Chapter 1629
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Blair was initially embarrassed with Wesley around. Now she laughed because of Wacianâs joke. She
tilted her head to look towards Wesley, who was also looking at her.
âHi,â he said.
Blair nodded and said calmly, âI know him pretty well. Heâs a local legend. He saved me when my
parentsâ house caught fire.â
With the mention of her parents, the two men naturally fixed their eyes on the pathetic girl, but her face
betrayed no emotions. Wacian looked at his cousin with compassion in his eyes.
âOh, I see. I thought you didnât know each otherâ¦â He quickly changed the topic and asked, âSo,
Wesley, your family here yet?â
Wesley glanced over the exit and replied, âThey were at the baggage claim just now when I called.
They should be coming out⦠Oh, look, there they are.â

The Leonard family easily spotted Wesley since he was dressed in green camo fatigues, standing out
from the crowd.
Wesley frowned.
âMy grandpa is here too,â he said to Wacian.
Wacian was shocked to see the oldest man among the four members of the
Leonard family who were heading their way.
âEighty years young! Man, he looks healthy. And so active,â he marveled.
Blair saw Niles Lightly holding an old manâs arm. The old man was holding a crutch in his other hand
but he wasnât really using it. He was actually walking steadily on his own.
Next to them was a middle-aged couple. The man was dressed in a simple, dark-colored coat. He had
black, neatly combed hair. The lady wore a knee-length, dark-blue down jacket. Her long, black hair
was neatly coiled at the back of her head. Her skin was well-maintained. If you looked at her and
Wesley you could see the family resemblance. She was walking gracefully with a polite smile on her
face, just like a noble lady in the upper-class circles.
However, the moment she spotted Wesley, her eyes lit up with excitement. The next second, her
elegant image collapsed⦠The lady broke free from the manâs arm and lunged at Wesley, exclaiming
excitedly, âWesley, Son! Oh, I missed you so much!â
Helpless, Wesley stretched out his right arm to catch the middle-aged lady.
âMom. I know. Calm down.â
Cecelia Spencer cupped Wesleyâs face, her eyes full of love.
âI havenât seen you in a year. Did you miss Mom? Oh, youâre too skinny again. I heard that you needed
to train every day now. But arenât you a leader?
Why do you need that much exercise?â âMom, I-â Wesley tried to say something, but his mom cut him
off.
âYouâre too hard on yourself. Why didnât you come back home to see me when you had a holidayâ¦â
Bombarded with a barrage of questions, Wesley felt a headache coming on. He looked over his momâs
shoulder and looked at the three men approaching. Baldwin was as helpless as his son. He knew his
wife well and he could do nothing about it.
Niles winked at Blair, and she returned a smile. Wacian greeted Keith and Baldwin with great respect.
He saved Wesley from the embarrassment by joking, âAunt Cecelia, Iâm hurt. Iâve been standing here
the whole time and you canât so much as nod in my direction.â
