After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander)
Unveiled 46

Chapter 46

Seeing the two of them, Asher paused, his steps faltering. Especially when he noticed Elara's tear-streaked face, her hand resting on Asher's chest, and Asher holding her hand.

Their relationship appeared far too intimate. Lysander immediately turned around and left.

Elara, realizing this, was momentarily stunned. She pulled her hand away from Asher and looked up at him, her expression filled with disdain.

"If you're not satisfied, the door is right there. You can leave anytime. I'm not clinging to you like I used to." With that, Elara descended the stairs.

Her belongings were in the car, and Lysander stood at the entrance. Elara wiped her tears and walked over to him. "Let's go."

Lysander glanced at her and noticed she had been crying. "Are you okay?"

Elara took a deep breath. "I'm fine."

Seeing that she didn't want to discuss it further, Lysander didn't press her for more details. He opened the car door for Elara. Just as she was about to get in, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her hand. It was Asher, who had chased after her. "Elara, don't go with him," he pleaded, holding her hand firmly.

Elara glared at him, her irritation boiling over. "You're really annoying. You know that?"

Seeing her get upset, Asher begged. "I know I messed up. I won't make you angry again. Please? Stay and let's spend

well." Christmas together. I'll treat you

Asher felt an overwhelming sense of urgency as if letting her go meant he would never have another chance.

Lysander stood nearby, frowning at Asher's appearance. In truth, Lysander had been holding back regarding the situation between Elara and Asher.

Initially, when Asher spoke ill of Elara, Lysander endured it. When he saw them together upstairs, he still held his composure. However, he never expected Asher to follow them here, especially since Elara had just cried because of him. "Let go," Lysander said firmly before Elara could speak, his voice low and commanding.

Lysander was typically non-confrontational, so Elara was taken aback by his assertiveness.

Asher, irritated, shot a glare at Lysander, completely dismissing him. "I'm talking to Elara. What's it to you?"

"I said let go." Lysander insisted, his face hardening.

Asher scoffed, a smirk forming on his lips. "And if I don't? Are you going to hit me?"

Asher didn't believe Lysander would dare to strike him, especially in front of Elara. In fact, Asher secretly hoped Lysander would. He was sure that if Elara witnessed the confrontation, she would be less inclined to stay with Lysander.

No sooner had Asher spoken than Lysander kicked him, sending him flying. Asher crashed into the door, feeling as if his body might split apart.

He had fought before, but never with someone as powerful as Lysander. Lysander appeared to exert little effort, yet Asher felt like he was about to break into pieces.

Still, Asher didn't give in. Holding his stomach where Lysander had kicked him, he continued, "Do you really think Elara

wants to be with you? If it weren't for your family's wealth or Mr. Kensington's influence, do you think Elara would even consider you?"

He paused, then pressed on. "I've known her for a long time. You know how much she likes me without me having to remind you, right?

"Every time you came over before, she chased you away. Now she just wants to use you to boost her grades and impress me. That's all. Do you really think you deserve to be here, talking to me on her behalf?"

The past had always bothered Lysander deeply. At this moment it was mentioned by Asher and Lysander's eyes darkened. "Elara is not your accessory. Even if she likes you, it's not your place to tell her what to do," his tone was deep.

What Lysander hated the most was not that Elara liked Asher. It was because Asher was clearly liked by her, but he still treated Elara badly.

Lysander couldn't accept that the girl he cared about was being mistreated by the loser standing in front of him.

Asher smiled. "So, you still admit that she likes me, right?"

Asher was clearly beaten up and injured, but he still continued to provoke Lysander as if he was the one who won. Asher didn't stop being arrogant until a hard slap landed on his face. The people around him were stunned. Asher looked at the person standing in front of him. The person who slapped him was none other than Elara. Elara looked at him angrily. "Asher, who do you think you are? Don't push your luck."

Asher looked at Elara, clearly realizing she was angry. "Elara..."

Elara interrupted him, "You're not qualified to say those things in front of Lysander! If you still want my father to support you to finish university, please be careful with your words and figure out your identity."

Asher looked at her serious expression. She did not look like the person who had tried to please him in every way.

She was Elara. It was the girl Asher had met for the first time. She was like a princess in front of him, making him feel that she was unattainable.

