After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 50

After a long while, Harold finally finished his work and walked over to Elara. "Hi, Elara," he greeted her.

"Hi, Uncle Harold," Elara replied.

"It's time for you to head back," Harold said. "I'll take you home. You should get some rest."

"Now?" Elara asked. "Isn't it a bit too early?"

"I'll drive you back." Harold insisted.

Elara glanced at the small plate of peeled fruit on the table. She turned to Lysander and said, "I'm heading home now. Uncle Harold called for me, so I think he has something to discuss." Lysander looked at her. "Alright."

"I'll miss you," she said, giving him a small smile before walking off, taking the plate of fruit with her.

Lysander watched her leave, his eyes softening. Ever since he returned to Starfield City, he had been forced into social engagements and meetings with elders, something he didn't enjoy at all. Lysander had thought tonight would be boring and hadn't wanted to attend. But seeing Elara made him feel like the night wasn't so bad after all.

Elara followed Harold downstairs, where they happened to bump into a woman who looked strikingly similar to Asher. The woman, accompanied by a little girl, greeted Harold. "Hi, Mr. Jarvis." "Mrs. Linde, hello," Harold responded.

"I was wondering if I could get one of your business cards, Mr. Jarvis?" the woman asked.

Harold nodded. "Of course."

Harold personally drove Elara home, and he was the one behind the wheel. As they were driving, Elara, sitting in the passenger seat, asked Harold, "Who was that woman who just greeted you?" "Her family runs a logistics business. Her husband and I have some business dealings. Why? Do you know her?" Harold replied.

"What's her last name?" Elara asked.

"I believe her maiden name is Shawn. But you've just arrived in Starfield City, so I doubt you know anyone here," Harold said.

"I might have mistaken her for someone else," Elara said. Hearing that her maiden name was Shawn, her suspicions were now almost confirmed.

For a long time, Elara had been trying to gather information about Asher's mother. She had gone to great lengths to make Asher like her.
