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.

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 The driver had already been replaced by someone new, who respectfully opened the car door for Elara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."
