After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 69

Seeing him drenched from head to toe, Elara felt a pang of sympathy. She walked downstairs.

Ursa noticed her coming out and quickly held an umbrella over her. As the villa door opened. Elara stepped outside and looked at Lysander, who was being urged by the driver to go back. But he didn't budge. Elara narrowed her eyes at him. "What do you mean by this?"

Lysander turned to her, a glimmer of joy in his eyes. "You're not angry anymore!"

Elara was indeed quite upset. He always did this, ignoring her messages without a word. But seeing him like this, she found herself at a loss for what to do. Just come inside."

At her words, Lysander turned and opened the car door. Confused, Elara watched as he pulled out a cake box from inside

the car.

Once they were back home, Ursa brought a towel over. Lysander was completely soaked. Elara took the towel and gently dried the water from his hair.

She looked at Lysander and asked, "You canceled on me, and then you show up here for what?"

"Something came up, sorry," Lysander replied earnestly. "Elara, Ididn't mean to

"What was it?" Elara asked, her expression darkening. "If you can't make it, don't say you will."

It had made her look foolish in front of Harold, who ended up laughing at her. Harold seemed to enjoy it, almost eager for her to break things off with Lysander.

Lysander explained, "My dad called me unexpectedly"

At the mention of his father, Elara paused. She recalled how Harold had always opposed her relationship with Lysander. Concern crept into her voice as she asked, "Does your dad not approve of us?" Lysander shook his head, denying her concern. I don't think so

"You don't think so?" she asked.

"He hasn't brought you up, Lysander said.

Ursa helped find a change of clothes for Lysander, and Elara urged him to take a shower first After he emerged, she helped him dry his hair again.

He looked at Elara and said, "I'm sorry. By the time I finished up, you had already turned your phone off "Could I not turn it off?" Elara replied, her face dark. "I was about to lose it. I was ready to ignore you completely." The memory of being toyed with by Asher before her time travel still haunted her. Elara despised being a simp now.

On her way back, Elara even wondered if Lysander had grown tired of her. Before time travel, while he still cared for her, it was only because they had never been together.
