Chapter 1762
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Blair sat up and blinked her innocent eyes, her head in a mess.
âHartwell, Colonel Wesley, what a coincidence!â
âItâs not a coincidence! Iâm here to pick you up,â Wesley said with a serious expression on his firmly set
face. He was always so straightforward. There was not a moment when his expression would show his
feelings.
Blair, Joslyn and Hartwell almost burst out Laughing. âIs he always so serious? Even before his family?â
they wondered.
Blair tried her best to hold back her laughter. She didnât want
Hartwell to misunderstand her relationship with Wesley, so she said in a flat tone, âThanks for your
kindness, Colonel Wesley. I think IâLL go with Hartwell.â
Hartwell, however, felt something wasnât right. He laid her lies bare for all to see.
âEnough, Blair! Do you think Iâm an idiot? Do you think you can fool me?â he snapped.
When she heard what Hartwell said, Blair was stunned. âWhat does he mean?â She turned to look at
Joslyn, but her friend just shook her head and looked back with innocent eyes.
âI didnât tell him,â Joslyn said with a shrug.

âStop it! Whose car are you riding in?â Hartwell repeated his question.
He knew Blair was playing dumb.
âI want to come with you,â Blair said in a low voice.
Hartwell took a deep breath and fought off the impulse to roll his eyes.
âYou asked Wesley to pick you up. Why ride with me? Just take his car.â
Wesley was confused. âBlair didnât call me to pick her up! Sounds like she didnât call Hartwell either.
And heâs only here to pick Joslyn up.â
Blair nodded her head obediently. She was so tired her eyes kept closing involuntarily. She was micro-
napping and wanted nothing more than a bed.
âFine, Iâll go with him. Have a safe drive.â She grabbed her purse and got to her feet.
A moment later, she regretted it. Her head spun, and she was so drunk she couldnât feel her legs. She
staggered and fell forward.
Luckily, Wesley was quick. He pulled her into his arms, preventing her from falling to the floor.
Blair held onto Wesleyâs arms and tried to get her footing. After all,
Hartwell was still here. But her efforts were for naught. She was Like a fawn, trying to stand for the first
time. Her Legs were shaky, and couldnât hold her.
Wesley had no choice but to scoop her up in his arms. He nodded at
Hartwell and said, âDonât worry. Iâll get her home safe.â
Hartwell hesitated. It was not that he didnât believe him, but Wesley was a man, and Blair was drunk.
People get stupid when theyâre drunk.
