After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 40

Daphne

was slender, dressed in her school uniform.

Even though the uniform was thick, it looked somewhat baggy on her.

The wind in the woods tousled her hair, styled in the popular thick bangs of the time.

With her good looks and a pitiful expression, her eyes were red. Aslier, are you planning to ignore me from now on?"

Elara crossed her arms, watching the scene with indifference.

Before her time travel, she hadn't been very smart and missed many things.

Now, she had the rare opportunity to see how Daphne was trying to manage Asher.

Asher was clearly upset with Daphne,

Seeing her approach, he felt a sense of relief and adopted a defensive posture. "You told me to be with her and not to upset her. What if I get too close to you and make her angry?" Daphne's eyes reddened at his words. "Y-Yeah, it's my fault"

"What did you call me over for Asher-asked

I just... I kind of miss you, Daphne replied, looking down. "I let you be with Elara just to hope you'd be happy. I thought could control my feelings, but I realize I can't."

The next second, tears fell from her eyes.

Elara, momentarily at a loss for words, thought, 'Oh my God. If Daphne doesn't pursue acting, it would be such a waste. Honestly, even I am a bit moved. She wants Asher to be with someone else for his own good, yet she struggles with her own feelings for him. What man wouldn't be touched by that?

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Asher fell silent for a while, and his anger faded.

His voice softened noticeably. "Please don't cry."

Daphne wiped her tears. "I'm sorry. I'll try not to bother you anymore. How are things with Elara? She's not giving you a hard time, is she?"

Asher frowned. "I don't want to hear you talk about her all the time."

"Then I won't mention her again. As long as you're okay, I'll be at ease. You should go back before Elara sees you." Daphne urged.

Asher looked at Daphne. "If I weren't with Elara, would you still want to be with me?"
