Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 1696

Blair narrowed her eyes at Wesley, growing suspicious and a little confused with his behavior. Shewondered if he had been smoking in a corner somewhere.

Wesley chose not to acknowledge Blair’s suspicious gaze and continued to walk towards a phone storeand walked inside. The two ladies exchanged confused glances and eventually followed him inside thestore. Wesley browsed the store’s glass racks and picked out a rather expensive phone for Blair. Shewas about to decline his choice, but

Wesley stopped her before she could protest, saying, “I broke your phone. It’s the least I could do.”

Holding the brand new phone in her hand, Blair discreetly pinched his arm so Cecelia would not notice,and hissed in his ear, “What are you doing? You idiot. This phone you bought me is worth almost tentimes of my old one. I don’t even dare to take out my new phone when I’m on the streets. I’m afraid ofbeing robbed.“ More importantly, Blair knew that the phone Wesley was currently using was muchcheaper than the one he just bought. The screen even had a crack on it, but he refused to have itrepaired or buy a new one. Blair did not replace it reasonable that he bought her such an expensive phone.

“If you get robbed, tell me immediately. I’ll help you track the robber down and get your phone back,” hesaid confidently as if it was just a piece of cake for him.

Blair sighed inwardly. She was getting the feeling that Wesley was trying to overindulge her.

The three of them had lunch at a Western restaurant at noon, and then went back to Niles’ apartmentin the afternoon. While Cecelia took her afternoon nap, Blair busied herself with making some dessertsin the kitchen.

Wesley offered to help, but Blair rejected it. He had no choice but to sit in the Living room and watchher go back and forth in the kitchen.

Two hours later, Blair was done with the cooking.

She divided the desserts into two portions, one for Wesley and the other for Cecelia, so she could eaton her plane ride.

She neatly packed the dishes into two separate bags. She called out to

Wesley to inform him.

“This bag is for you. Inside is a box of mooncakes and mung bean cakes. There’s also a cup ofstrawberry milkshake. Rest assured, it’s a new cup. This bag”-she patted the other bag-“is for yourmom. I didn’t prepare a milkshake for her since she can’t take it on the plane. Remember to finish thefood quickly. The weather’s still a little hot, so the food might go bad soon.”

Wesley looked at the bags and nodded.

“Okay.” He then shifted his eyes to his phone again.

Blair pouted, slightly infuriated by Wesley’s indifferent attitude. She let out an exasperated sigh andcontinued packing.

“Go wake your mom up. It’s about time to set out,” she told Wesley without Looking at him.

Wesley stood up from the couch and went to his mom’s room. Cecelia had already woken up a fewmoments ago and was now lying in the bed, talking with Baldwin on the phone. Hearing the knock onthe door, she got out of bed and opened the door. She instantly understood and nodded.

“Wait a moment, dear. I’ll finish packing up,” she said even before Wesley said anything.

Soon afterwards, Wesley and Blair sent Cecelia off at the airport.

On their way back, Blair silently busied herself with her phone. She did not know what to say while theywere alone in the car. She thought that it would probably not be a good idea to mention returningmoney to him at the moment. She had decided that she would save up some money in the bank andpay him back in one lump sum.

Wesley was also silent. He wasn’t really the type to initiate a conversation, nor was he the type to playmusic in the car. And so, they sat in the car in eerie silence.

It didn’t help that they soon got stuck in a traffic jam. After playing on her mobile phone for quite awhile, Blair began to feel sleepy and her eyes became strained. She then leaned her head against thepassenger window and closed her eyes.

Wesley incidentally caught a glimpse of her when he checked the rear view mirror, and asked in a deepgloomy voice, “Feeling bored to be around me?”

His sudden utterance startled Blair, who was about to drift off. She abruptly opened her sleepy eyesand Looked at him in a daze.
