Chapter 1720
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
But did Miller tell you I decided to forget that guy and spend the rest of my life with my husband-to-be?â
Hearing this, Gertrude glared at Miller. The son turned his head to look out the window again
sheepishly.
It didnât take a rocket scientist to figure out that he made it all
Blairâs fault when he had told his mom why he and Blair broke up.
âYou know that I went to England after I got engaged to Miller. I never saw the soldier afterwards. I was
out of the country and he couldnât see me unless he was deployed over there. I never called him, not
even once,â Blair said.
She did see Wesley during the New Year, but that was an accident. She didnât see the point telling
Miller and his mom about it.
âI never cheated on Miller. He did. Those are the facts. What he did was unforgivable. Cheating and
abuse are the same. Once started, it will never end. Once a cheater, always a cheater. So, Iâm sorry.
Thereâs no way. Things are starting to fall into place, and Iâm happy now.â
Rejected, Miller got sad and upset.
Gertrude continued to try to convince Blair. She wore an embarrassed smile.
âBlair, I like you. Take some time and think it over. If you agree to marry Miller, Iâll buy you a new house
and a new car that is worth at least $100, 000. And Iâll put both of them in your name.â
Blair knew Gertrudeâs type. To bring up her children, she had been thrifty all her life. But now, to make
Blair come back to Miller, she had promised her a house and a car; she was really making a sacrifice
for her son.
Blair replied with a smile, âThank you, but Iâve made up my mind
Miller should find a girl who really loves him. Weâre just not compatible.â

Gertrude wasnât happy. She was almost begging Blair, but the girl wasnât budging at all. She felt
humiliated. The smile on her face disappeared. She said in a hostile tone, âYou used my son first. You
flirted with another guy while you were with Miller. You wouldnât sleep with my son, so he went
elsewhere for pleasure. But that wasnât just any woman, it was his boss. It was just a fling. Why canât
you just let it go?â
Blair couldnât believe it. âSo it was my fault Miller cheated on me? I didnât want to have sex before
marriage so that makes it okay?â
She took a deep breath and gave the mother and son a wry smile.
âI already did. Miller and I have been apart for a while. In fact, I never brought it up. But you did. That
was the whole reason you invited me over today. Never mind. Weâre done. Bye.â
Blair had hoped to have a nice meal with Gertrude. Now she just wanted to be gone. She grabbed her
purse and left the table.
Miller stood up abruptly and commanded, âStop!â
Their table was in the lobby with many people around. His voice echoed through the room. Everyone
turned to them when they heard Miller
The curious gazes made Blair flush with embarrassment. Without turning around, she left the
restaurant hastily.
She planned to take a bus home. But Miller caught up to her before she could go far after she left. He
grabbed her wrist. Seeing who it was,
Blair pulled away.
âDammit, Miller, weâre done talking.â
