Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 734

“Our little Damian is truly kind-hearted.” Yelena bent down, reached out, and tapped his nose.

Damian proudly lifted his chin. “Of course. I have to protect everyone.”

“Who instilled this hero mindset in you?”

Damian scratched his head. “Ultraman.”

Yelena burst into laughter.

Elspeth, Yelena, and Damian went out to eat together. Unexpectedly, after the meal, it was Federick who came to pick up Yelena.

“Long time no see.”

Federick smiled slightly, naturally taking Yelena’s bag from her hands.

“Long time no see. How did you two end up together again?”

Upon hearing this, Yelena immediately blushed. “No, we’re not together. We’re just hanging out.”

“Oh? Are you interested in him now?”

Elspeth didn’t quite believe that Yelena had moved on so quickly, especially considering how long she had liked Hank before.

“This is my dad’s request,” Yelena whispered into Elspeth’s ear.

Elspeth suddenly understood and wore a mysteriously knowing smile on her face. “Well then, if that’s the case, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll take Damian and leave first.”

Federick politely offered a suggestion, “How about we give you a ride back?”

“No need, no need. We came here in a car. You can go back on your own,” Elspeth replied.

With that, Elspeth swiftly left the scene with Damian.

Soon, only the two of them were left.

“Thank you for coming to pick me up today,” Yelena said.

Federick smiled. “It was Francis’ request. I was just following orders.”

Hearing that, Yelena quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Federick noticed her relief and a hint of desolation crossed his eyes.

“Are you in a hurry to go home now?”

Federick suddenly asked, leaving Yelena unsure how to respond. She shook her head. “I don’t have anything to do today, and I’m not busy at work tomorrow, so I can go back later. Why do you ask?”

“Then would you accompany me for a walk by the lake?”

Since he had personally come to pick her up, Yelena agreed to go with him. They strolled by the lake, where the strong night wind blew by, making their clothes flutter.

Since it was a walk, there was bound to be a conversation.

“Do you still like him?”

Unexpectedly, Yelena was hit with this question right off the bat. She hesitated briefly; it was a straightforward question and she didn’t know how to answer.

“It’s okay, you can tell me honestly. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Yelena lowered her head, remaining silent for a while before shaking her head slowly. “I don’t like him anymore. I stopped liking him a long time ago.”
