With exams approaching, Elara wanted to enjoy some good food, so she arranged to meet Lysander here before class ended.

Hadden mentioned that their hotel had air-freighted some seafood, inviting her to come try it out.

Elara loved gourmet food and was excited to hear about the air freighted shrimp.

Brookfield was an inland city, not near the sea, so seafood wasn't cheap.

It came at a high cost.

However, given the Kensington family's wealth, it was easy for Elara to indulge in these delicacies.

Before her time travel, she had been ill and had a limited variety of foods she could eat

Later, due to financial constraints, she couldn't afford to eat what she desired.

Fortunately, now she was back, young and healthy, able to eat whatever she wanted.

When she arrived, Lysander was standing by the water feature outside their private room, just finishing a phone call.

As soon as he saw Elara, he walked over to take her backpack.

Elara looked at him. "Did you bring Violet with you?"

Lysander nodded. "Yes."

Frowning, he asked, "Why do you insist I bring her?"

During their last encounter, Violet had treated Elara poorly, leaving Lysander with a negative impression of her.

If it hadn't been for Elara insisting he include Violet, he wouldn't have bothered to invite her.

Elara replied, "She is your cousin after all. She doesn't like me, and bringing her along is a good chance to improve our relationship."

Surprised by her desire to get along with Violet, Lysander responded, "You're not upset about what happened last time? She was so rude to you."

Elara smiled peacefully at him. "Not at all. She wasn't wrong. I was pretty foolish back then, making it obvious that I liked Asher, being his biggest admirer." She continued, "If I don't get along with Violet, and someday I marry you, wouldn't that put you in a difficult position?"

Lysander stared at her, catching the part where she mentioned marrying him.

'So, she plans to marry me?' he thought.

Before he could respond, Elara grabbed his sleeve. "Let's go. I'm starving."

She pushed open the door to their private room and walked inside.
