Chapter 1687
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âOkay, as Long as you know what youâre doing.â
Wesleyâs eyes had been glued to her the whole time. But oblivious to his intent gaze, Blair texted her
friend, drinking soybean milk.
âThanks, my friend. Oh, right. Donât tell my cousin.â
Although Hartwell deeply appreciated Wesleyâs abilities, which he had witnessed in the military, he
disliked Blair getting too close to him.
He had sternly warned the girl to stay away from Wesley once. That was particularly why Blair didnât
want Joslyn to tell Hartwell anything. If he found out about the two of them, there was going to be too
much fuss for her to deal with.
Joslyn wrote back, âAlright, got it. Just use the money. Itâs from your cousin, so you donât owe me
anything. If I am short of anything, heâll give me more. You worry about yourself.â
Blair sent a thumbs-up emoji and replied, âWow! You lucky girl! I envy you so much. Donât show off to
me so early in the early, huh?â

âWho are you texting?â A manâs voice suddenly cut in her ears and it was so Loud that she almost
jumped. Startled, her hand shook violently for a moment and the phone slipped off, dropping right into
the half-finished bowl of soybean milk.
Wesley hadnât expected this to happen. He quickly shot to his feet and rushed towards the bowl,
snatching her phone out of the bowl with one hand, and pulling a tissue with his other hand. He began
to wipe her phone, whose screen was still functional.
Accidentally, his eyes fell on the transfer record on the chat log.
Joslyn had just transferred fifty thousand dollars to Blair.
He knew it was wrong to peek at other peopleâs chat logs. But it was
Blairâs phone and he felt overwhelmed by the urge to know more about her. Besides, who wasnât going
to be curious after seeing a transfer log of fifty grand?
He stole a glance at Blair. She was pulling some more tissues. Silently and quickly, pretending to wipe
the phone, he scrolled up and down the chat log, fast reading her messages with Joslyn. Before she
could shift her eyes back to her phone, Wesley already had a general idea of what was going on.
Cecelia was talking with Baldwin over the phone at that moment. When she saw that Blairâs phone was
completely soaked in the soybean milk, she comforted the girl, âDonât be upset, Blair. Your phone is old.
Iâll buy you a new one soon.â She had already noticed the previous night that Blairâs phone was an old
model worth only about a hundred dollars.
Blair shook her head.
âAunt, donât bother. Itâs still functional. I am not that interested in phones and Iâll buy a new one when it
really stops working.â
Her words caught Wesleyâs attention. He had just witnessed another side of Blair. According to what he
could read from the chat log, she was going to buy Cecelia a gift using the money Joslyn had
transferred.
Fifty thousand dollars was a large amount for Blair. However, she wasnât even going to buy a new
phone for herself. Even if she were to spend a thousand dollars on Cecelia, she could easily have
afforded to buy a good phone for her own self. But she didnât want to!
âSheâs so generous to my mom but mean to herself. What a strange girt,
* Wesley thought to himself.
âWhy not buy a new one today? Do you like this phone very much? How long have you used it?â
Wesley asked casually while still holding her phone in his hand.
Blair thought for a Little while and then explained, âMy previous phone was broken when I was in South
Mountain. After I was rescued, Miller bought me this one. That was only a few months ago. Itâs not so
old.â
The next second, before she knew what had happened, her phone was in the bowl of soybean milk
once again. âWhat the hell?â she thought.
Wesley apologized in a nonchalant voice, âOh, I am sorry. It slipped off my hand.â
