Wesley frowned. So, that was the reason why gan had called him that day while he was cooking.
"Whoever did that to you, I'm sure it had nothing to do with Blair. She hasn't left my side in the past few days. I'm not going to ddle with your business anymore. Report your case to the police. Let the law help you seek the justice you deserve. I can't do anything about it."
gan couldn't believe it. "Wesley Li! Did you forget what you and Carlos had promised to my late parents? You had vowed to take care of for the rest of my life. How can you go back on your word now?"
A cold light flashed in Wesley's eyes as he snapped, "You are lucky that your plan failed and Blair is safe. Or else, I would have personally locked you up in jail. Carlos and I have tried our best to make it up to you and care about you. We can't do anything more than this. Of course, I can't say this on behalf of Carlos, but I, Wesley Li, will never co see you again. I'll stay out of your life, gan, and you stay out of mine."
Saying so, he took Blair's hand and turned around to leave.
Tears stread down gan's face. "Uncle Wesley, please don't leave alone. I know it was my fault...Please don't go..."
Her cries didn't soften his heart this ti. Showing her no rcy, Wesley left her apartnt with Blair without any hesitation.
Once they got into the car, Blair asked the man, "Are you upset?"
He squeezed her hand and answered honestly, "No. Just disappointed." Wesley wondered since when gan had beco such a vicious girl. She used to be so innocent and lovely.
Blair nodded. "Now that you know gan's true colors, what are your thoughts about Debbie? Do you still think she is a bad woman?"
He fell silent.
She didn't press the question. Since he had promised to stay out of gan's life, she decided to let it go. She didn't want to ntion gan's na anymore. Ever.
Soon after, Debbie got married to Ivan. Blair and Wesley were invited to attend the wedding ceremony in Z Country, but they couldn't go. For one, Wesley wasn't familiar with Ivan, and secondly, he was busy with sothing else that day.
Blair didn't attend the wedding because Debbie had told her that her marriage to Ivan was fake. But it had to be kept a secret for now.
However, sothing completely unexpected happened on
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other won.
Eventually she stord off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishnt.
upset.
He kissed her forehead. "No, I'm not going to cry. It's only natural to have such parting monts in life." He had witnessed too many deaths in his life. Quite a few of his comrades-in-arm had died in the battlefield or during dangerous missions. He had never shed a tear over their deaths. Because he knew very well that the best way to honor them would be to give them a victory, not tears.
At least, in his case, he felt that crying wouldn't solve anything or help vent his sadness.
"Oh, you sound heartless. I bet you won't cry when I die in front of you one day," she joked.
A dash of fear gripped his heart. He couldn't bear to imagine such a scene. Tightening his grip on her, he rebuked, "Don't say such stupid things."
She chuckled. "Let's go ho."
"Mm hmm."
The sky was dark with thick clouds. It looked like it would rain very soon. Wesley drove away from the cetery without sparing the place a second glance.
They returned to their normal life after that. Nobody ntioned gan again.
gan owned a few houses, one of which was bought for her by Wesley, and the others were all under Carlos' na. Frankie, Carlos' assistant, had been in charge of gan's funeral affairs and he was also taking care of her assets. He sold all of her houses, and so, a large sum of money had been transferred to Wesley's account.
He wanted to take Blair to D City, but Carlos invited them for a trip to a seaside resort. For so dramatic reason, the number of people in the tour group had increased to nine in the end.
