Chapter 585 Chief Has Discovered Us
"A lot of people said that. Everyone doubted our chief''s sexual preference after he turned down ir''s
proposal. We all thought he was gay. But, look at what the man''s doing now? Tsk, tsk, the girl''s scared
by his passionate kiss," one of the men remarked, smiling mischievously.
"The girl he''s embracing right now is ir, for your information. She was trapped by the sh floods
which came in South Mountain. You know, our chief rushed to save her himself."
"Hey I heard that story too. They said that our chief risked his life and jumped into the rushing river
current to rescue a woman. Once he had carried the woman to a safe ce, he himself was washed
away by the flood. So was the woman ir too?"
"What''s our chief thinking? He loves ir. We all can see that. But she had proposed to him once in a
high-profile manner, and he said no at that time. Why? You know, if I were ir, I wouldn''t even give
him a single nce now, not to say let him kiss me."
"You only say that because you have no idea how much ir loves our chief."
"Tsk, tsk, listen to you! Do you think you are an expert at love?"
Lenard touched his chin and concluded amidst their fervent discussions, "Our chief is the typical breed
of man: aloof on the outside, but soft as a squishy brain on the inside."
This group of gossiping men were Wesley''s subordinates. They hade there to find Wesley and ask
him to join a get-together. They hadn''t expected to witness such a romantic and thrilling scene.
Wesley treated them like good friends in private, so they all knew everything about Wesley''s estates in
Y City, including this apartment. They also knew that it belonged to his brother.
Before Wesley had left the toon, he had told his men that his family hade, and he was going to
go to his brother''s apartment that night. That was why Lenard and the other soldiers hade to this
apartment to wait for him to show up.
They thought that they''d hidden themselves well and wouldn''t be found easily. But suddenly, Wesley
opened his eyes and let go of the woman in his arms. He tilted his head to look in a direction, a
dangerous look in his eyes. In the dark, Talbot felt like Wesley''s eyes were staring right at him,
merciless and cruel. If he were to take them as robbers, god help them!
He held his breath and hissed to the others, "Don''t move. Chief has discovered us!"
"Normally, our leader should''ve discovered us the moment he stepped out of the car, but he''s a few
minuteste this time. Seems like he''s overly tempted by the beautiful girl," a soldier whispered in a
husky voice.
When ir finally opened her eyes, she saw Wesley staring in some direction. She followed his gaze

and found a car. The car looked like a military car just like Wesley''s. ''Anybody in that car? Are they
here for Wesley?'' she thought.
Wesley strode towards the bush near the car. ir realized that there might be some people hidden
near it. Who were they? Why were they hiding? As the footsteps approached closer and closer to the
bush, the group of soldiers held their breaths and tried to hide themselves among the nts.
"Come out now!" Wesley stood by the military car and ordered loudly. Without a second''s dy, some
four or five men obediently emerged from the bush.
"Hi, ir, long time no see," Lenard greeted, shing a smile to ir.
"ir, we''re all Mr. Li''s men." The man who was talking to her was a new face to ir.
"Chief, B-ir... Good evening!" Bowman greeted them too. He seemed a bit nervous.
ir eximed in her mind, ''Oh my goodness! Did they all just see Wesley kissing me so
passionately?''
Her face was as red as a tomato now. That was so embarrassing. She shed an awkward smile,
quickly nodded to them and broke into a quick run. She went into the elevator straight away without
giving them a second nce.
Back inside the apartment, she changed into her slippers at the entryway. Cecelia was sitting on the
sofa in the living room, watching TV but her head was down. She looked sleepy. The noise at the
doorway jarred her awake. She opened her eyes wide and looked towards the door. "ir, you''re
back? Where''s Wesley? Did hee with you? Did he give you a ride?" Cecelia asked, looking
around.
"He... He met a few colleagues downstairs. They were talking, and I was a bit tired so I came up," ir
replied without raising her head. She put the shoes on the shoe rack and slowly walked into the living
room.
