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.

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.
