasn't surprised at all. It would have been strange if Blair hadn't turned him down.

After all, he had hurt her so many times during the past few years. He didn't blame her for turning him down.

He only hoped that she would feel better and forget about the miserable past after getting the chance to turn him down just the way he had done to her.

Staring at the shining diamond ring on her finger, Blair stammered in a guilty voice, "Wesley, I—"

He interrupted her, "You turned me down this time. But I won't give up. I'll keep proposing to you until you say yes." If she didn't say yes soon, their wedding would have to be postponed. He didn't want this to happen.

He had promised her that he would throw a wedding after coming back from D City, and he meant to keep that promise. He would make her say yes willingly.

Wesley took her to where Joslyn was standing, wide-mouthed. She patted the back of Blair's hand lightly and said, "Are you an idiot? You have been in love with him since you were seventeen. Now, you are twenty-seven! It's been ten years. You've long been looking forward to marrying this man. Why did you turn him down? Are you mad?"

Joslyn wished she could open up Blair's skull and look what her brain was made of.

Wesley held Blair's hand and told Joslyn, "She just got back at me for turning her down last time. And now, we are even. When I propose to her next time, she will say yes." He turned to Blair. "You will, won't you?"

Staring into his eyes, Blair couldn't help but nod. "Yes, I will."
