Asher could tell Ursa was mockingbim, and it made him feel a bit frustrated. Elara had rushed our of the classroom yesterday, and Asher hadn't expected it to be because of her father.

In the past, if something big happened. Elarn would always come to Asher first. Back then, he thought she was incredibly annoying.

But now, when she no longer turned to him and went to Lysander instead, Asher found himself unexpectedly feeling a deep sense of disappointment.

If she had come to me, I definitely would've gone with her to Lodorwood, just like Lysander did, Asher thought.

After walking Cotton, Elara returned to see Ursa standing alone nearby. Asher was already gone. "He left?" Elara asked.

Ursa nodded. "Yes. I told him about you and Mr. Hawthorne going to Lodorwood. He didn't seem very happy. He just left without saying anything."

Elara sighed. "Ursa, are all men like this?"

"Like what?" Ursa asked.

"When you treat them well, they don't care about you. But once you stop paying attention, they start acting all emotional, like they're deeply in love, just to disgust you," Elara said.

It was like they enjoyed building up this image of themselves as devoted. Even when they didn't care at all, they had to make it look like the relationship ended, but it wasn't their fault. Asher was exactly like that now. Ursa simply replied, "Yes,"

Elara glanced at her, smiled slightly, and dropped the subject. Everyone was focused on their exams at the moment, and no one had the time or energy to be distracted by anything else.
