Chapter 1621
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
After a pause, Blair said honestly, âWell, my uncle is our biggest cheerleader. Heâs the matchmaker and
I got his approval before coming here today.â
So he finally had his suspicions confirmed. He knew it. They were conducting military exercises here.
No cars were allowed to drive into the training area without permission from the higher ups.
Wesley had wanted to frighten her away by laying out what she might have to go through. But it didnât
work on this brave girl.
She was young and should have a bright and happy future. However, there was no telling if he would
come back safe and sound from the next dangerous mission. His future was unpredictable. With that in
mind,
Wesley refused bluntly, âNo.â
He was calm. He didnât raise his voice, but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone standing
nearby. Everyone was stunned, including
Blair.
She had chosen to do it this way. In front of everyone. It would be bold, and eye-catching. And since he
seemed to like her, she figured that this would definitely work. He wouldnât be cruel and turn her down
heartlessly. Even if he wanted to say no, heâd have to say yes, and then turn her down in private. Of
course, it wouldnât work. Sheâd hold him to his word. He said yes, so sheâd badger him till he finally
broke down and decided to be with her.

But she hadnât anticipated this. Her plans failed. Or maybe she had been thinking too highly of herself.
She wasnât that important to
Wesley.
Suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Blair forced a smile and said, âThis is a turning point,
Wesley. Itâs now or never. If you say no, IâLL turn another page in my Life and try to forget you. If you
say yes, Iâll love you with all my heart and soul. Think carefully before you answer.â
Wesley didnât answer, but instead turned to his men. His loud and powerful voice echoed around the
training ground.
âTen-hut!â
The soldiers, who were watching the show curiously a few seconds ago immediately returned to their
serious selves, and lined up in orderly rows.
But a few of them still looked at Blair with compassion in their eyes.
âEveryone, Listen up! Obstacle course! Whoever fails to get to the end will get a 5k run in full gear!â he
ordered.
Blair looked at him, but his back was turned. She wanted to call out to him and ask him why he didnât
Love her. Wasnât she hot enough? Or just not his type?
But she never had the chance to confront him. He anxiously joined his men and ran off as the troops
marched over to the obstacle course.
Blair stood rooted to the spot, watching him running farther and farther away, as if he were being
gradually erased from her mind.
Joslyn felt her heart ache for Blair. She hugged the sad girl tightly, hoping to give her a little comfort.
With her eyes reddened from tears, Joslyn cursed, âHeâs such a jerk. He needs his eyes checked.
Youâre such an awesome chica and he still blows you off. I hate him! Forget him, okay? Iâll introduce
you to some guys who are worth your time.â
The troops completely disappeared from sight. Blair shifted her eyes to
Joslyn. She smiled and nodded, âGood idea! Iâm young. Iâm gorgeous. Why should I keep pursuing
someone who doesnât want me?â
Joslyn carefully studied her face but couldnât find a trace of sadness.
She was worried.
