After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 210

"Yeah." Lysander nodded.

"Then I'll stay here with you," Elara said.

If it was in the past, she would have gone back to work first. But knowing that Lysander was here, she decided to spend a couple more days with him.

Hearing her decision, Lysander glanced at her. "Not busy with your work anymore, Ms. Kensington?" She was always so serious about her job.

Elara smiled. "I need to spend time with you, too."

Lysander's gaze softened at her words. For a moment, he felt like he might have been too distant with her lately.

But in the next second, she added, "Mr. Hassiron recommended his newly developed resort to me today. He wants me to check it out. If you're free, why don't we go together?" Lysander let out a helpless chuckle. He quickly retracted his earlier thoughts.

That night, as they lay in bed, Lysander ignored her. Elara nudged him. "Are you coming with me? If you're not, I'll just ask Crispin and Juan to go with me."

Lysander turned toward her, giving her a sharp look. "Do you have to stay so close to Juan?"

"I really don't get why you're so prejudiced against her," Elara said. "She used to have feelings for you, and she's over that now. She's changed and won't act like she did before."

"She doesn't like me anymore," Lysander said. "But now, she likes you. Haven't you noticed the way she looks at you every time she sees you? Her eyes practically scream that she wants to glue herself to you. It makes me uncomfortable."

If it were just a normal friendship, he wouldn't care. But the possessive look Juan always had was enough to get under his skin.

"You're being too sensitive," Elara said with a sigh.

Lysander's voice dropped. "Elara, this just proves you don't care about how I feel. Otherwise, you'd listen to me."

"Okay, I'll listen!" Elara said, trying to pacify him. "I'll keep my distance and make sure nothing inappropriate happens between us. Satisfied?"

Elara had never considered that possibility Lysander mentioned, after all. 'I and Juan? That's something Lysander has really gone out of his way to imagine,' she wondered.

Still, to avoid upsetting him further, she didn't argue. Instead, she asked, "So, are you coming with me or not?"

Lysander said. "I'll join you later
