After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander)
Unveiled 70

Chapter 70

Elara originally thought the Hawthorne family wouldn't like her at all. However, when they met, she discovered that was not the case. They didn't even seem to mind her casual attire.

The family was quite large, and after a round of introductions, Elara couldn't remember many names. There was Lysander. his uncle, and others. His father was the second eldest in the family. But Elara did recognize a familiar face, the woman who drove a Ferrari and had spoken to Asher at the entrance, trying to take him home.

She arrived last, and everyone seemed accustomed to her lateness. It was only the eldest uncle who commented on her tardiness. "Evelyn, why do you always arrive so late?" he asked.

"It's just a family dinner, not a United Nations conference. You all are too uptight, she replied nonchalantly as she took her

Elara couldn't help but stare at her. Felicity noticed Elara's gaze and introduced them "Elara, this is Lysander's Aunt. Evelyn Hawthorne."

Evelyn's eyes landed on Elara, and she smiled. "So, this is Lysander's fiancée? She's quite lovely," she said.

"Hello, Evelyn," Elara responded politely.

Evelyn gave her an approving smile in return. She was indeed beautiful, but Elara couldn't shake the memory of Evelyn being with Asher last time.

When they were finishing dinner, Elara excused herself to use the restroom. As she entered, she saw Evelyn holding her phone and adding a handsome young man on WhatsApp. He looked to be around twenty, still quite young

Once finished, Evelyn said cheerfully, "Make sure to come replace me tonight."

The young man walked away, looking a bit bashful. Elara's eyes widened in surprise at the scene she had just witnessed.

Seeing Elara, Evelyn didn't say anything. Elara stepped into the restroom, where she found Evelyn reapplying her lipstick. "Hi, Evelyn, Elara said.

Evelyn glanced at her through the mirror, casually asking. "What do you think of that young man I just added? Is he handsome!"

Elara hesitated for a moment, wondering if Evelyn would let slip her earlier encounter with Asher. But then Evelyn openly asked her the question.

"He's pretty handsome," Elara replied,

Evelyn shrugged "Honestly, he's just okay."

"Really?" Elara was surprised.

"My friend mentioned introducing her son to me. That kid is actually good-looking, but unfortunately, he has a bit of a temper. He hasn't replied to my messages yet," Evelyn said.

For a moment, Elara didn't know what to say. She felt incredibly awkward, thinking that she and Evelyn weren't that familiar with each other.

"Evelyn, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to tell me all this! Elara said. She genuinely didn't want to know her secrets.

Evelyn gave a light scoff at her words. "Are you secretly looking down on me?"

Elara quickly replied, "No, not at all."

"It's normal not to understand," Evelyn responded calmly. "When you reach my age, you'll realize how wonderful having a young man can be. You see. There's no man who is forever eighteen, but there's always a man who will remain eighteen." Elara found herself at a loss for words. "Well, okay then,' she wondered.

As their conversation came to a close and Evelyn prepared to leave, she glanced at Elara. "What was your name again?"

"Elara," she answered.

"Oh, right." Evelyn said. "Your mother named you. I can never seem to remember it."

"Do you know my mother?" Elara asked, curious,

Evelyn smiled slightly. Tm off now," With that, she walked out the door.

When Elara emerged from the restroom, she found Lysander waiting for her by the entrance, holding her bag.

"Where are your parents?" Elara inquired as she approached him.

"They've all left, he replied.

"You're the best," Elara said with a smile. "You always wait for me!

Lysander looked at her, recalling how earlier that day, she had said in front of Aubrey that she wasn't his girlfriend yet.

"What are you staring at?" Elara asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I have something to tell you, Lysander said, his expression unusually serious.

Noticing his somber demeanor, Elara teased "What? Are you about to confess your feelings for me?"

For a moment, Lysander was at a loss for words. Her comment made his ears turn slightly red, leaving him unsure of how to respond. After a brief pause, he finally said, "It's about school."

"What about school?" Elara asked, puzzled

Lysander seemed to brace himself as if making a significant decision. "Elara, I don't think I can accompany you to Queensun University"

He already had a guaranteed spot at Queensun University, and Elara was considering applying there.

Lysander felt that discussing this with her now felt somewhat unfair. He had been anxious about this matter for days, fearing it would upset her. "Why?" Elara pressed.

"Because I'm going to military school, Lysander explained. "It's what my father wants, and I've already agreed to it. The

Elara gazed at him, noting the seriousness etched on his face. His eyes were tinged with sadness as if saying this would make her upset with him. 10:55 Thu, Nov 7 DU

"Is that all You're acting so serious over this?" she asked, trying to lighten the mood.

"You're not upset?" he asked, surprised as he looked at her.

Elara replied firmly. "This is your goal, your life. Whatever you choose, I will absolutely support you."

des, his decision to attend military school was undoubtedly a good one. Before her time travel, he had been on a solid path. He couldn't just change his life goals for her.

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Lysander let out a sigh of relief. "I've really thought about this for a long time and haven't dared to tell you."

Lysander had been staying by Elara's side lately because he wanted to cherish this time with her. Once he started attending military school, his time with her would undoubtedly be limited. He wouldn't be able to focus all his thoughts on her. Seeing the serious look on his face, Elara reached out and tugged at his sleeve, trying to comfort him. "Lysander, just stick to your plans and do what you want to do. I'm sure you'll have a bright future ahead.

Lysander nodded in response to her words. As Elara walked ahead, she sighed. "I thought you were about to confess your feelings to me. You made me worry for nothing!"

Lysander watched her back with a helpless smile. 'Perhaps it's better to wait a little longer,' he wondered.

When the SAT T scores were released, Elara was relieved to see she had done well. After her previous failures before her time travel, she couldn't allow herself to feel too proud until things were certain However, Lysander didn't seem surprised at all when he saw her scores.

'She's the student I taught, he thought, brimming with confidence in her.

Elara had applied to the law school at Queensun University, the same major as her mother, and she was successfully accepted.

During the summer, she obtained her driver's license. She had initially thought that after getting her license, she could drive around in the Porsche her father gifted her.

However, she soon discovered that while obtaining the license was straightforward, actually driving wasn't as easy. After only driving a couple of times, she decided to set the car aside.

When school started, Lysander began his studies. The management at the military school was quite strict, not allowing Lysander to go home often. Yet Elara could.

One afternoon, when Elara entered the dorm, she heard her roommates Quarry and Cynthia chatting.

"Theard that Mr. Blue-Blooded's girlfriend is at our school, Quarry said.

Cynthia replied, "Do you refer to Lysander back from Brookfield

"That's him! Who else would dare to call themselves Mr. Blue-Blooded besides hirn?" Quarry chuckled.
