Chapter 589 Cheated By Niles


    Keith was stunned for a moment when he heard Niles promise so quickly.


    He was suspicious. Although the Li family always kicked him around, Niles was actually a very cunning


    guy. The boy''s voice sounded a little sad, but Keith could see right through him. He didn''t sound sad


    enough. Nheless, he replied, "Well, I''m d you like your brother so much."


    Niles had an idea. After a pause, he said, "I''m still sad, Grandpa. Could you try and be more upbeat?


    Okay, never mind. You''re not good at that. So if I give up ir, what''s in it for me?"


    It seemed that the young man had figured out exactly what he wanted. "What do you want?" Keith


    asked outright.


    "How about a new apartment? I''ll feel much better," Niles suggested. He could make a fortune by


    conning his grandpa.


    "A new apartment? Why? Didn''t your mom buy you one already?"


    "Yeah, but ir is living there now. Since I''ve decided to back off and let Wesley have ir, I can''t live


    with her. That''s not appropriate. She has no parents. I''m not going to kick her out, either," Niles said,


    pretending to be virtuous and upstanding.


    "Okay! Deal!" the old man announced. The poor grandfather waspletely taken in by his grandson.


    Eventually, he would find out ir had always loved Wesley, and that Niles had never dated her.


    After hanging up the phone, Niles felt like he was on cloud nine. His gloomy mood, caused by Cecelia''s


    tongueshing, vanished into thin air.


    Meanwhile, in the Shining International za, Cecelia, Wesley and ir moved on to a new store. Now


    they were shopping for shoes. They had no idea that Niles lied to the old man. Sitting on the sofa, ir


    tugged at the hem of Wesley''s shirt and said, "Don''t let your mom buy anything for me again. I''m not


    dating you or Niles. Tell her. Don''t spend money on me."


    Wesley replied indifferently, "She''s rich."


    ir was speechless. That was not the point.


    Cecelia asked a saledy to show a pair of shoes to ir. "ir, try these on. They look good."


    ir didn''t budge. "Aunt Cecelia, I''ve tried on three pairs. I think it''s your turn."


    "That''s not for women my age. It''s for young girls. Besides, the pink matches thest outfit you tried


    on."


    ir found it hard to resist Cecelia''s enthusiasm.


    She looked at Wesley, signaling to him for help. He sat next to her and echoed his mother''s words.


    "Mom''s right. They look nice. Try them on."


    ir sighed helplessly.


    Finally, they picked out three pairs and Wesley paid for them again. Looking at the guy carrying the


    shopping bags, ir quickly caught up to him. "Wesley, lend me a hand, okay?"


    "Sorry, I never knew how to handle her," he refused bluntly.


    Irked by him, she said between gritted teeth, "You jerk! You just stand by and watch me sink lower and


    lower."


    "Quit exaggerating. But whatever, I don''t care what you think."


    ir closed her eyes to hopefully calm down and hold back her anger. "Okay, okay. Then hand me a


    card. I want to buy your mom a gift. I''ll pay you back when I get a new phone."


    Wesley lifted his hands to show her the shopping bags. "My wallet is in my pocket. Grab it yourself. My


    hands are full."


    ir remembered the embarrassing scene at the supermarketst night. To avoid any more


    embarrassment, she took the bags from him. Anyway, they were just clothes and shoes, so the bags


    weren''t heavy at all. "Now you can take out the bank card yourself."


    Cecelia approached them. "What are you two whispering about? Wesley, why is ir carrying the


    bags? She''s a girl!"


    Wesley exined, "I''m giving her a bank card."


    "Why?" Cecelia asked naturally.


    ir was worried. She didn''t think Wesley was a good liar and he might blurt out the truth. So she


    chipped in quickly, "Last night at the supermarket, I was about to swipe my card...but Wesley...already


    paid the bill... Then... I...put my bank card in his wallet, because it was raining outside... I forgot to get


    my card back."


    Obviously, ir was no better than Wesley at telling a lie. She stammered to make up ame excuse.


    But lucky for her, Cecelia bought her lie. She nodded to them and urged Wesley to be quick.


    Wesley gave his bank card to her. Now, with card in her hand, ir finally had the courage to lead


    Cecelia to the brand shops that were suitable for the middle-aged mother.


    In the end, ir bought Cecelia a silk scarf as a gift. But the price was rather cheappared to the


    things Cecelia had bought her. ir tried her hardest to lead Cecelia into those gift shops. But the nice


    mother couldn''t pick out anything she liked.


    Later, when they shopped in the cosmetics area, Cecelia was interested in a particr shade of


    lipstick. A saledy brought a sample stick for her to try the color. ir also tried on a warm-toned,


    Mocha lipstick shade. After applying it to her lips, she turned to the man who was waiting for them, and


    asked, "What do you think of this color?"


    Wesley looked at the smiling woman in confusion and then focused on her moist, plump lips. "Color?


    Isn''t every lipstick red?" he asked. He didn''t know about the colors, but he did want to kiss her lips right


    now.


    ir shook her head helplessly. Ceceliaughed and told ir, "You''re wasting your time asking him.


    He''s a typical guy."


    ir pulled a tissue and wiped her lips. In the end, Cecelia picked out two shades for herself and asked


    ir if she needed any lipstick, before asking Wesley to pony up the money.


    ir shook her head. "No. I got three when Joslyn got married. I haven''t used them yet." She reached


    out her hand and asked, "Aunt Cecelia, so you''re picking up these two shades? Let me pay this time."


    Cecelia caught her hand. "Just let Wesley do it. He''s saved up a lot of money since he doesn''t have a


    girlfriend. Let''s rip him off." Then she took ir''s hand and led her to another counter, leaving Wesley


    to pay for them.


    After the two women left, Wesley looked at the lipstick shade that ir had tried on just now, and told


    the saledy, "This shade, please bring me a fresh one and I''ll pay for them together."


    "Yes, sir. Please wait a minute."


    After checking out, Wesley took out the Mocha lipstick shade and put it in his pocket, then put Cecelia''s


    lipsticks in the shopping bag. He then picked up his pace to catch up with the two women.


    But when he walked past a counter, he happened to hear a conversation between a woman and her


    boyfriend. The woman requested, "Honey, buy me this bottle of perfume. Every woman loves this


    brand."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Her boyfriend said impatiently, "Look at the price. It''s a small bottle that costs a few thousand dors.


    Find another brand."


    Wesley caught a glimpse of the perfume bottle that the woman was holding. He stopped and turned


    around.


    He rearranged the shopping bags so he held them all in one hand. A saledy with a huge smile on


    her face came over and greeted him. "Please bring me a bottle of this perfume," he said while pointing


    to a perfume brand. It was the same one the man was unwilling to buy for his girlfriend.


    The saledy nodded happily, "Yes, sir. Which fragrance would you like?"


    ''Which fragrance?'' Wesley felt baffled. Women''s items were soplicated to him. He paused and


    then said, "I''d prefer a light fragrance." ''Strong perfume doesn''t suit her, '' he thought.


    The woman, who was badgering her boyfriend to buy the perfume, watched Wesley pay the bill. Her


    eyes glimmered with admiration.
