After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 70

Chapter 70

Elara originally thought the Hawthorne family wouldn't like her at all. However, when they met, she discovered that was not the case. They didn't even seem to mind her casual attire.

The family was quite large, and after a round of introductions, Elara couldn't remember many names. There was Lysander. his uncle, and others. His father was the second eldest in the family. But Elara did recognize a familiar face, the woman who drove a Ferrari and had spoken to Asher at the entrance, trying to take him home.

She arrived last, and everyone seemed accustomed to her lateness. It was only the eldest uncle who commented on her tardiness. "Evelyn, why do you always arrive so late?" he asked.

"It's just a family dinner, not a United Nations conference. You all are too uptight, she replied nonchalantly as she took her

Elara couldn't help but stare at her. Felicity noticed Elara's gaze and introduced them "Elara, this is Lysander's Aunt. Evelyn Hawthorne."

Evelyn's eyes landed on Elara, and she smiled. "So, this is Lysander's fiancée? She's quite lovely," she said.

"Hello, Evelyn," Elara responded politely.

Evelyn gave her an approving smile in return. She was indeed beautiful, but Elara couldn't shake the memory of Evelyn being with Asher last time.

When they were finishing dinner, Elara excused herself to use the restroom. As she entered, she saw Evelyn holding her phone and adding a handsome young man on WhatsApp. He looked to be around twenty, still quite young

Once finished, Evelyn said cheerfully, "Make sure to come find me tonight."

The young man walked away, looking a bit bashful. Elara's eyes widened in surprise at the scene she had just witnessed.

Seeing Elara, Evelyn didn't say anything. Elara stepped into the restroom, where she found Evelyn reapplying her lipstick. "Hi, Evelyn, Elara said.

Evelyn glanced at her through the mirror, casually asking. "What do you think of that young man I just added? Is he handsome!"

Elara hesitated for a moment, wondering if Evelyn would let slip her earlier encounter with Asher. But then Evelyn openly asked her the question.

"He's pretty handsome," Elara replied,

Evelyn shrugged "Honestly, he's just okay."

"Really?" Elara was surprised.

"My friend mentioned introducing her son to me. That kid is actually good-looking, but unfortunately, he has a bit of a temper. He hasn't replied to my messages yet," Evelyn said.

She felt incredibly awkward, thinking that she and Evelyn weren't that familiar with
