A smile crept across Wesley's face when he sensed her fidgeting and realized she was edging closer to him. A clear sign that she was staking out her territory. He lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

The kiss was comforting for Blair, but heartbreaking for Patty.

She had been with Wayne for more than a year. He had never given her that kind of comforting kiss.

In fact, she had never seen him kiss anyone. The harem that Wayne kept all knew that he could take a woman home, but he hated being kissed.

As time passed, some bolder women would try kissing his face, but never on the lips.

All of a sudden, many things made sense to Patty. People said Wayne was a player and had slept with tons of women.

Many women even boasted of how good he was in bed. But they never mentioned details.

So...that only meant one thing. Wayne's flirtation and promiscuous ways were only a pretense.

'Then what exactly happened on our wedding night?' Patty's face went pasty at that thought. She hadn't even seen his face that night. He insisted on complete darkness. Was that even him in her bed that night?

Patty couldn't bear the pain anymore. She shouted in tears, "I know your real name's Wesley. How could you treat me that way? My grandpa and I were so good to you. But you killed him! I loved you, but you put my parents in jail!"

Wesley looked at her through cold eyes. "They deserved it."

"Seriously? How could you even say that? What about you? You toyed with me and treated me like dirt. When will karma catch up with you?" Patty marched up to him as she spat those words. She was shaking from crying. She had never seen him so unfeeling.

"Toyed with you?" Wesley asked. "Did I ever say I liked you?" Before they got their marriage license, he told her in no uncertain terms that he didn't like her.

But Patty was head over heels in love with him. She told him that as long as they were married, nothing else mattered.

Now, she didn't know what to say. She thought that once they were married, she'd win his heart. She was that good. She was also naive.

But she didn't know that he had already given his heart to someone else. To the woman in his arms right now.

"Wayne, you already destroyed my family. Please don't leave me. You're all I have. Don't you know how much I love you?" she sobbed. She ignored Blair and wrapped her arms around his waist.

But Blair was not just a passive observer. She was getting angrier and angrier by the minute.

She squirmed out of Wesley's embrace and pulled Patty off of him. "Leave him alone! This is Wesley, not Wayne! He loves me, not you!" Blair declared.

"You're lying!" Patty shouted tearfully. "He loves me! He promised me we would see the world, go bungee jumping, shop overseas for the finest, most expensive things. That we'd drown in designer clothes, high-end jewelry and handbags. What did he promise you?"

Blair couldn't respond to that, because he'd never said those things to her.

Wesley had promised her none of that. He hadn't even promised to tour Y City with her. Never mind travelling the world.

That wasn't him.

He wasn't the type of guy to promise that. Blair would be frightened to tears on a roller coaster ride. That was scary enough. So bungee jumping was right out.

Wesley had never mentioned anything like a shopping spree in foreign countries.

He only asked her to wait for him.

Patty's remarks stirred up guilt in Wesley's heart. He realized that he had never promised Blair any of that. That he had promised Patty the moon, and Blair almost nothing.

He extended his hand, trying to pull her back into his arms. But Blair pushed him away. "Back off, bitch! He's Wesley, not Wayne! No, he never promised me any of that. All he did was ask me to wait. He never told me I'd be waiting for two years. But he came back for me. He's mine. He's a good and true man. Faithful to me."

Wesley looked at Blair affectionately. She cared. She remembered everything he told her.

Blair continued, "As for sightseeing... To be frank, he didn't even promise to take me around the city. But he took me to Happy Valley, when I told him I wanted to go. He waited for me patiently, even though that wasn't his idea of a good time. He even rode the rollercoaster with me. When I got tired, he'd carry me on his back and run around Happy Valley. When I was mad, he'd buy me flowers and apologize. He ate the food I couldn't finish. He would peel freshly roasted, hot chestnuts for me, because they taste better that way. My pic is on his lock screen. We visited his family during Spring Festival. There's a girl whose parents saved his life. He'd blow her off because he knew I hated her. I can go on. He's done a lot for me. That's love. But what about Wayne? Did he ever give you a piggyback ride? Did he ever finish your meals for you? He promised you the world? Did he ever follow through with it? Is that love? God, you're stupid."

Blair was right. Wayne had never eaten Patty's half-eaten food. Nor had he ever given her a piggyback ride. And she never met his parents.

All he ever did for her was make some hollow promises.

For a moment, the parking lot was very quiet. Wesley squeezed Blair's hand. He originally intended to shut Patty down himself. But right now he changed his mind. He wanted to hear what Blair had to say, because she had never said this to him before.

And Blair didn't let him down. Seeing that Patty had no intention of leaving, she continued, "Buying the most expensive clothes and bags is too shallow for Wesley. Of course he didn't promise me that. The biggest difference between Wesley and Wayne is that Wesley doesn't make promises. He is a doer. Actually I don't need his promises, because he already bought me those fancy clothes and bags. I have everything I ever wanted. Before he left for his mission, he bought me so many bags, I could swap out purses every month for a year."

Patty stood in stunned silence. She felt that maybe Blair was right. That her marriage to Wayne had been a lie. Blair had a look of smug satisfaction on her face.

"Most importantly, I was his first and he was mine. Do you have any idea how wonderful that feels?" Blair never regretted giving her virginity to Wesley, even though it had started unpleasantly.

Patty couldn't say she understood the amazing feeling Blair was talking about, because she hadn't experienced anything like that. There hadn't been a man in her life who cared about her enough to do any of those things Blair talked about.

Before Wayne, she fooled around with many men. So many that she was too proud to ask any of them to do anything like this.

Wesley couldn't help smiling when he heard what Blair said. He'd chosen the right woman. He was happy to be back, and would give her a child.
