Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Blair shrugged and sat at the dining room table, waiting for the two

Talbot’s cooking skills were amazing, like he said. Blair raved about the dishes, telling him what a terrific cook he was.

The cook, however, blushed. He tried to change the topic.

“Have some more. Try this Chinese yam. Easy on the stomach and good for healing.”

Blair nodded.

“Thanks, Talbot.” After she ate it, she exclaimed, “Wow!

That’s really sweet!”

“Of course! I picked it myself. Hey, you know how to pick Chinese yams?” Blair shook her head, so Talbot continued, “Make sure they’re firm all the way around, and the skin isn’t all wrinkled. And you don’t want any cracks in it, either.” It was obvious he was passionate about the subject.

Wesley, who kept silent all this time, watched Talbot continue to heap food onto Blair’s plate while the two Laughed happily. As time went by, anger rose in his heart.

After dinner, Blair sat on the sofa to get some rest.

Talbot cleaned up, while Wesley washed the dishes.

Talbot came over to Wesley and whispered in his ear, “What’s going on,

Chief? Yeah, I saw you at dinner. You sure there’s nothing between you and her?”

Wesley cast a scornful glance at him and asked in reply, “What’s it to your”

Talbot scratched the back of his head and gave him a shy smile. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“I figured I’d ask her out. But if you like her, I’ll back off.”

Wesley pushed him away and spat out, “I don’t like her!” He had a murderous look on his face, his hands balled into fists. Talbot steeled himself in case Wesley tried to swing at him

This was not the way he expected the conversation to go. He took a few steps back, murmuring in a low voice, “Hey, hey. I’ll drop it, okay?

You don’t like her.”

When Wesley said those words, Blair happened to walk past the kitchen

“Hey, who were you guys talking about?” she asked casually.

Talbot was still trying to defuse the situation, and still stunned at

Wesley’s reaction. Without a second thought, he answered casually,

“You.”

Blair and Wesley Lapsed into shocked silence.
