After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 215

Elara stared at Lysander. "Why don't you just marry Asher?"

Lysander froze, his gaze fixed on her. "Why would I do that?"

"You seem to like him so much," she replied, glaring at him. "Playing with him is one thing, but then you come back and take it out on me."

"I don't like him," Lysander clarified. "I just can't stand him. And I was being pretty polite today."

"Yeah? Then why do you come home and give me attitude?" she asked.

"I wasn't giving you attitude," he denied,

Elara raised an eyebrow at his sulky expression. "Then what's with making me say I love you?"

Lysander looked at her seriously. "So, you're not going to say it?"

"Because whether I say it or not, the fact that I love you is undeniable," she said firmly.

Hearing that, Lysander rolled over. "Go to sleep." But as he lay flat on his back, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his li before he quickly suppressed it. Elara was speechless. He'd badgered her for ages, and now he just wanted to saying anything in return. Is he

sleep witho messing with me?' she wondered.

"You're not going to say anything? You make me say it, and then you don't respond? Lysander, are you teasing me?" she shouted. "Aren't you tired?" he asked flatly.

"Forget it," Elara muttered, deciding not to bother with him. She wasn't as petty as he was, obsessing over declarations of love all day.

Since Lysander had woken her up, she couldn't sleep. Lying beside him, she watched him. The more she looked, the harder it was not to laugh.

No one would've thought that this towering figure, a four-star general, strict to the core with his subordinates, could have such a lovesick side.

The next day, because Lysander had work in the city, he and Elara left the resort and returned. Juan and Crispin were also there, while Asher and Adair hadn't left yet.

At that moment, Adair was standing in front of Juan, talking to her. "Will you ever be able to stand again?" Adair asked bluntly.
