Chapter 1631
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
He made eye contact with her. But pretending not to notice her signal, he moved his eyes to his
grandfather and began to explain what happened that day.
Snapping back to reality, Niles wanted to catch up to the two women walking ahead of him, but Wesley
grabbed him by his collar and dragged him back.
âHey, let go. I have something to ask Blair.â
Keith shifted his sharp and observant eyes between his two grandsons.

He could sense they were hiding something. Squinting at them, he asked outright, âYou know who she
is?â
Niles shook his head, but on second thoughts, he nodded.
âNot really, but Wesley does.â
Wesley instantly cast him a warning glance. Niles flinched in fear and moved his eyes away, avoiding
any eye contact with his brother.
âOkay, that answers my question.â Keith slowed his pace as he was deep in thought. âSo Wesley likes
her?â That was something new to the old man. From what he knew, Wesley never showed any interest
in girls.
Megan was the only girl around him.
Seeing his grandfatherâs contemplative face, Wesley had no choice but to remind him, âDonât read too
much into that, Grandpa. Sheâs engaged.â
âOhâ¦yeah.â Keith shook his head.
âWhat a shameâ¦â
âBut wait. I noticed Wesley looking at her, and then looking away before their eyes could meet, â the old
man suddenly realized.
Wesley thought his family would drop it, so he sighed with relief.
However, his grandfather suddenly questioned, âDo you like her? Did you try dating her? Or is it the
other way round? She Loved you but you turned her down?â
Wesleyâs heart skipped a beat. He felt like a secret was discovered out of the blue. Sometimes it wasnât
a good thing to have a smart grandfather.
Wesley wanted to deny everything, but his grandfather added sternly,
âWesley, listen. Think it over before you answer. Iâve told you many times. An honest man is a good
man. Donât lie to me.â
Niles was trying his hardest to stifle his laughter. Nonetheless, still one or two laughs reached Wesleyâs
ears. The officer glared at the young doctor. He would remember that. Then he turned to the old man
again.
âYouâve gotta be tired. That was a long flight. Iâll explain it to you after you get some rest.â
âAlright. Keith knew he shouldnât push Wesley too hard. Anyway, his grandson would have to confess
everything to him sooner or later
On the other hand, Blair had a hard time explaining herself to Wesleyâs mother.
âWesleyâ¦he⦠Iâve admired him for a long time. But thatâs all. Itâs nothing. Besides, Iâve got a fiance
and weâll get married after I graduate.â
Although Cecelia liked Blair, she knew she shouldnât press the issue, since Blair was already engaged.
You shouldnât break up a couple. So she stopped asking about Wesley and Blair. Before they got in
their cars, Wacian told the Leonard family, âGrandpa Keith, my grandpa knows youâre here, so weâre
having a dinner party. Weâve booked a room. How about we head to the restaurant now?â
