A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah)

Chapter 194

Logan smiled but didn't reply. Then, he asked again, "Do you like it?"

lesuldn't hold it in and burst into tears. I nodded profusely

Logan was firm but relaxed as he stood beside me, quietly admiring the fireworks display. Our hands intertwined. It was as if we had finally found each other after years of s Images flickered in my mind, but I couldn't grasp them. I vaguely saw a young man in a white shirt standing under a bright light, smiling at me.

He asked, "Al, what do you like"

Treplied "like flowers"

The young mun answered lightly, "h? What kind of flowers?"

"Fireworks!"

The young man laughed loudly. "Silly, fireworks aren't flowers."

Ipouted "What do you mean they aren't? I want fireworks on my birthday."

The young man stood in the light, his voice carrying a sense of urget "But I have to go now I can't give you reworks"

Tasked, "Where are you going. Woody? Aren't you going to celebrate my birthday with nie?"

The young man turned around and said slightly. "I can't. I have to go.".

separation.

I grabbed Logan's arm forcefully. "A-Are you celebrating my birthday for mo?-

Logan looked at me calmly. "Aria, happy birthday! 1 know it isn't your birthday yet...."

Heted his wrist to show me the time He sounded helpless as he said, "It's an hour away, but you said you were bored, so I had no choice but to ask them to display the fireworks now."

1 was overwhelmed by the feeling of wanting to cry and laugh at the same time. I didn't know what to say

Fireworks into the sky, bursting into vivid colors like flowers in the night sky.

Logan suddenly said, "Give me your hand."

I extended my hand, and he slowly grabbed my finger.

I felt something chilly between my fingers. When I looked down, I noticed a diamond ring on my finger. It was dazzling like the fireworks in the night sky.

1 stammered. "W-What is this?-

Aring could mean anything, but I dared not guess.

Logan smiled. "This is my second gift to you."

I was riddled with shock and joy. But I also felt embarrassed by the unexpected gift. I stuttered, "W-Why would you give me a ring? This is too expensive. The price tag obviously meant nothing to Logan. He held my hand and explained carefully, "This is on your ring finger, but it's not a proposal"

I let out an exclamation as I felt heat running through my linger.

Logan looked at me intently. "I wouldn't propose to you so casually. This is just a gift to keep you close."

I wanted to laugh. "Do you think a ring will keep mo close to you?!

He quirked his eyebrow. "Isn't that what a ring is for?

He raised his hand, only for me to notice a white gold ring on his left ring finger. It was simple, but it was the same style as my ring. They were matching rings, I never thought a domineering CTD would be so tacky.

I was at a loss for words. Warmth flowed through my heart as 1 touched his ring

This was how it felt like being in a real relationship. He loved me, so he wanted to keep me close, but he wasn't worried about keeping himself close to me. Couple rings were a symbol of love between two lovers. It wasn't mandatory, but it was a warm gesture. He lowered his head and gently kissed my hand. Then, he said again, appy birthday, my dear Axia from now on, we'll never be apart from each other."
