After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 130

As soon as Elara finished speaking, Lysander's handsome face was already right in front of hers. For a moment, Elara froze.

Although she had seen this face countless times before, it still made her heart race when it was so close. 'He's just too good-looking, Elara thought to herself. Lysander reached out and helped her adjust her seatbelt. "Did you miss me?"

'He's becoming more and more direct, Elara thought. Elara gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Of course."

All the gloom from the day seemed to vanish in an instant. When they arrived back at the Hawthorne residence and sat down for dinner, Evelyn was also home.

Evelyn sat beside Elara and looked at her curiously. "Elara, I heard you became a lawyer?"

Elara nodded. "I'm interning at a law firm."

"Which one?" Evelyn asked.

Elara replied honestly, "Minkean House."

"When did you start?" Evelyn said, her voice tinged with surprise. "You didn't even tell me. Who are you working with?"

"Hazel," Elara answered.

"Oh, him," Evelyn said. "He's not bad. He's someone you can learn from if you work with him."

Elara thought about Hazel. He wasn't bad, but he was too good at flattering the powerful. Elara found that side of him hard to tolerate. However, she didn't bring this up at the dinner table. After finishing dinner, Elara followed Lysander back home. That night, Elara was busy and didn't get to bed until late.

She thought Lysander had already fallen asleep, but as soon as she lay down, he turned around and pulled her into his arms. "Finally done?"

"Yes," Elara replied, her mind still occupied with how to handle things with Natalie. She definitely wasn't willing to leave it to Adair. But looking at Lysander, Elara found it hard to bring it up.

She didn't want him to think she was someone who only relied on him. Lysander looked at her and said, "Is something wrong at work?"

He had figured it out immediately. Elara thought she had hidden it well, but his concern still caught her off guard. She smiled faintly and said, "It's fine."

Lysander gently brushed her hair away from her face. "I know you don't want me to handle your problems, but you need to remember that as long as I'm here, I'm someone you can depend on. "Elara, you don't always have to handle everything on your own.

He knew her too well after all these years. Even though Elara had a good relationship with him, she often seemed like she preferred being independent.
