A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah) novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 

I forced a smile and replied, “Thanks.” 

Logan then nudged the menu and said, “Do you want to see what you’d like to eat?” 

I glanced at the menu and noticed it was all in Chessian. I awkwardly admitted, “I can’t read it.” 

“There’s a translated menu.” The restaurant manager promptly gave me the translated menu… 

I took a look at it but still struggled to understand. 

Upon seeing my struggle, Logan smiled and asked, “Still can’t understand it?” 

Embarrassed, I confessed, “My brain… I don’t really remember.” 

I felt dejected. My amnesia had caused me the loss of the past seven years of memories and the knowledge I had during university. 

Now, I felt truly clueless and silly. 

Logan understood immediately and said, “I’m sorry, I overlooked this.” 

As we spoke, a couple walked toward us, holding hands. 

My expression shifted when I saw them, and I immediately covered my face with the menu. 

The couple stopped in their tracks when they saw me, and their expressions went from stunned to embarrassed. 

At that moment, Logan was still studying the menu and wine. He only realized this when he looked up and noticed that I was hiding behind the menu. 

His gaze flickered as he raised his head slightly to look at the couple in front of him. 

The couple quickly approached us. 

Elijah walked over and extended his hand. “Mr. Wood, what a coincidence,” he greeted. 

Logan slowly looked up with a calm expression. “It is quite a coincidence, Mr. Linden.” 

He then glanced at Jocelyn who was dressed in a long, dark blue dress. 

His gaze flickered again. 

Jocelyn extended her hand, her tone laced with a hint of flattery as she said, “Mr. Wood, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s my pleasure to meet you today. 

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Jocelyn Cornell, a student of Professor Dale from Barkley College of Music. I’ll be holding a solo recital in the city’s concert hall soon.” 

Both of them extended their hands, but Logan showed no interest to reciprocate. 

Instead, he turned to the restaurant manager and said, “Change the Lafite we ordered earlier to champagne.” 

He looked at me and gently said, “Ari can’t drink.” 

His behavior put Elijah and Jocelyn in an awkward position. 

Elijah’s expression darkened as he stared at me with fiery eyes. Meanwhile, Jocelyn tugged at him and laughed sweetly. “What better day than today right, Elijah? Since we have something to discuss with Ms. York, let’s just share a table.” 

2/2 

With that, she pulled Elijah to sit down at our table. 

Logan frowned slightly, clearly displeased with the situation. 

Elijah swiftly sat down, though it was evident that he didn’t want to see me, especially not in this setting. 

Nevertheless, I regained my composure and continued to read through the translated menu. 

I had nothing to say to either of them anyway. 

The strange silence made the atmosphere feel extremely uncomfortable. 

Finally, Elijah couldn’t hold back anymore. He said, “Ariana, I wish to have a proper conversation with you.” 

I sarcastically replied, “Mr. Linden, what is it that you’d like to talk about? Is it about the 50 million dollars. I invested in Linden Group? If that’s the case, I’m willing to schedule a time for a proper discussion.” 

Elijah’s expression shifted. “Ariana, you want money?” 

I sneered. “Mr. Linden, you’ve gotten it wrong. I don’t want money. I want my money back. There’s a difference between the two.” 

“As for the profit generated by Linden Group from my 50–million–dollar investment,” I shot a cold glare at the nervous Jocelyn, “I expect my share, to be returned. Not a penny less.”
