Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

Chapter 562 The Proposal

It was getting hot. After Blair had passed the GRE test, she got busier. She sent her past school reports, along with her IELTS and TOEFL transcripts to a prestigious overseas university. Since Blair was an outstanding student, and her university had written a shining recommendation for her, she got her acceptance letter very soon.

When the junior year came to an end, Blair went to see Adalson.

In the study.

Adalson banged the desk angrily, his sonorous voice travelling across the entire second floor as he scolded, "This is complete nonsense!"

Blair pleaded, "Uncle, just this once! Please."

"Not gonna happen!" Adalson snapped.

He had no issues with Wesley, and he thought that it was right to take bold actions to pursue love.

But what Blair was suggesting was outrageous.

"Uncle, I am confident that my plan will work."

"No! Absolutely not! I cannot allow this!" Adalson felt that since he and Natalia had given Blair enough freedom lately, she thought that she could do whatever she wanted.

Blair drooped her head. She had known that her uncle would say no.

Seeing how disappointed she was, Adalson sighed. He calmed himself down and said, "You can chase him in any other way, but this is not right."

Blair shook her head. "I want to try this. If it still doesn't work, I'll focus on my studies."

The look on her face made Adalson's heart ache.

Finally, he said resignedly, "Fine. There will be a drill in four days. Wesley and his soldiers will be there. You can take that opportunity." He thought about it. This was the only chance where he could let Blair through to enter the military site and carry out her absurd plan.

Four days later on the military training area in the suburb.

The most courageous thing Blair had ever done was fall in love with Wesley.

The boldest thing she had ever done was propose to him in a wedding dress.

The most humiliating thing in her life was that when she popped the question, Wesley rejected her in front of hundreds of soldiers and then punished them for cheering at the scene.

Early that summer, with Joslyn's help, Blair found a wedding dress she liked after searching for a long time. It was simple, but elegant. After selecting a pair of matching wedding bands, she went to the military training area with Joslyn.

The drill went on till noon.

The troops were dismissed and they were resting on the field before having lunch.

Just then, a white Hyundai rolled to a halt at the roadside near the field.

Wesley frowned at the vehicle. Due to the ongoing drill, the place was heavily guarded. There wasn't supposed to be any irrelevant people hanging around the area. And he had never seen that car before.

It attracted the attention of the soldiers as well.

They wondered who it was. After a long while, Joslyn got out of the car and waved to Wesley. "Officer Li, can you come here for a moment?"

The sudden appearance of a female in the army field was definitely dramatic, not to mention she was there for Wesley. More and more soldiers were interested in the scene that was unfolding in front of them.

"Whoa! The beauty has come for our chief."

"Isn't she Blair's friend?"

"Chief, the girl is talking to you. Hurry up!"

Wesley looked at the soldiers and then strode towards the car.

Meanwhile, Blair was thinking of backing out of the plan. Joslyn craned her head into the car and grabbed her hand. "Get out of the car! He is coming over."

Blair wanted some more time to think about it. As Wesley got closer, she started to have doubts. Maybe she was being too impulsive.

But Joslyn wasn't planning on letting her regret her decision. "You're already in a wedding dress. You bought wedding rings. You had everything prepared for this moment, and you want to bail out now? How can you even think of being Wesley's woman if you are such a coward?"

Her last words hit the spot. Joslyn was right. Wesley was a soldier. How could she chicken out now?

"Go, Bless! You're the bravest girl I've ever known." Joslyn hugged her, trying to boost her spirit.

Blair gave her a smile, too nervous to speak. She lifted the hem of her dress and got out of the car.

Wesley slowed down his pace when he saw the sight before his eyes.

Blair was wearing a white wedding dress, and she had gentle makeup on her face. She walked towards him, holding a bouquet of red roses in her hands.

Her smiling face was crimson. Wesley was engrossed as he laid his eyes on the woman.

The veil flapped in the breeze, and she looked stunning.

Before the two of them could say anything, the soldiers started cheering and whistling. Some of them were amazed by how bold Blair was. Most of them envied Wesley. The rest were just excited to see what was going to happen.

Blair stopped when she was about a meter away from Wesley. He looked nonchalant, which made her even more nervous. "Wesley," she said quietly.

As they stood face to face, the soldiers became quiet. Only the rustling of the leaves could be heard. Everyone held their breath, waiting.

"You have been my idol since I was seventeen. My parents died when I was only nineteen, and I could never forget the way you hugged me." Blair paused. "I fell for you when I first met you. You're the first man who has made me want to get married." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She had prepared a long speech, but as she stood facing him, she forgot all of it. She could only follow her heart and say whatever she was feeling. "I'm going abroad to study. I want to settle this before I leave. It won't be a big deal that we are in two different places. We can video chat. But if you don't want me to go, I will stay here. All you need to do is say it. I'll be a good wife and I will take care of our home. I already got a check-up. I'm healthy, except for some cold syndromes in my…uh...uterus. But it's nothing serious!

This is my check-up report." Blair handed him the medical examination report along with the box containing the matching wedding rings. But Wesley didn't even look at it; his eyes were fixed on her.

"Wesley, will you marry me? Will you stay with me and let your feelings for me grow?" she asked with all the courage she could summon.

He stood there motionless. A long while had passed, but he still didn't speak.

The soldiers behind him started to roar, "Chief, say yes!"

"Marry her! Marry her!"
