After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 53

Because Elara had gone to Starfield City early, she didn't pick up her grades. Asher got them for her instead. Hearing what he said, Elara glanced at him.

Asher handed her the report card. "You've made a lot of progress If Lysander continues tutoring you, you shouldn't have any trouble getting into Queensun University," Elara had already made it into the top twenty of her grade. This was a result Asher could never have imagined before. After all, in his eyes. Elara used to be a complete fool. "It's no wonder she was mad when I used to say those things to her, Asher thought.

Receiving this great news from Asher, Elara didn't hesitate to ask, "And what about you? How did you do? Don't tell me you've surpassed Lysander already?"

At the mention of this, Asher's expression darkened. Elara caught on immediately. "So you didn't bear him, huh?"

Asher replied, a little regretful. "You've been studying with him, so you must know he's really good. I have no idea how he studies so effectively. If only I could get him to share his methods." Seeing Asher so humble, Elara said, "He doesn't study."

That statement made Asher's expression even darker. 'Lysander doesn't study and still easily crushes me? I don't believe it Elara must be saying that to mess with me, Asher thought "Alright, I'm going to change. Elara stood up, grabbed her bag, and headed upstairs, sharing her grades with Lysander along the way.

Going from the bottom of the class to the top twenty was something Elara had never thought possible. Although it seemned simple, she knew how much effort Lysander had put into helping her. He probably hadn't even been this focused on his own studies.

[Congrats.] Lysander messaged back, adding that he was already home.

After spending some time in Starfield City, both Elara and Lysander had been busy with their own things after returning. They hadn't seen each other for the past couple of days.

Asher was a little pleased that Lysander hadn't shown up. This morning, he had gone to school with Elara. "Did you and Lysander have a falling out?"

Elara gave him a glance. "Who told you that?"

"Then why haven't you two seen each other? He hasn't come to see you either," Asher asked.

"Does not seeing each other mean we've had a fight?" Elara found Asher's thinking a bit ridiculous "Lysander and I are doing just fine. You can relax"

"Elara..." Asher sounded unwilling to accept that he had no chance left. She must still be mad at me. That has to be it, he thought.

"Is it really necessary to go this far just to spite me? I know I treated you badly before, and if you're angry, I can understand. But I'm being sincere now. I truly want to be with you," Asher said. The more Elara ignored him, the more he wanted to cling to be Asher didn't believe that after being together with him for so long. Elara could be so easily replaced by Lysander. Chapter 53
