Chapter 590 You Can Date My Brother
Wesley took the bottle of perfume and walked away from the checkout counter. After he left, the
woman turned around and red at her boyfriend. "We break up! I want a handsome and generous
soldier to be my husband too!" she shouted.
Meanwhile, ir and Cecelia had been looking for Wesley. They were just about to call him when he
finally came into sight.
Cecelia asked, "Where have you been? We thought you lost your way or something!"
"I didn''t. Let''s go now." Wesley shrugged, not nning to offer an exnation.
ir narrowed her eyes at Wesley, growing suspicious and a little confused with his behavior. She
wondered if he had been smoking in a corner somewhere.
Wesley chose not to acknowledge ir''s suspicious gaze and continued to walk towards a phone store
and walked inside. The twodies exchanged confused nces and eventually followed him inside the
store. Wesley browsed the store''s ss racks and picked out a rather expensive phone for ir. She
was about to decline his choice, but Wesley stopped her before she could protest, saying, "I broke your
phone. It''s the least I could do."
Holding the brand new phone in her hand, ir discreetly pinched his arm so Cecelia would not notice,
and hissed in his ear, "What are you doing? You idiot. This phone you bought me is worth almost ten
times of my old one. I don''t even dare to take out my new phone when I''m on the streets. I''m afraid of
being robbed." More importantly, ir knew that the phone Wesley was currently using was much
cheaper than the one he just bought. The screen even had a crack on it, but he refused to have it
repaired or buy a new one. ir did not find it reasonable that he bought her such an expensive phone.
"If you get robbed, tell me immediately. I''ll help you track the robber down and get your phone back," he
said confidently as if it was just a piece of cake for him.
ir sighed inwardly. She was getting the feeling that Wesley was trying to overindulge her.
The three of them had lunch at a Western restaurant at noon, and then went back to Niles'' apartment in
the afternoon. While Cecelia took her afternoon nap, ir busied herself with making some desserts in
the kitchen.
Wesley offered to help, but ir rejected it. He had no choice but to sit in the living room and watch her
go back and forth in the kitchen.
Two hourster, ir was done with the cooking.
She divided the desserts into two portions, one for Wesley and the other for Cecelia, so she could eat
on her ne ride.
She neatly packed the dishes into two separate bags. She called out to Wesley to inform him. "This
bag is for you. Inside is a box of mooncakes and mung bean cakes. There''s also a cup of strawberry
milkshake. Rest assured, it''s a new cup. This bag"—she patted the other bag—"is for your mom. I
didn''t prepare a milkshake for her since she can''t take it on the ne. Remember to finish the food
quickly. The weather''s still a little hot, so the food might go bad soon."
Wesley looked at the bags and nodded. "Okay." He then shifted his eyes to his phone again.
ir pouted, slightly infuriated by Wesley''s indifferent attitude. She let out an exasperated sigh and
continued packing. "Go wake your mom up. It''s about time to set out," she told Wesley without looking
at him.
Wesley stood up from the couch and went to his mom''s room. Cecelia had already woken up a few
moments ago and was now lying in the bed, talking with Baldwin on the phone. Hearing the knock on
the door, she got out of bed and opened the door. She instantly understood and nodded. "Wait a
moment, dear. I''ll finish packing up," she said even before Wesley said anything.
Soon afterwards, Wesley and ir sent Cecelia off at the airport.
On their way back, ir silently busied herself with her phone. She did not know what to say while they
were alone in the car. She thought that it would probably not be a good idea to mention returning
money to him at the moment. She had decided that she would save up some money in the bank and
pay him back in one lump sum.
Wesley was also silent. He wasn''t really the type to initiate a conversation, nor was he the type to y
music in the car. And so, they sat in the car in eerie silence.

It didn''t help that they soon got stuck in a traffic jam. After ying on her mobile phone for quite a
while, ir began to feel sleepy and her eyes became strained. She then leaned her head against the
passenger window and closed her eyes.
Wesley incidentally caught a glimpse of her when he checked the rear view mirror, and asked in a deep
gloomy voice, "Feeling bored to be around me?"
His sudden utterance startled ir, who was about to drift off. She abruptly opened her sleepy eyes
and looked at him in a daze. "Huh? What did you say?" She was slow in taking in his meaning due to
the sleepiness.
