Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“Nope.”

“But you have a savings account!”

The last slender thread of Wesley’s patience snapped.

“No money! Get lost!” he spat. Then he hung up on his brother, not wanting to hear a reply.

‘What did I do wrong? Why’s he so mad at me?” Niles was shocked.

His hope of buying the watch crumbled to dust. ‘I really want it. How can I afford it? Maybe sell my apartment? No! The housing prices aren’t that good right now. It’s a buyer’s market, and I want my money’s worth. *

It was the end of the year, and luckily, Wesley was able to take a few days off. He could go back to Askor.

Blair didn’t think it was a problem. Even when Wesley was here in

Alorith, she couldn’t see him very often. Not even once a week.

But a few days before the New Year, she got a call from Keith. It sounded like Wesley’s grandpa really wanted her to celebrate New Year with them in Askor.

Blair was stunned for a bit, but she recovered quickly and said she needed to check with her own grandpa first.

She did, and Gilbert didn’t like the idea. He told Keith that it just wasn’t polite. He promised she’d visit after the New Year.

So the two old men decided Blair’s plans just like that. She would fly overseas on the third day of the New Year to visit the Leonard family elders.

Wesley flew back to his hometown two days before the New Year. He was so busy every day that he didn’t know what was going on until New

Year’s celebrations were already under way.

As soon as he knew that Blair was coming the day after tomorrow, he gave her a ring. She happened to be holding her phone at that exact moment, pondering whether she should text him. She didn’t expect him to call her.

“Hi, Wesley.” Although they had been living together for a while, he almost never called her.

“Hi, Blair. When are you flying out?” he asked. Blair’s heart began to race.

“In two days.”

“Booked your flight yet?”

“No. I was going to.” Actually, she hadn’t had time to make arrangements. She just got the news herself.

“Let me book it for you,” Wesley offered.

“No, I’LL do it. I’m pretty bored hanging out here.” She was on holiday too. Since she was off work, she couldn’t help missing Wesley.

Wesley didn’t push the issue.

“ALL right. Once you book it, send me your flight info.”
