Aww Seven Exes Begged Cute Blocked novel Chapter 70

**A Promise Written on the Rusted Edge of Time by Dael Rowan Sire**
**Chapter 70**

Me:…..

Even after all the time we’ve spent together, he still had this undeniable charm…

A flirt, through and through.

After a moment of quiet, I nestled closer to him, seeking comfort in his presence, and decided to shift the conversation:

“So, you recognized me the very first time you laid eyes on me?”

Chase glanced down, his fingers gently threading through my hair, a soft smile playing on his lips:

“Yes, I did.”

“Is that what made you like me? Those childhood memories?”

He shook his head, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

“No, Lily.”

“With you, I experienced both—a childhood bond and love at first sight.”

The music from the speakers in the living room continued to play softly, the familiar lyrics filling the air:

“After all these years, you’re still the one.”

“After all these years, you’re still the one.”

I let my fingers slip beneath the fabric of Chase’s shirt, resting them lightly on his abdomen, feeling the warmth radiate from him.

He inhaled sharply, a rush of surprise evident as he grasped my wrist, his grip firm yet tender.

Lowering his head, he captured my lips with his, igniting a spark that quickly turned into a fervent flame.

The kiss deepened, growing more urgent, as I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

He stood up, lifting me effortlessly and carrying me toward the bed, where my wrists were pinned gently above my head.

His kisses trailed down my neck, dancing along my collarbone, moving tantalizingly lower.

**Chapter 70**

His ragged breaths mingled with deep, masculine sounds, creating a symphony of desire that enveloped us.

My body melted under his touch, surrendering to the overwhelming sensations.

In a moment of defiance, I attempted to remove my hearing aid, wanting to block out the world for just a moment longer.

He leaned in close to my right ear, chuckling softly, as if he could see right through my intentions.

Then, without shame, he let his groans and heavy breaths wash over me, filling the space between us.

Even though only one ear could hear, the sounds in the room felt impossibly loud, echoing in the stillness of the night.

This was just the beginning of our evening together.

After graduation, Chase and I tied the knot.

Returning from our honeymoon, we discovered that my parents had purchased a suburban townhouse for their retirement, a place filled with memories yet to be made.

Concerned about the moving company mishandling cherished belongings, they insisted on moving everything themselves.

On moving day, Chase and I decided to lend a hand.

As we sorted through boxes, Mom’s cardboard box suddenly gave way at the bottom, spilling its contents onto the ground in a chaotic mess.

I stepped closer, my heart racing as I recognized the familiar sight of my high school books scattered everywhere.

My fingers brushed against a leather-bound yearbook, and an inexplicable pull drew me to it.

Flipping through the pages, I was met with well-wishes from my classmates at Lincoln High, each page a testament to the friendships and dreams we once shared.

My gaze landed on the last page, and my heart skipped a beat.

It was Chase’s.

Back then, everyone had been passing around yearbooks to sign, and in my excitement, I had been too busy writing messages and exchanging contact information to truly absorb each page.

This was my first encounter with Chase’s page.

His handwriting stood out—bold and distinctive, much like the man himself.

Name: Chase

Height: 6’2″

Address: Unknown

His message to me was a hopeful wish for my future:

“I hope you get into Harvard.”

But it was the “My Wish” section at the very bottom that made my heart swell. He had written just two words:

“Marry you.”

**Epilogue (Chase’s Story)**

Chase had never revealed this to Lily:

On that fateful day, as she stood at the podium introducing herself, he looked up and recognized her instantly.

But his father had thrown him into a room, locking the door behind him.

Outside, chaos erupted—sounds of things breaking, followed by an eerie silence.

The door finally opened, revealing Lily standing there, a comforting presence.

She wrapped her arms around him as he curled up in the corner, her warmth chasing away the shadows.

Lily brought him candy, her favorite treat, a small token of her affection.

She didn’t fully understand what had transpired, but she sensed it was something that terrified all children.

When evening fell, his parents returned, each clutching booklets and various documents.

**Chapter 70**

His mother packed with tear-stained eyes, purchasing tickets for a new life abroad.

His father left with a cold laugh, his arm wrapped around his secretary’s waist, a stark reminder of his betrayal.

Only he remained in that house, a lonely boy left behind.

Until late that night, when his grandparents arrived to take him to their old home.

Sitting in the car, he tried desperately to memorize the route, wanting to hold onto something familiar.

Yet, when he woke the next day, it all slipped away, lost in the fog of his dreams.

Later, he attempted to return, but his grandparents, mistaking his intentions, stopped him, believing he sought his parents.

In truth, he only wanted to find Lily.

He knew deep down that his parents had abandoned him.

The city felt so vast that, despite searching week after week, he never found his way back.

Yet, the city was also small enough that fate brought him back to Lily.

She was both his childhood sweetheart and the love he recognized at first sight.

Summer never truly faded; it was as if they were destined to meet again.

***

She lost her voice the day her ex got engaged—to her maid of honor.

Good thing revenge is silent.
