Chapter 1716
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âThis is one of Carlosâ apartments, but he has never lived here once.
Itâs almost as good as new. The developer of the Eastern Coastal
Apartments works for him. Carlos promised to give me a fifty percent discount,â he told Blair. Carlos
had initially offered to give Wesley the apartment as a gift, but Wesley turned it down. Left with no
choice, Carlos offered to give him a fifty percent discount instead.
The apartment was valued at about 26 million dollars, so now, Wesley only needed to pay just a little
over 10 million dollars.
âHe wants to buy the apartment just because itâs close to my workplace!â Blair opened her mouth, but
didnât know what to say. âWhy is he going out of his way to do this for me? The apartment would still
cost at least 10 million dollars even with the fifty percent discount.
Does this mean he actually has feelings for me?â
âWesleyâ¦â Her voice was soft and carried a hint of affection.
Wesley looked her in the eye.
Tears welled up in Blairâs eyes.

âIf you donât like me, then you should stop taking care of me.â
It had been a long time since Wesley said that he didnât like her. He pursed his Lips and said, âMy mom
Likes you. A lot. So I need to Like you too. Sheâll be happy to see you live in a safe and comfortable
place.â âAs long as Mom is happy, Iâm happy too, â he thought.
But as soon as he said the words, he realized how Lame of an excuse it was.
The softness on Blairâs expression instantly vanished and turned into a scowl. âSo heâs being nice to
me only because his mom Likes me? Nothing else? If I didnât know any better, Iâd probably just think
heâs a mamaâs boy.
Ugh! I feel so tired!â She forced a smile and waved at him.
âGood night.â
Without saying another word, she turned around and walked back into her bedroom.
Wesley silently watched as she closed the door behind her, and then entered his own bedroom.
Lying in bed, Blair turned and rolled. She forced her eyes closed, but sleep still wouldnât come. She
wasnât really in the mood to read a book either, so she just lay there, awake. When it was already past
midnight, she suddenly sat up. She stared at the package of perfume and lipstick on the nightstand and
then got out of bed.
âI wonder if Wesley is already asleep, â she thought.
She picked up the perfume and lipstick and left her bedroom. Standing outside Wesleyâs bedroom, she
knocked on the door once, but there was no response.
She knocked again. Still nothing.
âIs he asleep? Or maybe I should just knock on the door harder?â she mused.
After a short pause, she knocked on the door for the third time. This time, the door opened.
Wesley was not asleep; he was just taking a shower. âDid he just finish showering? Or was he still in
the middle of it when I knocked?â she wondered. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, and his hair
was still dripping wet.
Blair was suddenly dumbstruck. This was the second time that she had seen Wesley wearing nothing
but a towel. She had previously told herself that she would be a cheating dog if she still held any sort of
attraction towards him.
