Chapter 732 That''s Our Home


    Left with no other choice, Niles decided to take a nap in the car. Just as he was about to drift away to


    sleep, a knock on his head jarred him awake.


    In a haze, he slowly squinted his eyes open, feeling annoyed. "Who hit me? How dare you disturb my


    sleep..." As he rubbed his eyes and his vision cleared, Nile finally saw who it was. "Oh,


    Wesley...ir..."


    ir got in the passenger''s seat in silence.


    "Take good care of your sister-inw on the way back home. If she gets hurt, you''ll be very sorry,"


    warned Wesley.


    "What if you''re the reason why she''s hurt? Am I supposed to be responsible for that too?" Niles


    retorted, pretending to be angry.


    A chuckle escaped ir''s lips. The naughty boy''s words amused her and took her mind off the thought


    that was making her sad.


    Wesley had his fist raised, about to punch Niles, but he froze when he suddenly saw the smile on


    ir''s face. Her smiling face struck a chord in his heart. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever


    seen.


    He drew back his fist and looked back at Niles. "Contact me if you need my help."


    "Got it!"


    Wesley pulled out his phone and as he slid his fingers on the screen, he said, "I''m wiring you some


    money. Buy whatever your sister-inw needs and bring them to her. If you need more, just let me


    know."


    ''Wiring me money?'' Niles'' eyes lit up in excitement, but dimmed just as soon as they had lit up when he


    heard Wesley continue. "Keep ounts and ask ir to sign her name on every bill you pay. I''ll check


    the bnce when Ie back. If there''s even a penny less, I''ll take away three days of your sry."


    Whatever hint of excitement that lingered on Niles'' face had now vanished into thin air.


    He fired up the engine, stepped on the gas and sped away.


    Wesley watched the car drive away into some distance, but just as he was about to turn around and


    leave, the car suddenly stopped and started backing up. Confused, the soldier stopped moving and


    stood rooted to the spot.


    "Brother, goodbye!" the young doctor said mischievously. Both Wesley and ir were rendered


    speechless by the young man''s childish behavior.


    Before Wesley could respond, Niles stepped on the gas again and sped off. This time Wesley didn''t


    move until the car was out of his sight.


    The train back arrived on time. ir took the seat near the window, pensively watching the view


    outside.


    One mile, two miles...She was going farther and farther away from Wesley. She was starting to miss


    the man already. When would they meet again?


    Suddenly, the sound of her ringtone derailed her train of thoughts. It was a call from herpany. She


    picked it up and tried to concentrate her thoughts on work.


    In less than an hour after its departure, the train began to slow down.


    The sudden change of speed didn''t go unnoticed by ir. Puzzlement filled her heart and she ended


    the phone abruptly. She stood up from her seat and leaned over the window to see what was going on.


    Meanwhile, Niles, who was lying on the sleeper and ying games on his phone, also sensed that the


    train had slowed down. ''Oh my! Could it be possible?'' He quickly put his phone away and sprang up to


    look out the window. The scenery outside seemed familiar.


    Without further hesitation, he put on his shoes and went to find ir. "Oh my god! I can''t believe my


    brother would steal my idea like that! And he is doing a better job than I did. Perfect time and location!"


    Niles yelled excitedly.


    When his eyes caught sight of the familiar figure, he eximed again, "I see him. ir, I see him! He''s


    standing on the tform. My brother''s so cool!"


    The view outside the window became clearer as the train slowed down. The moment a figure standing


    solemnly on the tform came into her sight, ir was moved to tears.

    Wesley had calcted the time urately. The scene repeated itself on the other side. When he


    spotted her face, he raised his right hand and saluted his beloved woman again.


    "Look, the soldier on the tform is so handsome! Is he saluting us? Come, let''s salute him too!" a


    passenger yelled.


    "Wait, my phone. I have to snap a picture of him. He''s so hot!"


    "But he''s a soldier. He''s the country''s asset," one girl sighed.


    ir grinned from ear to ear, happiness and excitement written all over her face. People''s praises


    towards Wesley made her feel proud.