Although she had shown him a lot of kindness after that, in Asher's eyes, she and he were from another world. And now, the distance between them seemed to have widened again.

Asher looked at Elara. Everyone in the Kensington family was watching him. Asher felt like a clown.

Elara's attitude made it clear that she was on Lysander's side. Elara could humiliate Asher but she would never allow anyone to offend Lysander.

Ignoring Asher, Elara turned around and said to Lysander, "Let's go!"

It was very quiet along the way. Lysander sat beside him and did not say much. He looked a little upset.

Elara guessed that it was because of Asher. "You don't have to take what Asher said to heart."

Lysander nodded. "Okay." His words sounded cold and distant.

Elara said, "Lysander, are you angry?"

Lysander said nothing. Elara took a candy bar out of her pocket and ate it. "Do you want some?"

"No." Lysander rejected her coldly.

Seeing that Lysander did not want to talk to her at all and did not know how to speak, Elara decided to ignore him.

When they arrived at Starfield City, it was already late at night. Hara followed behind Lysander and got out of the car. She saw a row of black luxury cars parked on the road at the entrance

People in suits stood in a row, as neat as a military parade. The man in the lead was wearing a suit and looked serious. When he saw Lysander, he quickly welcomed him with an umbrella. "Hello, Mr. Hawthorne!" Lysander looked at him and said indifferently, "Hello, Anthony."

Anthony made an inviting gesture. "Mr. Hawthorne, please get in the car."

Lysander looked at Elara. Anthony smiled and said, "This is Miss Kensington, right?"

"Take her home first," Lysander said.

"We've arranged for a car to take her back." Anthony nodded.

Someone quickly walked over. "Miss Kensington, please."

Elara said, "No need. My dad arranged for someone to pick me up. Lysander, you can go back first."

It was obvious how much their family valued Lysander. That was why so many people were sent to pick him up. Elara was not used to the scene in front of her and did not want to stay long.

At that moment, someone approached. "Hi, Miss Kensington."

Elara glanced over and recognized it was Chloe Wright, her father's secretary. She felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Hi, Chloe."

Chloe replied, "Mr. Kensington asked me to come and get you."

Elara nodded and turned to Lysander. "Then I'll be on my way. See you later."

Lysander watched her figure as she followed her family to the car before getting in himself and leaving.

The Kensington family had a villa in Starfield City, but Elara hadn't been there much since she had been living in Brookfield.

Chloe sat in the passenger seat. "Mr. Kensington has been busy with meetings lately. He won't be back for a few days, so he asked me to come take care of you."

Elara replied, "Thank you for coming to pick me up."

"It's my pleasure," Chloe said. She had worked alongside Barrett for some time now.

Some time ago, because Chloe had gone back to give birth, she had asked Monica to replace her. Chloe had recently returned to work and taken on the task of looking after Elara.

Once they arrived at the villa, Elara took a shower and freshened up. The house staff had prepared dinner and brought it to

her.

While eating, she called Ursa. Ursa asked, "Mr. Blackwood hasn't had dinner. Should I prepare something for him?"

"Why bother?" Elara replied. "If he doesn't want to eat, then fine. No one's going to pamper him."

'He's the one causing trouble, and now he's blaming me?' Elara thought.

Ursa continued, "Mr. Hawthorne took quite a hit. He's injured pretty badly. But the doctor said it's nothing serious. He just needs a few days to recover."

"As long as he doesn't die, it's fine," Elara said while eating.

Hearing her nonchalant tone, Ursa couldn't help but think, 'It seems Elara really doesn't care about Asher anymore!

After finishing her call with Ursa, Elara hung up. She glanced at her phone and sent Lysander an Instagram message: [Have you arrived?]

'He should be there by now. What is he doing?' Elara thought, feeling a bit anxious. 'He's not still mad, is he?' Asher's words had indeed been a bit excessive, but Elara thought Lysander shouldn't be sulking for so long over it. Lysander, of course, didn't reply. He seemed to dislike using Instagram.

Elara sent him a text message, but there was still no response.

'He just got home. He must be busy,' Elara thought and soon fell asleep.

