Chapter 685 Because I’m In Love


    ir''s birthday was on lunar June 6th. Chinese Valentine''s Day came a month after.


    It had been one month since Wesley''sst phone call. ir kept herself busy at work every day, doing


    overtime to keep her mind off him.


    Life was dull without Wesley.


    On the eve of Chinese Valentine''s Day, Talbot called her out of the blue.


    ''Why is Talbot calling me? Did something happen to Wesley?'' she wondered anxiously and picked up


    the phone in a hurry.


    "Talbot, what''s up?" she asked.


    "It''s me." Wesley''s voice came from the other end.


    ir gave a sigh of relief. "Are you with Talbot?" she asked.


    "Yeah. What do you want as your present?"


    "Huh?" she asked, confused as to what he was talking about.


    "Tomorrow is lunar July 7th," Wesley reminded her. He had heard that this festival meant a lot to


    women. But apparently, ir didn''t even seem to know that this festival was the next day.


    ir was surprised that Wesley remembered. She smiled. "I''m surprised that you remembered. It isn''t


    like you at all." Wesley had changed a lot.


    "Because I''m in love," he replied simply.


    ir blushed, her heart leaping out from her chest. She remained indifferent even though she had


    been looking forward to Chinese Valentine''s Day for the past month. "You don''t have to buy me


    anything."


    "Okay."


    "Huh?" she blurted in shock.


    "I called to wish you. I may not have time to talk to you tomorrow."


    "Oh." ir''s face fell when she realized that she would be out of touch with him once again.


    "Happy lunar July 7th, ir!"


    "Thank you, Wesley. Same to you," she said with a sincere smile.


    "I have to go now. Take care of yourself," Wesley said softly.


    "Okay."


    And the phone call ended just like that.


    By the time ir got off work the next day, she had gotten neither a call nor any presents from Wesley.


    ''It''s true that I told him he didn''t have to buy me a present. But I didn''t think he really wasn''t going to get


    me anything, '' she thought sadly.


    She looked at the rose bunny and scolded through clenched teeth, imagining the bunny to be him,


    "Seriously? Nothing? You choose to listen to my words now?


    Fine. Don''t give me anything. I don''t want it anyway. You just wait till I see you next time!"


    She gave an irritated snort and then posted an update on Moments. "Ladies, today''s a special day. We


    shouldn''t spend it alone. I''m going out to find myself a gigolo. Anybodying with me?"


    Soon, many leftments on her update. Some joked, "Count me in."


    "You''re right. There''s a club in New District. You can go there and have some fun. Those men are


    cute."


    "ir, you''re so cool. Good luck!"


    "ir, aren''t you afraid that your husband might see this post?"


    "I''ll be your gigolo. Come to me."


    ir read all thements, but none of them were from the person she was looking forward to.


    Then it urred to her that she had blocked Wesley''s WeChat ount earlier. She had posted that


    update on purpose to make him jealous, without realizing that he couldn''t even see it.


    ir sighed in defeat. She was bored at home and decided to take a walk.


    As she was about to leave her apartmentplex, she got a call from Talbot.


    "Hi ir," he said.


    "Talbot?"


    "Yeah. Can youe to our chief''s apartment right now?"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Eastern Coastal Apartments?"


    "Yeah."


    "What''s wrong?" she asked. ''Wasn''t Wesley with Talbot yesterday? Is he back?''


    "Chief asked me to get something from his apartment. I came back to get it, but I forgot to get the key


    from him."


    "Oh," she answered, disappointed that Wesley wasn''t back. "But, I don''t have it either." She had


    returned her key to Wesley when she had moved out of his apartment.


    "What about your fingerprint?"


    "Um, I could give it a try." She wasn''t sure if Wesley had removed her fingerprint from the scanner.


    "Excellent!" Talbot eximed.


    ir walked to the bus stop.


    Before she could get there, a green car came to a halt in front of her. The car window rolled down,


    revealing Ga''s face. "ir, where are you going? I''ll give you a lift."


    After a second''s hesitation, ir opened the door and got in. "Thanks. Why are you here?"


    "I''m just passing through." Ga started the car and drove on.


    "I''m heading for Eastern Coastal Apartments," ir said.


    Ga nodded and drove towards the apartmentplex.


    Both women were quiet. It was getting awkward, so ir spoke first. "I never got the chance to thank


    you for saving me when I was kidnapped. Thank you."


    "You''re wee," Ga said casually.


    She was just doing her job. She would have done the same, no matter who the victim had been that


    day.


    It was quiet once again inside the car.


    Ten-odd minutester, they arrived at the apartments. "Thank you again. Drive safely," ir said after


    getting out of the car.


    "Okay," Ga responded.


    ir turned to leave. "ir," Ga called from behind her.


    She turned around to look at Ga. "I hope you won''t contact Wesley again. Your phones had been


    bugged and he almost died protecting you. He is on an extremely dangerous mission this time. Even


    his parents never contact him."


    ir gaped at her words. "Is he okay? Where is he?" she asked anxiously.


    Ga looked at the apartment building behind ir without answering her question. "Bye," she said to


    her before driving off.


    Worried to death, ir hurried inside, hoping to ask Talbot about Wesley.


    She took the elevator, Ga''s words ringing in her head. But when she reached Wesley''s floor, Talbot


    was nowhere to be found.


    She called him, but his phone had been turned off.


    She ced her finger on the fingerprint scanner. With a beep, the door unlocked. Wesley hadn''t erased


    her fingerprint from the scanner.


    ir let out a sigh of relief. She pushed the door open, walked inside and turned on the lights.


    Everything was the same as the day she had moved out.


    She walked around, reminiscent of the past. For the longest time, she stood in front of Wesley''s


    bedroom. The door was closed.


    She grabbed the doorknob and turned. Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist. "Aargh!" she screamed.


    "Shh! It''s me!" A firm hand covered her mouth to stop her from screaming further. She was held fast


    against a broad chest, and a familiar scent wafted into her nose.


    Her heart drummed with excitement. Her eyes brimmed with tears. Removing his hand from her mouth,


    she asked, "When did youe back? Where''s Talbot?"


    Wesley didn''t answer her. Lowering his head, he gave her a gentle kiss on her full lips. Her beautiful


    lips had kept him awake on so many lonely nights. "ir, happy lunar July 7th!"


    She looked at him tearfully. "Are you hurt? Let me have a look at you."


    She reached out her hands to examine him, but Wesley grabbed them and said, "I''m here to be with


    you. Nothing else matters. I have only two hours. So, let''s not waste any more time."
