Chapter 1624

With a sullen face, Hartwell sat in the driver’s seat. She knew how he felt. Joslyn sighed heavily.

“Don’t be mad. It’s Blair’s choice. She can’t be with the man she loves the most, so she settled for this

guy.

ALL the other men mean the same to her.”

Hartwell was good at hiding his emotions. He was quick with a smile when he had to be. It was his job.

But he could be himself now. He pulled a long face and blamed the girl who was already on the plane.

“Maybe it’s all the same to her, but there are still a ton of better men I could find for her. Why Miller?

He’s nearly ten years older than she is. Even if age doesn’t matter, he’s still so mediocre. What was

she thinking?” Hartwell was eager to find out who was the man Blair really Loved. He wanted to know

who had hurt Blair, but no one told him about it. Adalson didn’t allow him to look into it, either.

Joslyn, of course, knew the answer, but she said it wasn’t her secret to tell. She wouldn’t betray her

best friend like that.

Joslyn caressed his cheek and soothed him.

“Okay, no more frowns. Look on the bright side. Blair’s gonna be out of the country for three years. A

lot can happen in three years. Maybe they will break up tomorrow. Then you can set her up with the

perfect guy.”

Hartwell gave her hand a gentle squeeze. His mood was a little better now.

“Okay.”

Ever since she set down in England, Blair had been busy with admission procedures and getting her

bearings. A month Later, when everything had settled down, she finally had the time to hit the London

streets.

The weather was quite cool these days. She felt comfortable walking outside.

School life kept her busy, and she found it fascinating. Her classmates were friendly, and always invited

her to different events. All the better to practice her English. They even invited her to their family parties

so that she could get a better handle on the local culture.

Time flew by quickly. The New Year was just around the corner.

In Alorith, Hartwell had just come back home when Wesley arrived at the

Jenkins family’s house. The steward led Wesley inside. The two men engaged in small talk before

heading upstairs to Adalson’s study.

Adalson was practicing Chinese calligraphy in his study. He was a little surprised to see the two show

up together. He gestured for them to come in, then greeted Wesley with a nod and asked his son,

“Something up?”

“Yeah, It’s about Blair. I called her just now. She said she had a part-time job and would be staying

there instead of coming back for the

New Year. Dad, she’s been studying hard all the semester. I’m afraid she’ll get lonely if she doesn’t fly

back,” Hartwell replied. He wanted Adalson to talk to Blair and try to convince her to come back.

Adalson secretly glanced at Wesley. He was pretty sure that would be a touchy subject. But Wesley’s

face was as calm as usual, as if he hadn’t heard the name or it meant nothing to him.

Adalson sighed inwardly, and said to Hartwell, “She’ll come back. Your grandpa was pretty pissed when

he found out she was engaged. I bet

Blair will have a hard time facing the old man when she comes home.”

Hartwell fell silent. He then took a quick glance at Wesley and asked cautiously, “Don’t worry about

Wesley. He knows Blair. So what’s going on with her?”

It was so quiet there. The silence felt oppressive. After a while,
