After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 60

"Why don't you celebrate your birthday?" Elara had assumed tha Lysander simply hadn't mentioned it because he didn't see her as a friend. To her surprise, it turned out that he didn't celebrate his birthday at all. When the subject came up, Lysander's expression turned somewhat complicated. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke. "My mother passed away on my birthday"

Since Elara had asked, Lysander didn't want to hide the truth from her. Elara was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, Tm sorry. I didn't know."

Lysander looked at her and replied, "It's okay. I don't mind talking about it with you. That simple statement was enough to show how much Lysander trusted her.

Elara didn't press him further. While they were eating. Barrett called. Elara set down her fork and answered the phone. "Hello, Dad?

Barrett asked, "You're not home yet?"

Thinking of the landslide, he couldn't wait to see Elara, but she still hadn't returned. So, Barrett had no choice but to call her.

Elara responded, Tm out having dinner with Lysander."

Lysander glanced up at her. Elara then asked, "Have you eaten yet?

Knowing her father was still recovering from his injury, Elara was quite concerned about his health. Barrett replied, "T haven't eaten yet. I was actually waiting for you to come home."

"You don't need to wait for me. Go ahead and cat. I'm almost done, and I'll be back soon." Elara reassured him.

With exams coming up, Elara had been under a lot of pressure lately. Even though Lysander kept telling her that with her abilities, passing wouldn't be a problem, Elara couldn't help but remember what had happened before the time travel Now that exams were approaching, having a nice meal to relax seemed like the right thing to do. After ending the call, she explained to Lysander, "It was my dad on the phone."

Normally, when she stayed out late, Barrett rarely questioned her. It was even more unusual for him to call and check on her. Elara figured it had to do with the same issue, Fortunately, when they f

dinner, Lysander didn't press her about the call or ask further questions, When Elara

returned home, it was Monica who opened the door for her.

"Miss Kensington, you're back." Monica seemed unusually enthusiastic today. The way she looked at Elara wasn't as cold as it had been before. "Good evening," Elara greeted.

"I'm sorry." Monica suddenly said.

Elara looked at her, puzzled, "What are you apologizing for?"

Tused to think it was your fault that Mr. Kensington got hurt, and I held that against you. But now, I realize I was wrong." Monica explained.

"It's not your fault. You were just worried about my dad," Elara replied with a smile. Monica had been hurt in the incident as well. Elara wasn't the type to hold a grudge over something like that When she stepped into the living room, she found her father waiting for her, Seeing that she was alone,
