A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

Each of the seven white roses was elegant and full. I admired them closely.

Suddenly, Teri leaned in and asked, “Ari, have you noticed something?”

“What?” I asked.

She pointed to my face. “Look in the mirror.”

Curious, I glanced at my reflection and was taken aback. My face was glowing with a bright, genuine smile. My eyes sparkled, and my lips curved in a way that felt almost impossible to contain.

It was such a contrast to how I had looked just two weeks ago when I was discharged from the hospital. Back then, I had felt exhausted and lifeless. Now, I looked vibrant and cheerful.

I couldn’t help but touch my face in surprise.

Teri leaned in even closer. “Come on! Are these from Mr. Wood?”

Panic set in as I quickly fabricated a lie. “No! They’re from a store I’ve shopped at before. They send birthday gifts to their VIP customers.”

Teri looked skeptical. “Really?”

To keep her from probing further, I nodded vigorously.

Disappointment flickered across Teri’s face, but she quickly furrowed her brows in thought. “Wait a minute -today isn’t your birthday.”

“Oh, It’s not? I must have gotten the dates mixed up. Anyway, they were running a promotion at the store, so I just grabbed a bouquet.”

I wasn’t too concerned about whether Teri believed my explanation. I quickly pushed past her and locked myself in my room.

Just as I locked it, Lora approached. Teri asked, “Is she hiding something?”

Lora smiled and replied, “I just got here, so I’m not in the loop.”

Teri pressed on, “Is Mr. Wood really good to Ari? Does he have feelings for her?”

Lora’s expression turned serious. “Mr. Wood is a decent man. He stands out from many of the men you see these days.”

Teri didn’t push further.

Meanwhile, in my room, I pulled out the card. It read, “Wishing Ms. York joy and peace in your new home. Best regards, Logan“.

His handwriting was elegant, reminiscent of someone who had honed their skills in calligraphy.

Even though it was just a card, I carefully tucked it into a book for safekeeping. I wasn’t entirely

y sure why! felt compelled to keep it, but something about it felt significant as if it represented something beautiful.

As I was daydreaming in my room, the doorbell rang. Thinking it might be Logan, I quickly changed into a Tong dress.

Just as I was about to tidy my messy hair, I heard a commotion outside. Confused, I realized it wasn’t him. I grabbed a comb and headed out.

At the front door stood Jocelyn while Teri blocked the entrance, her expression clearly displeased.

Teri wasn’t holding back. Jocelyn, how did you find us here? Are you stalking us?”

Jocelyn was dressed in a black–and–white Chanel haute couture that made her look as if she were attending a funeral. However, I lowered my eyes in disgust.

Jocelyn’s eyes lit up when she saw me. “Ms. York, please don’t misunderstand. I just happened to see the address on Elijah’s phone…”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I frowned. “I never gave Mr. Linden my address. Did he investigate me?”

Jocelyn looked upset. “I’m not sure either. I just saw Elijah chatting with someone, and that’s how I found out about this address.”

Happened to see? I scoffed. “That’s quite a coincidence. Does Elijah know you’ve been snooping thresh his phone?”
