Shortly after, Carlos’ phone rang. He already knew who was calling.
Swiping the screen, he said over the phone without any greeting, “I asked her what she wanted. She chose to leave Alorith. Wesley, I didn’t force her to leave.”
All the curse words which Wesley had prepared for Carlos were stuck in his throat. He swallowed them and tried to collect himself. After a pause, he asked, “So, she did leave on her own…”
“Yes.”
Wesley punched his fist on the wall next to him.

Can’t you just mind your own business and stay out of my affairs?”
Carlos wasn’t angry.
“You’re my friend, Wesley. You’ve known Blair longer than I’ve known Debbie. You two have kept your issues unsolved for ten years. A decade, man. Is it that much fun?”
Wesley snarled, “Yes, it’s fun! All I want is to have her by my side!”
“Blair should be with me; that’s where she belongs, ‘ he thought irrationally.
Carlos sighed.
“Do you think you can win her over by forcing her to stay with you? She doesn’t want another man, and you don’t want to be with any other woman either. You love her, so why do you have to torture yourself and her? Why can’t you just live peacefully with her?”

Carlos had made sgrave mistakes in his own life, but as an outsider in Wesley and Blair’s story, he could see their problems clearly. As they say, “Lookers-on see more than the players.”
Wesley clenched his teeth and snapped, “I proposed marriage to her, and she said no!”
Carlos sneered, “She proposed to you a long tago, but you refused her even more mercilessly. Don’t you remember that?” His words were like a dagger to Wesley’s heart.

Then the call was disconnected.
Debbie was curious about what Carlos had just said.
“Blair had proposed marriage to Wesley?”
He put his phone away and nodded, “Yes. A Long tago. But Wesley turned her down in front of a few hundred soldiers.” Blair’s uncle was
Wesley’s superior at that time. He had given Blair the privilege to show up at the troop camp where Wesley was, draped in a wedding dress.
Debbie knitted her eyebrows deeply after hearing their story. Indeed, men could be very ruthless when they didn’t love you. Just like how
Carlos had been when he was amnesiac.
She asked, “Do you know where Blair is now?”
