Chapter 735 Who''s The Handsome Guy
Wesley let out another heavy sigh. "What happened?"
"I pped her in the face. Twice," ir said into the phone in a smug tone.
Wesley remained silent, not knowing what to say.
She continued, "Should I wait for you toe back and beat me to a pulp, or flee away as quickly as I
can? After all, I have heard people say that whoever dares toy a finger on dear Megan would be
doomed to an eternity of pain."
Wesley sensed the sarcasm in her voice. He warned, "You''ll only be doomed if you don''t wait for me
there. Stay put!"
ir grinned, as she yed with a strand of her red curly hair. He had wanted her straight, ck hair
back the very day she had had this new hairstyle done. She had been waiting for him to take her to the
hair salon. More than six months had passed since then, but she still hadn''t gotten the chance. Instead,
the very first thing he had done aftering back was visit and take care of Megan. She seethed with
anger at the thought. "Sorry, sir. I''ve had enough of this."
"What do you mean?"
"I hate Megan, but you want to be responsible for her for the rest of your life. If I choose you, I have to
put up with her crap too. I know that I can''t divorce you since a serviceman''s marriage is under
protection. So, I''ll just disappear. That way, you won''t be able to marry another woman either. Perfect
n, isn''t it?" ir wasn''t good at ying dirty tricks like Megan. She would lose this game in the long
run if she continued to fight against the girl. So, she thought it would be better if she stayed away from
all these people for the time being.
Wesley stepped on the elerator. "Just wait for me at the house."
"Fine," she agreed without hesitation.
However, when he reached home, the only sight waiting for him was a wailing Megan with her swollen
eyes. ir was long gone.
He called her again. But her phone was switched off.
By the time he flew back to Y City and hurried to her office, ir had already quit her job. It was an
urgent resignation. Orion had signed the resignation letter for her.
Left with no choice, Wesley headed back to the military base. Using their tracking system, he was able
to locate her. She was still within the city limits, in the countryside.
''What''s she doing way out there?''
He called Adalson. It was only then that he knew that ir''s paternal grandparents lived in the
countryside.
A pang of guilt filled his heart. They had been together for such a long time, but he had never tried to
know more about her. And now, it looked like her grandparents were still very much alive.
The next day, Wesley arrived at the vige where ir''s grandparents lived. With a few bags of
nutritious food in his hands, he walked towards their house. ir was squatted down on a vegetable
patch, pulling out weeds. She had never done this sort of manual work before. It was strenuous.
Her gray-haired grandmother, Marie, wasying the vegetables on the ground to dry them under the
sun. She learnt that that was how the farmers made dried vegetables. The olddy said to ir with an
amiable smile, "I told you not to do all that work. You''re not used to farming. Leave it to your grandpa.
Come here and get some rest."
ir''s silvery voice came from the vegetable patch. "I can do this, Grandma. If you and Grandpa can
do it, so can I."
Marie shook her head helplessly. "Girl,e here. You rarelye for a visit to the countryside. Why
don''t you—" The olddy''s eyes fell on the figure approaching them. "Who''s that handsome guy?" She
rubbed her eyes. "Am I seeing things now? We hardly get any visitors."
''What handsome guy?'' ir didn''t raise her head to look. She thought it must have been someone
merely passing by.
But his familiar voice caught her attention. "Grandma, nice to meet you. I''m ir''s husband, Wesley
Li."
"H-husband? My granddaughter''s husband?! Wesley?" The olddy was shocked, her eyes wide like
giant saucers.
"Yes." He put the bags of food aside and bowed to the older woman to show his respect.
ir had switched off her phone and had even gotten a new phone card. She had managed to buy a
bus ticket without using her ID number. She knew that he would track her down sooner orter, but this
was way too soon.
Marie nodded excitedly and gestured for Wesley to sit down. She shouted towards the vegetable patch,
"ir,e here—"
"Grandma." ir sighed and got to her feet. She looked at her grandmother, devoid of any expression
on her face. "Grandma, don''t be taken in so easily. Would I keep my marriage a secret from you and
Grandpa? He''s a fraud. Drive him out!"
Marie''s face instantly darkened. She red at the man and snarled, "How dare you! You sure look like
a decent man in that uniform. You almost had me fooled. Get out now!"
Wesley wasn''t angry. He trotted out his proof. "Grandma, please look at this. This is our marriage
license. See? ir and Wesley. She''s angry with me because we had a quarrel. I havee a long

way to apologize to her."
The olddy took the license from his hand to take a closer look.
ir quickly threw the weeding tools down and darted towards her grandmother. She reached out to
grab the license. "It''s a fake license. Who the hell are you? Get out! Or I''ll call the cops!"
Wesley caught her little hands. "ir… Please don''t be angry. It''s all my fault. I''m sorry."
She tried to break free while telling Marie, "Grandma, quick! Bring the broom! I''ll chase him out!"
"Oh...okay!" The olddy came back to her senses and realizing that her granddaughter was in danger,
she anxiously trotted inside to get a broom.
''A broom...to chase me away?''
Wesley sighed and said, "ir..."
"Marie, ir." A heavy, old voice rang from the doorway.
ir''s grandfather, Greenwood, had finallye back home from the market.
Marie trotted to the old man with a broom in her hands and said urgently, "Honey, you are just in time!
This man is trying to take ir away, pretending to be her husband! Call the cops!"
The old man looked at Wesley closely. "What nonsense are you spouting now? Adalson called me just
a moment ago. He said ir''s husband was on his way to visit us. A tall and handsome young man, he
said. Isn''t that him?" He pointed towards Wesley. "ir! What are you doing, just standing there and
listening to your grandma''s delusions?"
Wesley had earlier told Adalson about his n to visit ir''s grandparents. It was obviously a good
decision.
Marie dropped the broom. A big smile crept across her wrinkled face. "So, it''s true. This handsome
soldier is ir''s husband." She told ir off, "You naughty girl, how dare you lie to me? Young man,
"Thank you, Grandma. Grandpa, it''s a pleasure meeting you." Greenwood nodded. Wesley took the
food bags and followed Marie into the house.
ir was left behind, speechless.
In the small living room, the two elders entertained their grandson-inw with much hospitality. They
made tea and cut some fruits for him. "Wesley, please feel at home. Have some of this orange. Your
grandpa just bought it from the market. It''s fresh."
Wesley took the orange gratefully. "Thank you, Grandma."
"Don''t be so formal. We''re family."
Greenwood sat opposite him and handed him a pack of cigarettes. "Need a smoke?"
"I used to smoke a lot. But I have quit now." He still nned on having a child with ir.
"I see. Are you here to pick ir up?"
Wesley threw a nce outside the window. The woman had gone back to weeding on the vegetable
patch. "I wanted to apologize to her. I won''t leave here until she''s willing to go back with me."
Greenwood tapped his cigarette in the ashtray and asked with concern, "What happened? Did you tick
her off? Adalson told me that you are an officer in the army. And you have a rich background. Did you
cheat on my granddaughter?"
"No, no. I would never. I just came back to Y City from the border after a long assignment. But I was
upied with something else and didn''t get a chance to contact her sooner. She''s still angry about
that." Wesley intentionally left out Megan''s name.
Greenwood nodded understandingly. "I see. That''s not a big deal. Rest assured. I''ll persuade the girl."
