However, he only looked at her for a couple seconds before his gaze fell on Wacian.


    The two men had known each other before. Wacian knew ir had a crush, but he didn’t know it was


    Wesley. So he turned to look at ir and said, “Hey, there’s a buddy of mine. Let’s go say hi. I’ll


    introduce you.”


    The smile froze on her face. Embarrassed, she tried tob her long hair with her hands, and nodded,


    “Okay.”


    While Wacian and Wesley shook hands, ir’s phone buzzed in her pocket. Before Wacian could


    introduce them, he saw the girl walk to one side, answering the call. ‘Fine, forget it. Maybe next time, *


    Wacian thought. He then shifted his attention to Wesley again.

    “My cousin just came back from abroad. Why are you here? Picking up or dropping off?”


    Wesley was stealing nces at ir out of the corner of his eye.


    Hearing Wacian’s question, he focused on the conversation and nodded,


    “Picking up. My family’s flying in from Askor. I’vee to pick them up.”


    It wasn’t easy for Wesley to get a vacation. His parents hadn’t seen him for a year, so they couldn’t wait


    anymore and flew out to Alorith for a reunion.


    “Oh really? Since I’m not in a hurry, I’ll wait with you,” Wacian said with a smile.


    Wesley caught a glimpse of ir’s back.


    “Sounds good,” he nodded.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    After ending the call with Adalson, ir walked back to Wacian. Her cousin suggested at once,


    “Wesley’s meeting his family here. Let’s go say hi before leaving.”


    ir was stunned for a moment. This was unexpected. ‘Say hi to his family?’


    Wacian then exined to her, “Wesley’s grandfather and our grandfather are old buddies. And


    Wesley’s father helped me out a Lot when I studied in Askor. This is a rare chance. Let’s wait a while


    longer, okay?”


    Wesley’s grandfather-Keith Leonard, and ir’s maternal grandfather-


    Gilbert, had been friends for decades. Wesley’s father—Baldwin Leonard, and Adalson had been


    comrades-in-arms for ten-odd years too. So, the


    Leonard family and the Jenkins family were close. That was why Adalson paid so much attention to


    Wesley. But most importantly, Wesley was one of the army’s finest. So, Adalson always thought highly


    of the young man and threw a Lot of opportunities his way.


    ir nodded, “Okay.”


    The three of them then walked through the passage together. Wacian formally introduced the two to


    each other.


    “Wesley, this is my cousin—


    ir Johnson. She’s studying in London, and just came back for the New


    Year. ir, this is Wesley Leonard, the finest soldier in your uncle


    Adalson’s eyes. To be frank, I’m jealous. I think my father likes


    Wesley more than me!”
