After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 79

Harold didn't bother to deal with these troublesome matters. Nora seemed like a nice person to him at first. She had a decent education and was quite perceptive while working. But he never expected she would be this type of person. After Natalie got out of the car, an inexplicable silence fell inside Lysander sat next to Elara, who stopped talking. She was much quieter than when Natalie was around..

After a while, feeling a bit thirsty. Elara picked up a bottle of water and took a sip. Once she finished, she asked, "Do you want

some water?"

Lysander looked at Elara, recalling the time they went to Lodorwood to see Barrett together. Back then, he had handed her water to break the silence. He extended his hand to pass the water to her.

Elara observed Lysander. He had moved to sit beside her right after Natalie left the car. Elara had expected him to say something, but he remained silent, leaving it up to her to initiate. She said, "Why aren't you talking?"

Elara explained, "I went to a party last time, and everyone said Daphne was your girlfriend. I told them she wasn't, and then I showed them this photo. You know what they said?" "What?" he prompted.

"They said it looked like we weren't close at all, she replied.

Lysander responded, 'It looks fine to me."

Surprised by his nonchalant reaction, Elara thought he really was a blockhead. Unable to hold back, she bluntly asked. "Lysander, do you not like me?"

hearing her question, Lysander looked up at her, his gaze seeming to issue a warning.
