A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

The man took advantage of the chaos to hop into his car and quickly spor away.

In the passenger seat, Teri and I felt tense and anxious. The man navigated through a maze of streets before finally coming to a halt in a secluded area.

As he opened the door, Teri and I stood trembling by the roadside. The man got out of the car and pulled out a cigarette.

With a smile, he asked, “So, Ari, how do you plan to thank me for today?”

The way he addressed me sent a shiver down my spine, and suddenly it clicked. “Are you Norman?”

“Yes.” Norman leaned casually against the car door and lit his cigarette. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s a bit disappointing that it took you this long to recognize me,” he added.

I awkwardly replied, “I didn’t notice you earlier with all the commotion, but thank you for stepping in and helping us.”

Teri then asked, “And who might you be?”

Norman smiled, a cigarette dangling from his lips. “Let me introduce myself–I’m Norman Wood, an admirer of Ms. York.”

My face flushed instantly. “Stop! Don’t say things like that! Teri, he’s Logan’s younger brother.”

“I’m not lying, Ari. Did you receive the flowers I sent?”

I widened my eyes in surprise. “You sent those?”

Norman’s smile broadened. “Who else could it be? Logan picked up on it immediately.”

I was even more shocked. “He knew it was you? Why didn’t he tell me?”

Norman chuckled. “Why would he? Logan’s the type who holds onto grudges and waits for the perfect moment to settle the score,” he said, curling his lip in disdain at Logan’s behavior.

The tension in the air was palpable.

Teri tugged at my sleeve. “We should head back.”

Norman shot us a sideways glance. “Are you really just going to leave like that?”

I replied, “Well… I thank you properly another time. We really need to go. It’s not safe out here at night.”

Norman grinned confidently. “As long as I’m around, no one in Halton City would dare mess with you.”

Teri chimed in, “Then why don’t you teach that jerk Elijah a lesson?”

Norman chuckled. “I can’t do that.”

Teri’s frustration was evident. “Why not?”

Norman shot me a knowing smirk. “Because Logan wants to handle Elijah himself. He won’t allow anyone else to step in.”

I was even more taken aback, and Teri looked equally incredulous. She scrutinized Norman with suspicion. “Where did you hear that? How is it even possible? Elijah is a well–known figure-”

Norman scoffed. “Well–known? That’s a joke. I could take him out without breaking a sweat. But since Logan wants to deal with it himself, I won’t steal his thunder:”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

s revelations were significant, and I struggled to believe any of it. If he weren’t Logan’s younger brother, I would probably think he was trying to pull a scam on us.

Teri–appeared intrigued and kept firing questions at Norman, but I had lost interest. I grabbed her arm and started to pull her away.

Just then, Norman stepped in front of us, blocking our path. “Wait a moment. Since we’re out, why not join me for a drink at a bar?”

I frowned. “I don’t drink.”

Teri clearly wanted to go, but seeing my expression made her reconsider following Norman. Under the streetlights, his captivating smile and striking good looks almost felt unreal.

He asked, “Ari, what’s your favorite flower?”

The question took me by surprise. After a moment, I snapped back to reality and frowned. “Don’t be so familiar. Mr. Wood, please call me Ms. York.” I stressed the name “Mr. Wood” as firmly as I could.

Norman’s eyes flickered with a complex mix of emotions as he looked at me with clear interest.

I quickly bid him farewell. “I’ll find a way to thank you for tonight, but it’s getting late, and we really need to head back.”

With that, I grabbed Teri and quickly hailed a cab. As the cab pulled away, I glanced back and saw Norman leaning against his black Ferrari, seemingly smiling.

The entire situation felt bewildering, but I quickly pushed those thoughts aside.
