After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Asher sneered Think whatever the hell y

I you want, but let me warn you if you invite Lysander over for dinner again, don’t expect me to be nice”

With that, he stormed off, slamming his bedroom door belund him.

Elara stood frozen, her lips curling in disbelief, “What the hell! Does he really think he runs this place she fumed silently

Still furious, she headed to her room and quickly called Ursa. “Ursa, clear Asher’s crap out of his room tomorrow. This house isn’t big enough for the both of us”

After hanging up, she saved Lysaniler’s number in her phone and texted him [Dal you make it home safe?)

But there was no reply.

The next morning. Elara woke up, half-expecting Asher to have left already

But when she went downstairs, there he was, sitting in the dining room like nothing had happened, as it waiting for her. Without a word, Elara sat down and started eating her breakfast. Seeing him still sitting there, she finally said, her voice cold, “Aren’t you supposed to pick up your girlfriend? That way, you can leave faster.

“We’re just friends. Don’t get the wrong idea, Asher shot back defensively, though they were secretly dating

In their elite circle, young relationships were frowned upon. If Daphne hadn’t accidentally let it slip. Elara would still be in the dark

Watching him pretend to be innocent, Elara felt a wave of disgust. He really thinks I’m still clueless, doesn’t he?’ she mused internally,

After breakfast, Asher followed her out. The driver had already been replaced by someone new, who respectfully opened the car door for Elara

She got in, but before she could say anything. Asher climbed in after her like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Elara gave him a sharp look. “Asher, what’s your problem? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ride with me anymore? I still remember what you said yesterday.”

Asher pressed his lips together, staying silent. If my dad didn’t need me to smooth things over with her, I wouldn’t even bother. She’s just full of herself because of her family’s money. What the hell is there to be so proud of? he thought, though he knew his father needed to keep his job.

Seeing him keep quiet, Elara decided not to waste her breath. She signaled the driver, and they headed to school.

At the school gates, Elara stepped out, with Asher trailing behind. Normally, they would’ve arrived with Daphne, but today she’d taken the bus alone.

As soon as Daphne spotted Asher, she rushed over. “Hey, Asher!”

“Morning,” he muttered, clearly uninterested.

Daphne turned her eyes to Elara, still confused by what had happened the day before. She couldn’t understand how a servant’s daughter had the guts to treat Asher like that.

Seeing Asher and Elara arrive together, Daphne couldn’t help but ask. “Did you two… make up?”

Elara didn’t bother with the chatter around her and walked straight into the classroom Asher watched her walk away, his frown deepening when it hit him-she wasn’t waiting for him.

Turning to Daphne, he muttered, “There’s nothing going on between us, you know.”

Dapline raised an eyebrow. “Really? You’re letting the daughter of a servant boss you around? You’re way too soft. People are saying she’s the real heiress now.

Asher rolled his eyes. “Let them say what they want. My dad’s tight with her family, and he asked me to keep an eye on her. I can’t just ignore that.”

“Alright, Ime,” Daphne huffed, a hit relieved to know it was just about his dad’s request.

Inside the classroom. Elara spotted Lizzie sitting in her seat.