    Meanwhile, the soldier''s eyes followed her. The moment she was about to pass him, ir saw him


    mouth three words.


    ''I love you!


    Yes! He said I love you!'' Although she couldn''t hear it, she was sure of what he had said.


    ir opened her mouth to return the words "I love you" to him, but she was on a running train and even


    though the speed was slow, in a split second, she was already quite far away from the tform.


    Wesley''s figure faded away. When he was finally out of sight, ir hastily pulled out her phone, clicked


    his WeChat dialogue box and sent him a message.


    "I love you too," was her reply.


    She wasn''t sure when Wesley would see her text since he was going to be busy all day long, but he


    would see it, eventually.


    Waiting was the only thing she did in the past ten years. Patience was a virtue she had in abundance.


    She waited for his reply and finally around ten o''clock that night, she received a reply from him.


    "I know," he wrote. Wesley knew that she had always loved him.


    ir looked at his message and smiled to herself.


    ir''s life returned to normal after she came back to Y City—work on the weekdays and night outs


    during the weekends. After all, she was an independent woman.


    About two monthster, she received a call from Wesley one day. "Can you let Megan stay in our


    apartment for a few days?" he asked cautiously.


    In Wesley''s eyes, their apartment in Eastern Coastal Apartments was their home and ir was the


    hostess. So, before letting Megan stay in their home, he had to ask her permission first.


    "Why?" ir''s eyebrows knitted tightly.


    Clearly, she had it in for Megan. Seeing her once in a while was already hard enough, and the thought


    of spending a few days in the same ce with her was pure horror to ir. A fight would break out


    every day, that much ir expected.


    "It''s not safe for her to be in her ce right now. And it''s not safe for her to be in a hotel either. I''ll make


    sure that she leaves once she is no longer in danger."


    ir wondered if she was being too unreasonable, but she just couldn''t help getting angry. "Wesley,


    aren''t you worried that she might stir up trouble with me?"


    Certainly, Megan was much weaker than her in Wesley''s eyes.


    "She''s not doing too well. Don''t be too hard on her. I won''t let her stay too long." He paused and then


    sighed, "But...okay. If you don''t want it, I''ll make another arrangement." Wesley understood how ir


    felt and he respected her opinion.


    ''She''s not doing too well?'' ir sneered. "The apartment is yours. The decision is yours to make. I


    won''t get in the way of that."


    The thought of being under the same room with Megan seemed like an absolutely impossible


    suggestion. However, she didn''t want to put Wesley in an awkward situation.


    "ir!" He called her name out loud, clearly a bit angry.


    "What?" she answered impatiently.


    In a stern voice, he stressed, "The apartment is ours, not just mine alone. That''s our home. You have


    the right to make a decision."


    ir shed a sweet smile. "Fine. Promise me that it will just be for a few days? Let her leave as soon


    as possible."


    "Okay, no problem."


    "And I''m going to set three rules."


    "Whatever you want."


    ir happily replied, "I''m not going to talk to her myself, so you need to tell her my conditions. First of


    all, no matter what happens, she''s not allowed to enter our bedroom." That was their most private ce


    in the apartment. She didn''t want any outsiders in there, especially Megan.


    The soldier grinned at the woman''s ability to be so sweet and petty at the same time.


    "Okay, what''s the second rule?"


    "Second, keep the apartment clean. She must clean up after herself."


    "Easy."


    "Third, she''s not allowed to bring any guests to our home... Oh, there''s one more rule. She has to call


    me ''Aunt ir.'' That''s all."


    "I see. I''ll pass on your words to her."


    "Mmm hmm. Well...when will you be back?" she asked quietly. It had been almost seventy days since


    they had seen each other. She missed him so much that she was on the verge of bing depressed.


    "Not sure yet, but it''ll be before the end of next month!" Give or take, forty days to go.


    After this mission, Wesley was nning on staying with ir longer than he did thest time.
