After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 54

Asher chuckled softly. "She said she'll only be with me if my exam scores surpass Lysander's. Otherwise, she claims Im not good enough for her."

Just thinking about it made Asher angry, and he wasn't sure who to vent to about it. Daphne, however, seerned like a decent person to talk to.

When Daphne heard this, she found it completely ridiculous. "She's out of her mind, isn't she? Does she seriously think she's some kind of high-class debutante? Lysander's family background and yours are worlds apart! "A kid like Lysander, who grew up with everything handed to him, has resources we can't even compare to.

"Asher, you're just too pitiful," Daphne said, looking at him. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you to get close to Elara. No one would've thought she'd turn out to be like this.

Then you should ignore her for now, Daphne advised "The more you treat her well, the more shell think you can't live without her, and that's when she'll start acting superior. If you go back to being cold like before, she'll definitely start panicking" That was what Asher had been thinking, too. He had his pride. While he genuinely wanted to treat Elara well, that didn't mean he'd pamper her for no reason, especially after everything she'd said to him.
