A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic
Chapter 49

Annoyed, I turned around and sneered. “He’s out of my league, but not out of yours, right? You wish you could marry into the Wood family, don’t you?”

As though I had seen through her hidden desire, Ruby flew into a rage. She snapped, “Ariana, you bitch! Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?”

My head hurt badly, and my heart was aching, I didn’t want to argue with Ruby, so I turned to leave.

Relentless, Ruby grabbed me. “Stop right there. We’re not done yet.”

I staggered.

Ruby then yanked down the collar of my dress, and my shoulders were exposed to the sunlight.

I quickly pulled it back up and scolded, “What are you doing?”

Ruby was startled. She still remembered that previously when she pushed me, she was driven out of the Wood residence. Now, she was much more civil with me and dared not attack me again.

“Oh, where did this fiery beauty come from? I love the flushed look on your face,” a languorous voice sounded from behind me. The voice was nonchalant and languid, much like a sunbathing leopard.

I furrowed my brow.

Just then, a tall figure ambled over from the living room entrance. Because of the backlighting, I couldn’t see his face, but he appeared to be enveloped by a ring of light.

He was dressed in a light gray blazer and snow–white dress pants. Three buttons on his shirt were left. open, and a light gray silk tie rested untied on his neck His entire being exuded a distinctive sense of ease and languor.

He walked closer to us, and I could finally see his face

I was stunned for a moment.

This man was gorgeous!

His deep facial features were as distinct as those of a marble sculpture. His prominent brows dipped into his sideburns, and his slightly narrowed eyes were enchanting.

He had a straight nose while his lips were thin and sensuous. His soft facial shape gave him a somewhat androgynous appearance too.

He raised his brow and looked at me with a half–smile.

His gaze pierced through my heart like a knife.

I was shocked.

This man bore some resemblance to Logan. However, while Logan’s beauty was classic and gentle, that of a charming gentleman, this man’s beauty seemed to be more unique.

I figured that he was related to the Wood family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown up here, nor would he look so similar to Logan.

Unsurprisingly, when Ruby saw him, she appeared as if she had spotted an ally. She rushed over to him and asked, “Norman, what’s brought you here?”

The young man pushed her away with a grin. “Ruby, how could you argue with our guest? Where’s your manners?”

Ruby’s expression shifted. She pointed at me. “Do you know who she is? She’s Ariana York! Logan brought her home. I have no idea why.”

The young man walked to me, his insolent eyes scanning me up and down.

I couldn’t stand his impolite gaze. My face turned cold, and I turned to go upstairs.

“Hey, Ms. York. Are you not going to say hi?” the young man spoke with a smile. “I’m Norman Wood. A musician.”

I mechanically turned around. “Hello, Mr. Wood.” Then, I looked at Ruby and drily said, “Please excuse me. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll head upstairs.”

Upon seeing that I was leaving, Ruby tugged at Norman and whispered, “Norman, kick her out. Kick her out.”

However, Norman ignored her and simply followed me up the stairs.

I wanted to pretend that he was not there, but when he followed me to the door of my room, I couldn’t stand it anymore.

As I held back my anger, I asked, “Mr. Norman, what are you trying to do?”

Norman grinned and placed his hand against the door

His eyes became even more alluring as he said, “Nothing. Ij Logan brought home is.”