"Colleagues? They are here to find him at thiste hour? Maybe there''s something urgent," Cecelia
guessed.
ir nodded, pressing her lips tightly. She didn''t want Wesley''s mother to notice her red and rapidly
swelling lips due to the passionate kiss. She turned her back towards Cecelia and told her quickly,
"Aunt, I''m going to take a shower now."
"Uh huh. Go on. I''ll wait for Wesley here."
Soon after ir went into her bedroom, Wesley opened the door and entered the apartment with the
shopping bags in his hands.
He scanned the living room, only to find his mother there.
Ceceliaid the shopping bags on the table and began to sort the things out, while asking Wesley a
re of questions. "ir said you met some colleagues downstairs. Do you have anything urgent to
do?"
"No. Nothing urgent. Arade-in-arms hase to Y City and they asked me to join the get-
together."
"Oh, then off you go. Don''t stay up toote."
Wesley stole a nce at ir''s closed bedroom door and nodded, "Okay, Mom. I should get going."
"Bye. Don''t forget toe pick us up tomorrow," Cecelia reminded him, craning her neck to look at the
leaving man.
"Got it."
After Wesley had left, Cecelia was left alone and continued putting the groceries in order.
Inside the bathroom, ir had been holding her breath, carefully listening to the noise outside. She
didn''t know why she was so scared of facing Wesley.
Maybe because she felt a little guilty. After all, Cecelia believed that she was Niles'' girlfriend, but she
and Wesley had just kissed each other downstairs.
Later that night, much to ir''s surprise, Cecelia insisted on sharing a room with her. She really was
childish.
ir felt helpless. She could do nothing about this childishdy. In the end, she had to share a bed with
her.
In retrospect, ir hadn''t slept in the same bed with anyone in a long time. Back when she was at the
university, she had asionally had a sleepover with Joslyn but apart from that, she liked her bed to
herself. After the graduation, she had been sleeping alone all the time.
Seeing that ir had rolled to one side of the bed, leaving most of the bed empty, Cecelia thought that
the girl was so cute. "Don''t be nervous, dear. I won''t roll around in my sleep. You can move closer to
my side."
ir meekly moved a few inches closer to the middle of the bed. "Aunt Cecelia, since you love girls so
much, why didn''t you give birth to a third child when you were young? Maybe you would''ve had a
daughter." She suddenly posed a question.
Cecelia had once said that she loved girls, and that she regretted not having a daughter when she
could.
The mothery down beside her. "Wesley''s dad didn''t want me to have a third child." She sighed, "He
saw how much I had to suffer to give birth. I told him many times I wanted a daughter, because
daughters are always warm and considerate.
Then he told me that I would have two warm and considerate daughters-inw in the future, so why do
I have to give birth to a daughter and suffer pain myself?"
After a pause, she looked at ir and continued, "You know, there are always problems between a
mother-inw and a daughter-inw. I''m worried that the young aren''t usually willing to live with the
elders, or we may have difficultiesmunicating with the young."
ir nodded in understanding. Indeed, the rtionship between a mother-inw and a daughter-inw
could be sensitive sometimes. It was social phenomenon that urred more than often. "But you''re a
nice person. I think you''ll surely get along with your future daughter-inw. There won''t be a problem in
your case," sheforted the anxious mother.
On hearing her words, Cecelia was thrilled. She turned her body around and looked at ir. "You said
the same things as my husband. He always says that my personality is like a child. I''m good with
people, so I won''t have problems getting along with anyone. If I treat my daughter-inw like my own
daughter, she will surely treat me as a real mother. ir, is that what you think too?"
ir suddenly felt baffled. Why was she asking her that? She wondered if she should take this
opportunity to exin her rtionship with Niles. But then she decided against it. She''d better off
finding a more suitable opportunity to tell the happy mother. If Cecelia knew the truth now, she might
end up having a sleepless night. So she nodded, "Yes, I think so too. People should have mutual
respect towards each other. Heart to heart, that''s the basic rule."