Her dazed and slightly confused expression made Wesley grin slightly. "I said, is it boring to be around
me?"
ir shook her head in response. "Not really. You''re driving and you need to focus on the road. I don''t
want to distract you."
"You don''t have faith in my driving skills?" he asked, the faintest hint of offense evident in his voice.
ir let out a helpless sigh. "It''s not like that..." she started, but eventually decided against it, thinking
that it was pointless. The air of awkwardness grew and they fell silent for a while. A few momentster,
ir added, "Well, um...will you go back to work after driving me to the apartment?"
That was his initial n. "No. I''m on a holiday today," he said, suddenly changing his mind.
"Well, then maybe you can have dinner with me back at Niles'' ce. There''s still a lot of food in the
fridge. Your mom has left and I can''t eat them up myself." She was telling the truth. They did actually
buy a lot of foodst night.
Wesley nodded, "Okay, but I''m going to bring someone."
ir raised an eyebrow. "Who?" She was trying to sound casual about it, but she was admittedly a little
curious. Not that she would say it out loud.
"I''m picking up Megan. Today''s Friday and she''sing back from school for the weekend."
ir''s face fell as she heard the name. ''Do the two of them always meet up whenever either of them
have the day off?''
She took back her words at once. "Forget it. I''ll just ask Joslyn toe and eat the food with me. I
don''t want to interrupt you and Megan."
Wesley immediately pulled a face with her sudden change of mind. ''Interrupt us? What the hell does
she mean by that?'' "ir, exin."
"Exin what?"
"What do you mean by ''I don''t want to interrupt you and Megan?''" Wesley demanded, casting a sharp
nce at her. He had to find out what was in this woman''s mind.
"Oh. I meant, aren''t you two sleeping together?" ir said straightforwardly. But as soon as she
dropped those words, she felt her face flush as she realized her insinuation.
Wesley suddenly turned the steering wheel and pulled up on the side of the road. He stared at ir,
the seriousness on his face shocking her. "She''s still a kid. Don''t say such words to ruin her reputation."
''Ruin her reputation? Still a kid? A kid can be so hypocritical like her?'' ir thought resentfully.
She then smiled mirthlessly and scoffed, "Oh, so what am I to you, then?"
''You hugged and kissed me. Aren''t you worried that you''ll ruin my reputation too?'' she wanted to add.
She was seething now.
Wesley fell silent. After a few silent momentster, he replied, "My mom likes you."
"So?" ir did not understand what that had to do with her question. She stared at Wesley''s resolute
face, which she couldn''t deny was an attractive look for her.
"Niles may be a little immature at times, but he''s around the same age as you. Maybe it would really be
better if you go out with my brother. He''s a doctor and he has my parents'' support. Even if he doesn''t
work hard to earn money, it won''t affect the life quality of you two."
Wesley remembered the time when ir was sent to the hospital because of a high fever, Niles asked
him for his opinion on pursuing her. Wesley reckoned that Niles also had feelings for ir.
He wouldn''t be able to give her a bright and stable future, but his brother could. Being a doctor was not
as dangerous as being a soldier. Niles would be a better choice for ir.
It stung ir''s heart to hear his words. "And so?"
Wesley looked at her intently. "I''ve been thinking that you''d be better off with Niles. My mom likes you,
so maybe you can date my brother."
ir didn''t know whether she should cry orugh. She wondered how she fell in love with such an idiot.
''My mom likes you...You can date with my brother...'' She curled her lips in exasperation, repeating his
words in her mind.
She suppressed the anger and bitterness, and said, "If I be your sister-inw one day, what will
you think about your behavior now? You''ve kissed your future sister-inw. Do I need to confess to
Niles that you''ve hugged and kissed me, his ''wife?''" ''Not to mention that you''ve even explored my
body.''
Wesley''s face darkened. "That kind of thing won''t happen again in the future," he assured her.
ir raised a fist and hit him in the shoulder as hard as she could. "Who do you think you are? Do you
think I can''t leave you on my own ord? Why do I have to listen to you and tell me who I should
date?" she shouted as hot angry tears welled up in her eyes.
