Chapter 79

Harold didn't bother to deal with these troublesome matters. Nora seemed like a nice person to him at first. She had a decent education and was quite perceptive while working. But he never expected she would be this type of person. After Natalie got out of the car, an inexplicable silence fell inside Lysander sat next to Elara, who stopped talking. She was much quieter than when Natalie was around..

After a while, feeling a bit thirsty. Elara picked up a bottle of water and took a sip. Once she finished, she asked, "Do you want

some water?"

Lysander looked at Elara, recalling the time they went to Lodorwood to see Barrett together. Back then, he had handed her water to break the silence. He extended his hand to pass the water to her.

Elara observed Lysander. He had moved to sit beside her right after Natalie left the car. Elara had expected him to say something, but he remained silent, leaving it up to her to initiate. She said, "Why aren't you talking?"

Lysander gazed out the window. Flara, about to complain, felt his hand suddenly grasp hers. His palm was warm, and that reassuring touch made her heart feel warm as well.

Even though they had grown familiar over the summer, his awkwardness upon their recent meeting surprised Elara

Elara recalled the last time she showed a photo of herself and Lysander together, people said that they didn't seem close at all and she didn't look like Lysander's girlfriend. "I'm a bit upset, Elara admitted. Lysander turned to face her, his gaze illuminated by the light from outside as he looked at

her face.

Elara said, "Let me show you this." She pulled out her phone and flipped through her photos to replace the one she wanted to share.

"What's wrong?" Lysander asked, glancing at the picture, which was simply a photo of the two of them together. He didn't see any issue.

Elara explained, "I went to a party last time, and everyone said Daphne was your girlfriend. I told them she wasn't, and then I showed them this photo. You know what they said?" "What?" he prompted.

"They said it looked like we weren't close at all, she replied.

Lysander responded, 'It looks fine to me."

Surprised by his nonchalant reaction, Elara thought he really was a blockhead. Unable to hold back, she bluntly asked. "Lysander, do you not like me?"

Upon hearing her question, Lysander looked up at her, his gaze seeming to issue a warning. "What did you say? I didn't catch

that.

Recognizing his warning, Elara replied. "Then why do you always act like we're not close? Don't you want to be affectionate with me?!

Lysander instinctively glanced at the driver.

The driver was very professional and, of course, didn't laugh out

Elara looked at him. "Hmmm?

In the next moment, Lysander had already raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace like a wave. "I like you very much.""

The sudden hug enveloped her

It had been so long since they last saw each other, and Elara adititted she missed him a bit. Leaning against him, she felt incredibly relaxed.

Elara couldn't help but complain, "You were gone for such a long time. Every time I tried to call you, I couldn't get through. I had no idea when you'd be available."

Lysander looked down at her in his arms. Because he had kept his distance for so long, pulling her close made him a bit apprehensive at first. But he was slowly adapting to it. He patiently listened to her complaints.

It was just complaints, not anger. Lysander really liked this feeling and understood her feelings perfectly. Not only did she miss him but he also missed her.

They had spent every day together before, and this was the first time they had been apart for such a long duration. When Lysander checked his phone, he found that she had sent him quite a few messages, sharing some of her experiences. When he got his phone, he checked it and found that she had sent him quite a few messages, sharing some of her experiences

Lysander read every single one, and it felt like her adorable complaints about him came alive in his mind. And now, here she was, the most authentic version of her, pressed against the spot near his heart.

Ive been really busy," Lysander admitted. He was different from others. He had always been given high expectations. H training sessions required more effort than most.

Originally, he wasn't even supposed to come back this time. With rare time off, Lysander should have rested, but he wanted to see Elara,

"I know," Elara replied. There was no such thing as unearned success in this world. He must have worked hard to get to where he was before Elara's time travel.

That evening. Lysander stayed at Elara's house. Of course, he was in the guest room. He had lived at her place for a while, so there was a room for him.

Early the next morning. Elara received a phone call from someone close to Lysander. They said Wyatt had invited her to lunch at the Hawthorne residence. She knew it was for Lysander.

The moment Lysander returned, he came straight to Elara. The Hawthorne family must have had some objections to that.

Wyatt wanted to see his son but knew that asking directly wouldn't work, so the call came to Elara instead. After Elara agreed, they both headed to the Hawthorne family for lunch.

The chef at the Hawthorne residence was quite good. Elara focused on her meal, while Felicity occasionally offered her

food.

Although she wasn't Lysander's biological mother, she was nothing like the stereotypical stepmothers seen on television. Every time Felicity met Elara, she was warm and welcoming Seeing Lysander, Felicity never said anything unpleasant in front of him. Wyatt asked Lysander a few questions about his training. After finishing their meal, they exited the Hawthorne residence. There was nothing wrong with the lunch itself, but Lysander seemed very uncomfortable at home, unlike how he was when he was with Elara. As he had said, they were being too polite to him. If Aubrey caused trouble, he would get scolded, but Lysander wouldn't. He was treated like a guest, handled with care.

Chapter 79

In the car on the way home, Elara sat beside Lysander. Remembering how Natalie had complained to her about the men in the Hawthome family, she felt puzzled.

Elara had observed for a long time and couldn't see any problems with them.

Just then, her assistant called. "Miss Kensington, the Tillman family has sent over a gift as an apology. They say it's for their daughter Jacqueline. It has already arrived at your house" Elara replied. "Wow, they sure are quick to react."

When they got home, the gift was indeed there. Elara said to Lynder, "It's clear they really want to curry favor with you, Lysander.

Last night, Lysander's men had slapped Jacqueline, and she had been sent to the police station.

The Tillman family had managed to get Jacqueline released, but they were still worried about upsetting Lysander, so they sent the gift first to show their sincerity.

Seeing Jacqueline's father so earnest made Elara let go of her grievances about the situation. After all, Jacqueline now knew Daphne's true identity.

"By the way how's Daphne doing?" Elara asked.

Lysander replied, "She said she's dating that guy!"

After all, she was a student at Queensun University, and it was difficult to replace evidence that she had intentionally posed as Lysander's girlfriend. All those rumors had come from Jacqueline Now that Daphne was released, things had calmed down. Nora had taken Natalie's clothes for Daphne to wear. They agreed to compensate for Natalie's clothes, and now, they had reconciled. Those two outfits weren't cheap. The Wagner family had essentially given up a lifetime's savings, and Daphne had paid at price for this.

And Daphne's mother could no longer work as a servant in Starfield City anymore. Since Natalie had spread this news, Nora had already been blacklisted.

Originally, Nora had wanted to stay by Daphne's side at all times, but it had ended up like this. In the end, Nora had to return to Brookfield, leaving Daphne to continue her studies here.

Daphne spent the day handling these matters and saw her mother off from Starfield City before returning to school. Jacqueline, whom Daphne had outsmarted, was furious and was waiting for her in the dormitory. "Daphne, how dare you come back? I thought you'd drop out right away!"
