After Death, Love Unveiled

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

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
