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.

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.

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.
