After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 195

After listening to everything Elara had told him, Lysander didn't move or respond. Seeing his silence, Elara leaned into his arms, resting against him.

"I just wanted to tell you what I know. That's all. No other intentions," Elara said softly. "Maybe I'm overthinking, but it seems like you don't hate your father as much as you let on.

"Of course, if that's just my imagination, feel free to pretend I never said anything."

As far as the Hawthorne family was concerned, she was firmly on Lysander's side.

Lysander looked down at Elara in his arms and said, "I never really hated him. Sully's words didn't bother me, either. Who knows what he's thinking over there."

"That's because..." Elara glanced at the man beside her, noting how he was always a little more talkative when it was just the two of them. "You never say anything.

"People can only guess what you're thinking. Who could possibly get it right? Sure, I know you've always had that stone-faced look and don't talk much, but they think you're upset or angry." Hearing this, Lysander leaned in and nipped at her lips. Elara wasn't sure if he had been listening, but his sudden kiss made her laugh helplessly. "Were you even paying attention to me?" "I was listening," Lysander replied.

Elara wrapped her arms around him and said softly, "Darling."

Her voice was gentle, and Lysander glanced at her, asking, "What is it?"

"If we have a baby someday, I'm going to take really good care of them," she said, her tone full of conviction.

Lysander looked at her intently. "Thinking about having kids already?"

"I meant someday," Elara replied, amused by how excited he seemed at the mention of a baby. "I just brought it up casually. Why are you getting so worked up about it?"

Lysander's gaze lingered on her face, and he couldn't help but imagine how wonderful it would be if he and Elara really had a child.

As he held her, vivid scenes played out in his mind moments of them becoming parents, raising a family together.

The more he thought about it, the more exhilarated he felt, so much so that he almost wanted to jump up hours just to burn off the energy.
