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 seeunless he was deployed over there. I never called him, not even once,” Blair said.

“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 stand 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 cback 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?”

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 invitedover today. Never mind. We’re done. Bye.”
Blair had hoped to have a nice meal with Gertrude. Now she just wanted to be gone. She grabbed her purse and left the table.
Miller stood up abruptly and commanded, “Stop!”
Their table was in the lobby with many people around. His voice echoed through the room. Everyone turned to them when they heard Miller
The curious gazes made Blair flush with embarrassment. Without turning around, she left the restaurant hastily.
She planned to take a bus home. But Miller caught up to her before she could go far after she left. He grabbed her wrist. Seeing who it was,
Blair pulled away.
“Dammit, Miller, we’re done talking.”
