After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 257

Asher said, "You're introducing Dana to an old man? She complained all the way to the Hawthorne family's home!"

Hearing this, Daphne frowned. "How could that be? Where did introduce her to an old man? Mrs. Smith's brother isn't old at all. He just returned from studying abroad! How could he be id?" She added, "Dana is being dramatic! And why did she complain to Elara? Does she see Elara as her real family?

"Asher, your sister is just like your mother. Neither of them sees you as family. In this house, it's only you and me on the same side."

Asher didn't want to argue with Daphne about this.

He stood up and said, "I'll go get her."

"I'll go with you," Daphne said, her tone gentle. "You're so tired. Let me keep you company."

The two left together.

At the Hawthorne family's residence, as dinner wrapped up, Ursa walked in. "Mrs. Hawthorne, Mr. Hawthorne. Asher and his wife are here."

When Dana heard this, she immediately stood up, clearly agitated.

She turned to Elara. "Elara." She was close to tears and looked worried.

Elara noticed Dana's fear and reassured her gently, "Don't worry We're all here. They're just coming over to talk. It's nothing serious. Let them in." Ursa nodded. "Alright."

Dana turned to Elara, her voice trembling. "Elara, I don't want to go back. I'd rather wait here until my mom arrives."

Seeing Dana's anxious expression, Elara said, "If you don't want to go back with them, then don't. Wait here until your mom gets back."

Even so, Dana pressed her lips together, her eyes filled with worry.
