A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah)

Chapter 140

"Touredly disappointed me, Ivan," I said calmly

Evan's eyes reddened"..I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you that way. I always thought it was you who came between Eli and Josie."

Iraised an eyebrow

Evan quickly corrected himself. "I meant Jocelyn. We're not that close.

Tatened my tone. "Did she tell you something?

Evan nodded. "She came to me and red for a long time. She said she couldn't forget Eli. She also said... she said you forced them apart. That's what she meant," he explained.

I nodded in understanding, I knew Evan couldn't have hated me that much; someone must have been talking behind my back.

If Jocelyn could manipulate Elijah so easily, fooling a kid like Evan would be a breeze. I didn't want to bring up old grudges or ask what tumors Jocelyn had told Evan about me. It didn't master

Evan looked surprised when he noticed that I wasn't angry at all.

"Aren't you mad? Don't you want to know what bad things Jocelyn said about you?" he asked.

I smiled and replied, "No, I don't want to know. Besides, what difference would it make? She's not doing too well now anyway

"The important thing is that you don't believe her anymore, and you've finally come to your senses," I added.

Evan stared at me in disbelief.

"Ari, you've changed," he stammered "You're sitter from before. You used to always argue with me and them go confront Jocelyn"

"And then Jocelyn would probably claim bullied het, right? Then I'd end up arguing with Elijah again and getting into a big fight with you too," I replied casually. Evan nodded. "Yes, but_" He was too young to see through Jacelyn's games...

someone wrongly accused me, I'd definitely confront them. Maybe even get into a fight."

I sighed. "That when

they insisted they were right? Wouldn't that mean you were wrong for starting a fight?"

Evan was about to say something but then he seemed to get it.

"I beatly messed up." he admitted, looking down. "where I went wrong by believing forelyn without question

"What did you do wrong I asked.

lile was filled with regist. "I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and blamed you. You must have been furious when she wronged you, and then you argued with jocelyn, and then she..."

I shook my head. "No, I wasn't angry because Jocelyn wronged me. I was heartbroken for a different reason."

Evan froze. "What do you own by a déferent reason?

I looked into his eyes seriously. "The people you care about the most should never doubt you. That kind of hurt. it's really painful."

I sighed softly and patted his head. I felt auch of emotions as my eyes welled up with tears, and i realized how much I cared for him.

This was the person who had always been by my side, calling for "Ari". At last, he was back
