It hadn’t been that long since she proposed to him, but she was already engaged to another man. That was beyond ridiculous. Why did she rush into marriage like that?
He then shifted his gaze to scrutinize her fiance. Miller Looked very ordinary and about ten years older than Blair. Wesley wondered what her uncle had to say about this. Or if he even knew.
His mind was filled with a lot of questions that stung his heart Like bees. Yet, he acted nonchalant and shook hands with Miller politely.
Miller looked at Wesley’s military outfit.
“Wesley, thank you for taking care of my fiancee for me,“ he said unctuously.

“My fiance, my fiancee…’ Wesley’s face fell as he heard these words.
But he said nothing and merely nodded his head.
After the small talk, Miller walked off, two suitcases on wheels and two bags on his back, and carefully escorted Blair into the elevator.
Wesley stood and watched how Miller treated Blair. It was how marriage should be-nice and comfortable.

Before the elevator doors closed, the woman inside the elevator made eye contact with the man in the hallway, their eyes full of complicated emotions. But Miller didn’t notice the silent exchange between the two.
The doors closed. Standing in the silent, empty corridor of the 16th floor, Wesley felt lost. Blair had left, and he felt a hole inside his body where his heart was supposed to be.
Miller wasn’t rich. His house downtown was nothing compared to her space in Hillside Apartments. But Blair didn’t mind. She moved all her belongings there and stayed in Miller’s house.
The next day, Joslyn, Hartwell and Miller saw Blair off at the airport.
They didn’t leave the airport until they saw Blair pass through security smoothly.
When Miller was about to leave, Joslyn suddenly called out to him.

Without hesitation, Miller nodded his head.
“Sure. Thanks for hooking us up. Don’t worry, I’ll treat her right.”
Joslyn was satisfied with his assurance.
But the truth was, she didn’t introduce Miller to Blair. She wouldn’t hook Blair up with someone who wasn’t rich and couldn’t give her a comfortable life. When Blair was on a blind date, Miller was at the srestaurant, on a blind date too. His table was right next to
Blair’s.
Blair wasn’t really clicking with her date, but Miller seemed a lot nicer.
Coincidentally, things didn’t work out between Miller and his blind date, either. After the girl left, Blair walked over to his table and struck up a conversation. In the end, they hit it off and decided to go out
with each other.
Miller bade farewell to Joslyn and Hartwell. After he left, Joslyn got into Hartwell’s car.
