True Love Waits novel Chapter 598

"Blair, I didn't know that you and Miller had broken up until recently," Gertrude continued. At this point, she sighed and glared at her son who was looking out the window. "Miller told me what happened. He was wrong, but you were too. You'd been engaged for two years, but you wouldn't sleep with him. Why do you think he cheated?"

Blair took a sip of water and said nothing.

Gertrude went on, "I heard that you were sweet on a soldier, but he didn't like you back; and that you got with Miller to make that guy jealous. That was also wrong. Now Miller has admitted his mistake. You can too. Give him a second chance, get married, and be happy. How about that?"

Her words made Blair feel sad. It was like the whole world knew Wesley didn't like her.

Gertrude secretly tugged at Miller's sleeve. Miller turned to look at Blair. "I'm sorry, Blair. I hurt you, and I regret it. Can we get back together? Can you take me back?" he said.

Miller would do anything his mom told him to. Blair knew that. His mom probably arranged the meeting, and ordered him to apologize.

Blair pursed her lips and said, "You're both right. I liked someone before I got engaged to Miller, and I got engaged to get back at him. But did Miller tell you I decided to forget that guy and spend the rest of my life with my husband-to-be?"

Hearing this, Gertrude glared at Miller. The son turned his head to look out the window again sheepishly.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he made it all Blair's fault when he had told his mom why he and Blair broke up.

"You know that I went to England after I got engaged to Miller. I never saw the soldier afterwards. I was out of the country and he couldn't see me unless he was deployed over there. I never called him, not even once," Blair said.

She did see Wesley during the Spring Festival, but that was an accident. She didn't see the point telling Miller and his mom about it.

"I never cheated on Miller. He did. Those are the facts. What he did was unforgivable. Cheating and abuse are the same. Once started, it will never end. Once a cheater, always a cheater. So, I'm sorry. There's no way. Things are starting to fall into place, and I'm happy now."

Rejected, Miller got sad and upset.

Gertrude continued to try to convince Blair. She wore an embarrassed smile. "Blair, I like you. Take some time and think it over. If you agree to marry Miller, I'll buy you a new house and a new car that is worth at least $100, 000. And I'll put both of them in your name."

Blair knew Gertrude's type. To bring up her children, she had been thrifty all her life. But now, to make Blair come back to Miller, she had promised her a house and a car; she was really making a sacrifice for her son.

Blair replied with a smile, "Thank you, but I've made up my mind. Miller should find a girl who really loves him. We're just not compatible."

Gertrude wasn't happy. She was almost begging Blair, but the girl wasn't budging at all. She felt humiliated. The smile on her face disappeared. She said in a hostile tone, "You used my son first. You flirted with another guy while you were with Miller. You wouldn't sleep with my son, so he went elsewhere for pleasure. But that wasn't just any woman, it was his boss. It was just a fling. Why can't you just let it go?"

Blair couldn't believe it. 'So it was my fault Miller cheated on me? I didn't want to have sex before marriage so that makes it okay?'

She took a deep breath and gave the mother and son a wry smile. "I already did. Miller and I have been apart for a while. In fact, I never brought it up. But you did. That was the whole reason you invited me over today. Never mind. We're done. Bye."
