After Severance,Alpha Fell in Love With Ex-Luna

Chapter 220: Tonight It’s Just the Two of Us

(Elena’s POV)

properly.”

He sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping slightly.

“If you weren’t Professor Theodore Ashworth’s student, I would really want to take you back to Moonridge Territory with me.”

I shook my head, feeling uncomfortable with his praise. “That paper was considered absurd by many at the time. Even I wasn’t confident about it.”
