Chapter 595 Wesley And ir


    "Wesley damaged ir''s phone, so he bought a new one for her. ir bought me a silk scarf. Then I


    bought some essories," Cecelia answered.


    "Maybe Wesley bought the lipstick and perfume for ir," Baldwin suggested.


    "How''d he manage that?" Cecelia denied it without a second thought. "We didn''t go to the perfume


    counter. Wesley was with us the whole time."


    Baldwin cast a sideways nce at the picture on her phone and then looked at her own shades of


    lipstick. The lipstick in the picture was of the same brand. "Are you sure it was the whole time? When


    he paid for the lipstick, did you keep a close eye on him?" he asked doubtfully.


    After some deliberation, Cecelia answered, "When he went to pay, ir and I left the booth. I thought


    he was close behind us... No! He was gone a few minutes. ir and I had to wait for him. Aaargh!"


    Cecelia yelled at the top of her lungs.


    Baldwin patted his wife''s back. "Hey hey! Calm down."


    Cecelia dropped her phone and jumped to her feet. "How am I supposed to calm down? Why did that


    boy buy her anything? She''s his sister-inw! Wait! He paid for everything I bought for ir. That


    means he bought her all that stuff." That was when Cecelia realized something was off.


    Baldwin cast a casual nce at his wife and sighed inwardly, ''I think she''s finally getting it. ir and


    Niles aren''t dating.''


    Cecelia pped her thigh. "Oh my God! Things are out of control now."


    Baldwin shook his head helplessly. "Find anything else suspicious?"


    "Yes!" Cecelia nodded vigorously. "I thought it was weird that Wesley went shopping with us. Then,


    ir got nervous and identally dropped her phone into her ss of soybean milk. Wesley picked it


    up from the ss. But when she said it was from her ex-boyfriend, he dunked it again!"


    Baldwin giggled. ''Who said that Wesley knew next to nothing about women? It''s just that he hadn''t met


    the right girl yet.''


    "Last night, they went to the department store together, but then ir came home alone. She wasn''t in


    a good mood. Wesley came a few momentster. He even stared at her bedroom door a while before


    leaving. Maybe they had a fight," Cecelia said excitedly.


    She decided to change her name to Sherlock Holmes Shi.


    "Wesley found an excuse to make ir sit in the passenger seat next to him. Oh, and that card! That


    green bank card! That wasn''t ir''s! It must be Wesley''s! They lied to me! Before I left, ir fixed


    some dessert for me and Wesley. He even had an extra cup of strawberry milkshake. A tough guy like


    that, seemingly reveling in milkshake. That''s not weird, not at all.


    And when I was on the phone with ir just now, Wesley was there too. They had supper together. He


    should''ve driven her back home after seeing me off at the airport and then left, but he didn''t!" Cecelia


    found more and more that didn''t add up.


    "There''s something going on between those two," Baldwin said with certainty.


    "No! How could they do this to Niles?" Cecelia cried, feeling frustrated. ''ir is Wesley''s sister-inw!''


    she thought bitterly.


    Baldwin didn''t think so. "Maybe Niles and ir aren''t a couple. I think you have it backwards." After all,


    when she called Niles'' telephone and ir answered it, Cecelia came to the conclusion that they were


    a couple and were living together. Baldwin thought something didn''t sound right.


    "But why didn''t they tell me?" And then, it hit her. She finally had an epiphany. "I guess ir tried to, but


    I thought she was just shy, and didn''t listen to her." Cecelia had another thought. "But when the three of


    us were shopping and ir told me that, Wesley said that they might have had a fight."


    ''Holy crap! I always thought ir was Niles'' girlfriend. Turns out I was wrong. Will Wesley be ticked off


    at me?'' she thought.


    "Did Wesley say they ''might'' have had a fight?" he asked.


    "Yeah..."


    "I get it. Exact words or not, he wasn''t entirely sure. But you didn''t get it back then. I guess Wesley was


    pretty frustrated. But he couldn''t tell you because you''re his mom. Since you tried hard to pair ir off


    with Niles, Wesley had to hide his feelings for her. You know him. Poor guy!" Baldwin knew his son


    quite well.


    Cecelia almost cried. "What should I do? He had a crush on her, and I tried to set her up with his


    brother. He must be so sad."


    "You don''t need to do anything. It''ll sort itself out. ir knows who she wants," Baldwin said. ''She can''t


    have feelings for both of them. No matter which one she loves, she''ll always be our daughter-inw, ''


    he thought.


    "Right! You''re so smart. Maybe I should call her..." Cecelia suggested.


    "No, no, no. Let''s just wait patiently. If Wesley really has a thing for ir, we''ll find out. Just leave those


    two alone, okay?" Baldwin thought things would get worse if his wife got involved.


    "All right."


    After mulling it over a bit, Baldwin suddenly said, "Niles has been really quiet recently. I suddenly have


    a bad feeling about this. I need to talk to Dad."


    "I''m sure Niles is stewing. I bitched him out over ir, and they weren''t even dating." Cecelia felt sorry


    for her two sons and ir.


    Baldwin shook his head. "Things weren''t as simple as you thought. It''ste. I''ll visit Dad tomorrow. I


    hope Niles isn''t plotting something."


    "Yeah, it''ste! Let''s hit the hay."


    Wesley, on the other hand, went to the army base. When he got out of his car, he suddenly


    remembered the desserts ir made for him. So he took them out, went to his office and ced them


    on his desk before leaving the office.


    Before long, a group of people came in. "Chief, you''re finally back!"


    "We have a meeting tonight?"


    "Er? Where is he?"


    "I just saw his car. He must be here somewhere," Talbot said in confusion and scratched the back of his


    head.


    "Hey look! Food! Chief must have brought this for us!" Lenard found a disposable paper bag and took

    out two lunch boxes and a thermos.


    The rest approached him. "Chief is so nice to us. He always brings food. But this is hardly a snack.


    There''s not enough for us." Wesley always bought food or drinks for his men when he was off work.


    "Don''tin. It''s better to have a little than nothing." Bowman opened one of the lunch boxes and


    saw eight mung bean cakes. They looked rather inviting.


    "Wow, there are also mooncakes! They look delicious! Give me one!"


    Everyone grabbed a mung bean cake and a mooncake. There were only two mung bean cakes and a


    mooncake left. Talbot suggested, "They''re still wrapped. I guess he hasn''t eaten yet. We''ll keep these


    for him. There''s milkshake in the thermos. Want some? We''ve got disposable paper cups."
