Burning Passion: Love Never Die

One night, Cecelia called Niles on his landline. She got through very quickly.

“I called your brother, but he’s not picking up. Since you’re in town, could you go check on him?” she asked

“Um… good evening, Mrs. Cecelia,” said a woman’s voice on the other end.

Cecelia was confused. She checked the number. She dialed it right.

“Oh, that’s right. You’re… Blair?” Cecelia asked with uncertainty.

“Yes. It’s me. I stay—” Blair was going to tell her why she was in

Niles’ apartment. She didn’t want her to think it was a love nest or something.

But Cecelia interrupted her. She said excitedly, “Mrs. Cecelia? Why so formal? Just call me ‘Mom.’ I didn’t interrupt anything, did I?”

‘Mom?’ Blair was shocked, realizing Cecelia had really gotten it wrong.

“No, I-” She wanted to explain that she and Niles weren’t a couple

“That’s good. I’m just calling to check on you. Don’t stay up too late.

Tell Niles I’ll be in town to see you when I can. Good night.” Cecelia hung up before Blair could say a word.

Blair was left speechless. Cecelia jumped out of bed and rushed into the study where her husband was.

“Good news! Good news! We’re going to be in-laws!” she exclaimed, beaming.

Baldwin took off his glasses and looked at her in bewilderment.

“What’s going on?” “Blair and your son are living together!” She grinned from ear to ear.

“Really? Which son?”

“Niles, of course. He’s smooth, unlike Wesley. That boy wouldn’t know love if it bit him.” Cecelia recalled the pic Niles sent her when he was in England. A selfie of him and Blair. They made a cute couple.

She had a sneaking suspicion Niles was there for pleasure, rather than business. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Just then, a figure with a cane made his way to the doorway.

“Cecelia, are you sure?”

Cecelia turned around. Keith stood there, staring at them. He probably heard everything.

Cecelia walked over to him with a big smile.

“Yeah, Dad. I just called

Niles, and Blair answered. They’re either Living together or on a date.
