A Love Forgotten

Elijah and Jocelyn were startled.

Elijah asked, “What are you doing?”

Jocelyn didn’t understand my actions either.

I waved my phone and indifferently said, “It’s proof that you’re committing adultery, Mr. Linden. I don’t mind you two continuing to be affectionate with each other to my face, but don’t blame me for being harsh if I get a photo or video of it.”

Only then did Elijah seem to realize how inappropriate he and Jocelyn were being. He hurriedly broke free of her grasp.

Meanwhile, a trace of awkwardness flitted across Jocelyn’s face. She said in embarrassment, “I’m so sorry about that. I only wanted to soothe Elijah. I didn’t mean to…” She sounded like she was about to cry.

Oh, what a pitiful sight.

I turned away, feeling disgustedText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It was such a repulsive trick to pull, but Elijah lapped it up. He immediately wrapped an arm around Jocelyn’s shoulders and snapped at me, “Apologize, Ariana!”

I sneered. “Again? What’s it for now? Because I snapped a photo of you two holding hands and being intimate?”

He lapsed into silence.

Then, Jocelyn said, “Don’t be mad, Ms. York. I really didn’t mean anything

I looked at her seriously. “To tell the truth, Ms. Comell, the current me doesn’t love Elijah. You can bet that I’ll divorce him. But all I ask is that you stop pulling these cheap tricks.”

She frowned. “I’m not.”

I sneered. “Aren’t you? Why do you keep calling me Ms. York, then? Before Elijah and I divorce, you should address me as Mrs. Linden. Also, you keep addressing my husband so intimately to my face. Anyone else would’ve already slapped you silly.”

Jocelyn’s face immediately turned red. She covered her face and hurried back into the car while sobbin

Elijah stared at me. After a while, he asked, “What did you just say? What do you mean you don’t love me? Explain yourself!”

I didn’t want to talk to him anymore, but I still had to make him get the situation straight. I enunciated, “I don’t love you anymore, Elijah.”

18–year–old Ariana York didn’t love Elijah Linden. Even if the old me had been madly in love with him, his actions clearly showed how he could disrespect and insult his wife.

So what if he was the most outstanding man in the world? He was like poison to me.

I took advantage of Elijah’s momentary daze to turn and leave. However, he grabbed me from behind and roared, “Make yourself clear, Ariana! What do you mean you don’t love me anymore? Who have you fallen for then? That Wood guy?”

He was initially doubtful, but he soon felt sure that he was right. “When did you secretly latch onto him? Is it because he’s richer than me and has more connections?”

I shook his hand off. “You’re seriously insane. You should get your head checked at the hospital”

Eliah calmed down and continued, “What exactly do you want, Ariana?”

“A divorce,” I said

“No way! I can agree to anything but that

Elijah then looked at my bandaged shoulder and arm and softened his tone. He said. “Enough of this, Arijana Let’s talk about this when we get home

With an awkward expression, Elijah pulled out his phone and said, “Il call a cab for you?

| laughed.

He was making his wife take a cab while his mistress rode in his car, huh?

Without waiting for him to respond, I turned and hurried out of the parking lot. Every second I spent there made the nauseous.
