After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander)

Unveiled 45Chapter 41

This time, Asher was serious.

"Why should I just walk away because Daphne told me to? Why in't I choose someone else?' he thought. Daphne had previously suggested he pretend to be with Elara, bt now he no longer felt that way.

From now on, I want to genuinely like Elara. I won't waste my energy on Daphine anymore, he resolved inwardly. Elara, however, looked at him as if he were a madman after hearing his words.

Is Asher confessing to me? Oh my God. Before the time travel, was always so reluctant. When he was with me, he acted like he was forced into it. It was as if him being with me was a favor. But now, he's saying he wants to be with me?' she thought, letting out a cold laugh. Seeing her staring at him. Asher asked, "What's wrong?

Asher expected Elara to agree quickly, but her reaction surprised him.

Elara turned away, cleared her throat, and adopted an uncomfortable demeanor. "I'm still a high school student. I just want to focus on my studies. I'm not considering dating right now."

Asher remembered saying something similar in the past.

Are you trying to provoke me? Is this because I rejected you before?" he asked.

Elara glanced at him. "How could that be?"

Her gaze still held affection for him.

"Well,

Well, as you've seen recently, my dad really likes Lysander, Elra said.

"Asher replied, puzzled as he wondered, 'Am I being rejected?"

Feeling a bit displeased, Asher knew Elara understood how sensitive his pride was, so she tried to soothe his feelings. "My dad loves me and dotes on me. In his eyes, I should marry the best person."

After saying this, Elara looked at Asher with an innocent expression. "You know you always rank behind Lysander in grades. Why don't you try harder! Once you surpass him, I'll be with you."

Asher's face darkened as he looked at Elara

She wants me to surpass Lysander? Does she think I don't want to? If I could do it, I would have already! Her words are nothing but bullshit!' he roared inwardly.

Asher replied, "If you want to reject me, just say so. No need to come up with excuses.

"I'm not

Seeing here stien your Elara sad firmly, believe in wo thingy have the capability. Besides, our family is considered the richest in Brookfield. If you marry me, everything we have will be yours. My dad has some expectations, but they're not unreasonable, right?" Elara added, "Or do you deep down you can't measure up to Lysander?" I didn't do well in the past. He could brush me off, and I wouldnt understand. Then he'd get angry, calling me stupid and saying I was worse than Daphne. If he's really so smart, he'd try to surpass Lysander, Elara thought, scoffing inwardly. Elara picked up her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. 18:24 Wed, Nov 6 W

She looked at Asher With regret. "If you think my request is too much, then forget it. But Asher, my feelings for you are true. I'm working hard to get into the same university as you, even if everyone thinks it's impossible. They laugh at me, but I won't stop. take

After pausing, she continued, "You and Lysander aren't that far apart in ranking. Maybe he just got lucky. Yet, you won't even try for me. If it were Daphne, you'd certainly be willing. Since the person you truly like is still her, then stop toying with my feelings. I really can't

it By the end, Elara's voice was soft, and she appeared very humble

Having walked past him, she exited the classroom.

After eavesdropping on their conversation at noon, Elara had picked up a couple of tricks from Daphne.

Elara felt she had performed quite well.

As she got into the car, Elara said. "Let's go."

The driver glanced at Elara. "Aren't we waiting for Mr. Blackwood?"

Elara looked at Asher, who had just exited the school gate.

It was only a short distance away, but Elara didn't wait for him.

Elara said to the driver, "Let's go."

Wait for him? Does he deserve that? Loser! He got dumped by Daphne and thinks he can be with me now. He can't possibly think I still like him, can he?' she thought. 'In the past, I might have been happy about this. But now, if he wants to be with me, he'll have to see if interested" When Lysander returned home and saw Elara coming back alone, he was somewhat surprised. "Where's Asher?"

I'm

"I don't know." Elara smiled as she walked up to Lysander. "Do you miss him?"

"No." Lysander looked at Elara and noticed the laughter in her eyes.

She seems to be in a good mood, he wondered.

"What did you do this time?" Lysander asked.

Elara grinned. "He got dumped by Daphne and wants to be with me. I told him if he surpasses you in grades, I'll agree to it."

She was now open with Lysander about everything and didn't hide anything from him, trusting him completely.

Sometimes, when discussing investments, Elara found she could gain insights from Lysander.

Since Elara had experienced events from the next decade through her time travel, she wasn't surprised by this.

What made Lysander remarkable was his ability to predict which directions would be more profitable in the coming years as if he had been blessed by God.

Hearing Elara's words, Lysander paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I will work hard."

Elara was puzzled "What are you going to work hard at?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"I will work hard to make sure you don't end up with him," he replied earnestly.

I

Elara thought, "You really don't need to try that hard, okay?"

She told Asher that to emphasize the significant gap between him and Lysander.

For Asher. Lysander was a mountain he could hardly climb.

If Lysander worked even harder, he would leave no room for Asher at all.

While they were studying in the study, Elara's phone rang.

She glanced at i

I at it. It was a message from Asher. It went to make to classes. I thought about what you said, and I will work hard]

Elara was somewhat surprised to see this message.

Lysander asked, "What's wrong?"

Elara replied, "Asher said he will work hard. I thought he would just get upset and leave after hearing me."

"As expected, the techniques I learned from Dapline are effective. Asher seems to respond to them. Maybe he doesn't want to lose and wants to prove he's not inferior to Lysander, she thought. Asher returned only after finishing his make-up classes that evening.

He stayed in

in the servants' quarters of the Kensington family after classes so he could go to school with Elara in the morning Although Elara hadn't agreed to be with him, Asher didn't want Lysander to have the opportunity to be alone with her. When Asher returned, the Clark family's luxury car had just picked up Lysander.

Seeing that car, a symbol of privilege, Asher felt a pang of inferiority.

Asher approached Elara. "He's gone?"

Elara nodded. "Yes. We already had dinner. Have you eaten?" cared

Feeling

I for by Elara made Asher feel a bit better. "Yeah, I've eaten."

Elara said, "Well, then I'll leave you to it. I'm off to bed then. "Elara, Asher called out to her.

Elara turned to look at Asher.

Asher said, "Why don't you let Lysander stop tutoring you?"

"Why?" Elara asked seriously. "You're being too tense. I just asked him to help me with my studies. I'm not dating him. Why are you being so petty?"
