A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

I stood up from the stool and walked toward Logan. My palms were sweating, and my heart was racing, but I knew I couldn’t lose my composure in this setting. Not only would it be embarrassing for me, but it would also reflect poorly on Logan.

When Elijah walked in, Logan immediately raised his glass in a silent gesture, an unreadable smile playing on his lips. Then, he called out to me softly. “Ari, come here.”

Elijah’s face, which had been calm, suddenly darkened with disbelief as he saw me walking toward Logan.

I reached his side, and Logan, still with that amused expression, offered me his arm. Together, we faced a shocked Elijah.

Logan leaned in slightly, his voice steady and reassuring. “Ari, don’t worry.”

I nodded, trying to suppress the panic building inside me. I was definitely nervous, but deep down, I trusted Logan.

He wasn’t the type to make a scene just to embarrass me or Elijah. There had be a reason for all of this, and he didn’t care what anyone else thought.

Elijah, finally breaking his stunned silence, spoke with a deep frown. “Mr. Wood, was this really necessary?

But before Logan could reply, Mr. Maynard stepped in, laughing amiably. “Ah, Mr. Linden! It’s good to see you! Young people need to get out more and socialize. It’ll keep them from acting rashly.”

Upon hearing this, I immediately realized that Mr. Maynard was in on whatever was happening tonight. He wasn’t just a guest, but rather someone who had orchestrated this dinner. All eyes were on us now.

Logan, who was still holding my arm, remained calm and collected. “Mr. Linden, Ari and I have known each other since we were kids. You could say we grew up together. Unfortunately, we lost touch for the past ten years.”

I tightened my grip on his arm. A thought was forming in my mind, but I didn’t dare fully acknowledge it

yet.

Elijah scoffed, his tone filled with mockery. “So what?”

He sneered at me, his eyes filled with disdain. “Ariana, I knew you’d move on to something better. You’ve really changed–you’re not the same person you used to be.”

I ignored his taunts, refusing to dignify them with a response. Thankfully, Logan cut him off.

“Mr. Linden, I wasn’t finished.”

Elijah, still seething, replied coldly, “Fine, Mr. Wood. Go ahead.”

Logan’s smile didn’t falter. “What I wanted to say is that I’ve already missed ten years with her, and I’m not going to miss another day. So, Mr. Linden, it’s time to let go.”

Upon hearing that, Elijah let out a bitter laugh, his eyes blazing with fury. Though he laughed, there was no joy behind it.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

His face grew darker, and even Jocelyn, standing beside him, looked uneasy. When Elijah finally stopped Yaughing, his voice was icy as he said, “So what you’re saying, Mr. Wood, is that even if she’s my wife, you’re willing to steal her from me?”

The mood in the room shifted, and everyone frowned. These men were no strangers to conflict, but Elijah’s blunt accusation crossed a line. He had torn away the veneer of politeness, leaving no room for retreat.

Logan didn’t flinch. In fact, he didn’t even blink. With the same courteous smile, he replied, “Mr. Linden, you’re mistaken. Ari has already decided to divorce you. Her lawyers are drafting the papers.”

Elijah’s voice dropped to a dangerously low volume. “Mr. Wood, are you threatening me?”

Logan’s response was calm and measured. “No. I’m informing you.”

Then, with unwavering confidence, Logan turned to the room. “To all the distinguished elders who have watched me grow up, and to the respected leaders of the business world here tonight, I want to make something clear–I love Miss Ariana York, and I am deeply serious about her.”
