Burning Passion: Love Never Die

‘Have a seat next to Mom.’ It sounded innocent, but he knew it was a trick from his younger brother. If he took the seat arranged by Niles then he’d have Cecelia on his right and Blair on his left.

Niles sat next to Blair and Wacian sat on the other side of Niles.

Normally, Niles should exchange seats with Blair and sit next to his own brother.

However, the young doctor pretended he knew nothing about it. He quickly sat in between Blair and Wacian after gesturing to his brother.

Wesley was baffled. He sat next to his mom earlier, so he had no other choice now. Making a fuss would be uncalled for.

Hartwell wasn’t fooled, either. He angrily looked between Blair and

Wesley. When he was about to ask Blair to change seats, Adalson cut in to urge the baffled man, “Sit down, Wesley. Everyone’s here. Your grandfather must be pooped after that plane ride. Let’s finish up early so that the old guy can get some rest. We can talk later if we need to.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Wesley nodded, pulled out the chair and sat down. After the waiters placed the dishes on the table, they all took their chopsticks and dug in.

In the middle of dinner, Adalson invited the Leonard family to stay at his villa, but Baldwin nixed that idea.

“We’ll stay with Wesley. He has enough room for us, I think. Please don’t put yourself out.”

Adalson stared at his old friend.

“C’mon, we’re friends. Why so formal?

Mi casa es su casa.”

Baldwin laughed.

“Of course we’re friends. But I’m sure Wesley wouldn’t mind. Maybe next time we’ll storm your three- story villa.”

“Bwahaha…” They broke into a fit of Laughter.

Blair silently Lowered her head to eat her food. Niles moved his chair a bit closer to her and whispered, “Blair.”

She took a second to chew the food in her mouth and swallow it.

“Yeah?”

“That true? You’re engaged?”

“Well… yes.”

Confusion was written all over his face.

“Why? I thought you were crushing on my brother,” he asked.

Blair almost choked on her saliva. ‘Cut it out! Your brother can hear us, ‘ she thought helplessly in her mind.

She was right. Wesley did hear their conversation and shot a warning glance at Niles.
