A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic
Chapter 63

Lora said, “Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. That must be Mr. Wood.”

As the door swung open, another delivery arrived. This time, it was a bouquet of pink lilies. These lilies were significantly larger than the roses, making the entire bouquet look impressively massive.

Both Lora and I were taken aback. The delivery person asked me to sign for the flowers. As I did, he remarked, “I noticed a lot of people staring at these pink lilies on my way here. Is someone celebrating a birthday?”

I was confused. “Are these really for me? Could there have been a mistake?”

The delivery person asked, “Are you Ariana York?” I nodded in response.

After confirming the address and my name, he smiled and said, “There’s no mistake. I need to y to my next delivery.” With that, he quickly left.

Lora and I stared at the two large bouquets. Before she could say anything, I quickly asserted, “These aren’t from Mr. Wood.”

I headed back to my room to text Logan about the flowers. However, after waiting for a while without a response, I reluctantly made my way back to the living room.

When I walked in, I saw that Lora had already arranged the roses in vases. A fleeting thought of someone crossed my mind. I picked up my phone, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed a number.

“Hello? Ari?” A familiar voice greeted me on the other end of the line.

After a moment of contemplation, I quickly hung up. Just as I was about to block the number, my phone rang again. After a brief moment of hesitation, I answered the call.

“Hello? Mr. Linden?”

Elijah’s voice was unexpectedly relaxed. “What’s up? Anana, have you had a change of heart?*

I frowned. “Change of heart? I just wanted to ask you something.”

Elijah replied, “Stop making excuses, Ariana. I know you’ve come to terms with this.”

He paused before softening his tone. “Ari, we can work through this. I’m willing to accept any conditions you have as long as you stop causing a scene.”

A wave of nausea washed over me when I heard his words. “I’m not causing a scene. I just called to ask who sent these flowers. Was it you?”

Elijah chuckled softly on the other end of the line. “How could it possibly be me? Ari, did you really call just to ask about a story you made up?”

“What?” I replied, confused.

Elijah sighed deeply. “You haven’t changed a bit over the years. Remember how, whenever you saw me with another woman, you’d buy yourself flowers and gifts, pretending they were from admirers?

“Have you forgotten? Oh, right, you said you had amnesia.”

He continued earnestly, “Ari, these little tricks won’t work. No one else would want to marry you besides _me.”

I laughed in irritation. “Elijah, I was wrong.

Elijah quickly replied, “Well, it’s good that you acknowledge your mistake…”

But before he could finish, I interrupted him with a cold laugh. “I was wrong to think you were just selfish and stupid. Now, I see that you’re not only annoyingly arrogant but also shockingly dim–witted. Your narcissism is downright revolting.

“Do you really believe you have any charm that would make me obsessed with you? Have you looked in a mirror lately?

“You should take a good hard look at yourself and see what you’re really worth. Stop thinking my life would fall apart without you. You’re so disgusting that makes me want to vomit!

“Let me be honest. I’ve had plenty of admirers, and each one is far better than you ever were at your worst. I must have been out of my mind to settle for you, but now I’ve come to my senses.

“Elijah, please just finalize our divorce and marry Jocelyn. I hope you both stay together forever! Thanks!”

After my outburst, I blocked and deleted his number, finally releasing all my pent–up frustration.

It became clear to me why Elijah had such delusional confidence as an irresistible heartthrob- those years of my infatuation that had spoiled him!

I was so furious that I started pacing around the room, replaceing everything irritating. Just then, my phone rang again.