Before arriving, she had asked her assistant to schedule some property viewings. Since she was in Starfield City, she wanted

to buy a couple of apartments for herself.

Lately, she had developed a penchant for shopping. After signing the contracts for the two properties, Elara checked the time and realized she hadn't contacted Lysander in two days. It felt as if Lysander had completely ignored her. Before her time travel, Elara had shown little interest in Lysander's life in Starfield City. Other than knowing that he had cared about her when she was close to death, she didn't know much about Lysander.

Now, in this unfamiliar place, Elara suddenly realized that she didn't even know where to go if she wanted to see Lysander.

Chloe called to say her uncle wanted to see her, so Elara decided to go.

Elara's mother was from Starfield City, and her uncle had always lived there. However, she remembered that her uncle didn't have much contact with the Kensington family.

They had only seen each other a few times during Christmas, and after that, they had hardly kept in touch. Now that Elara was in Starfield City, with her uncle wanting to reconnect, she felt it was only polite to meet him.

Arriving at the entrance of the mansion, the driver opened the door, and Elara stepped out of the car. As soon as she walked into the estate, she spotted Lysander.

He was flanked by two men in black, and he hadn't noticed her yet. Elara didn't expect to run into him here, and without hesitation, she chased after him. "Hi, Lysander."

Lysander turned around, and a hint of softness flickered in his usually cold eyes. He instructed the two men beside him to leave, and they stepped away. Elara approached him, saying, "What a coincidence to see you here."

Lysander gazed at her silently, his demeanor exuding an air of distance. Noticing his aloofness, Elara asked, "Are you busy? If so, I won't disturb you."

She admitted she was somewhat concerned about him, but his indifference sapped her courage. She didn't want to play the simp for another guy after Asher. just as she turned to leave, Lysander grabbed her hand. Elara looked back at him. "Aren't you angry?"

"Have you eaten?" Lysander didn't directly answer her question.

Elara replied, "No, I've been busy all day. I have a dinner with my uncle here. Would you like to join, or do you have something else to do?" "I'm not busy," Lysander said.

"Then will you come with me to eat?" Elara asked, meeting his gaze.

Seeing her wanting him to stay, Lysander decided to let go of his grievances. Lysander agreed, and Elara led him to the

restaurant.

Elara's uncle hadn't arrived yet, but he had made a reservation. Someone came to escort Elara inside. They settled into a private room.

Elara sat next to Lysander, giving her the chance to address what happened that day. "Are you planning to ignore me?" Lysander looked at her, his deep eyes reflecting her image. "I'm a bit unhappy." "Why?" Elara was surprised to hear him express his unhappiness for the first time.

Lysander averted his gaze, his tone laced with melancholy. "I feel like you don't like me."

Hearing him say that, Elara felt her heart soften immediately. She gazed at Lysander. "Why would you think that?"

'I like you, okay? You are so innocent. If I didn't worry about being too forward and scaring you away, I wouldn't hold back at all,' she thought.

"You're doing really well in your studies now. Once your grades come out, will you still pay attention to me?" Lysander didn't look at her, just quietly expressing his feelings.

Lysander seemed unhappy, likely feeling insecure about his importance to her.

Elara looked at him, smiling, though her eyes began to water. It was evident that someone as wonderful as Lysander worried about her not liking him.

Meanwhile, Asher, who was clearly less impressive than Lysander, carried himself with such confidence as if she couldn't live without him.

Elara said, "Do you really think I'm that heartless? That I'd just use you and throw you away?"

"When you were with Asher..." Lysander finally glanced at her. "You cried in front of him."

This was something Lysander couldn't overlook, and it had been weighing on his mind. Although they spent time together every day, Elara was always gentle around him, almost as if she had no temper.

But in front of Asher, Elara would get angry and lose her cool. They were closer, and her demeanor with Lysander was entirely different from how she acted around Asher.

It seemed that at that moment, Lysander suddenly realized that no matter what, he could never be more important to her than Asher.

Elara heard Lysander's words. "Is this why you've been upset?"

"You never lose your temper in front of me," Lysander muttered

Elara responded, "Are you saying you want to see me angry? But what if I scare you away?"

Lysander appeared cold as if he could leave her at any moment, which made Elara hesitant to show any anger toward him.
