For a while, when Lysander was staying at the Kensington residerice, Barrelt would always cook for them himself.

Even though Barrett was a business owner, he never acted high and nighty at home. But that was back then "Alright, come over and eat, Barrett called to the two kids.

Elara and Lysander sat down together in the dining room.

For Elara, this Christmas felt completely different from previous years. Last year, she had spent it with her father too, along. with Asher and the others, but for her, it felt like many years had passed in between. Before her time travel, every Christmas was spent alone in a rented apartment, with no father, no family, no one who liked her, and no one she liked. She was just a solitary figure, enduring both loneliness and illness. Now, with her dad sitting in front of her and Lysander nearby, Elara was genuinely happy.

They had met when Elara's mother helped Barrett win a patent case. He had pursued her for a long time before finally winning her over.

Everyone said he was incredibly lucky to marry such a beautiful woman. Barrett agreed, and he didn't mind at all.
