Seeing this, Daphne breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Asher wis willing to be with Elara, she would be at ease.
In contrast to her complete composure, Lizzie was extremely worried. "Daphne, I'll call Asher and give him a piece of my mind."
"No need!" Daphne stopped her. "Isn't it good right now?"
If they weren't together, she wouldn't be at ease.
In the car. Elara asked Asher, "Where are you going?"
"Can't I go to your place?" Asher looked at Elara and asked.
Elara looked at him, seeing his eagerness to go back with her. "Sure!" she replied.
If he wanted to, she wouldn't stop him.
Asher sat beside her, staring at Elara. Recalling Daphne's indifference toward him, he truly wanted to be with Elara at this moment. 'Didn't she always like pushing me toward others? Be it then! When they got home, Lysander had already arrived.
Elara got out of the car, feeling a little happy seeing him.
Unlike the persona she put on in front of Asher, she approached Lysander and asked, "You came so early today?"
"I wanted to come earlier," Lysander replied.
"Let's go upstairs for the lesson. Wait for me in the study. I'll be night there after changing. Elara added.
As Elara entered the door, Lysander remained outside while Asher followed in, asking Elara. "You called him over?"
"He's my tutor now." Elara looked at Asher. "What's wrong? Can't he come?"
"Who do you think you are?' she retorted inwardly.
I can
also tutor you." Asher looked at her. He didn't want to see Lysander around in this house.
Hearing his words, Elara couldn't help but chuckle
"What's so funny?" Asher frowned.
"Haven't you seen how much my grades improved after he tutored me?" Elara retorted. "If I relied on you to tutor me, could I even get into Queensun University?"
Recalling the past tutoring sessions, Asher frowned. He had issues with Elara, so during their tutoring sessions, he had no patience at all, even finding her annoying. Being refused by Elara now, he couldn't even find words to refute her. Elara went upstairs.
Asher turned around and saw Lysander walk in. He blocked the way, warning, "Lysander"
Lysander's gaze Tell on him.
In fact, this was the firsttime Asher had addressed Lysander so formally since their confrontation began. Previously, the two had been competing behind the scenes without direct verbal exchanges. Asher adopted an authoritative stance. "Do your best to tutor Ela The SAT is not far off, and if she doesn't get into a good university, she might blame you."
Lysander, pondering with his always top-scoring mind, couldn't figure out why Asher would say such things. He calmly stated, "She is my fiancée, and helping her with her studies is my duty."
Hearing him declare the word "fiancée" so confidently, Asher was momentarily speechless.
Although Barrett treated him well and also wanted him to join the company, Asher was clear that Barrett's expectations for him were the same as those for all impoverished students, Barre treated others the same. But only Lysander was the ideal son-in-law in his eyes. To avoid losing his composure, Asher said sincerely, "I am well aware of the fact that you are her fiance. Although Elara has always liked me, rest assured... I have my love and won't fight with you for her."
By saying so, it seemed as if he was giving Elara to Lysander. Although he didn't like Elara, he just couldn't stand Lysander's haughty demeanor and always wanted to annoy him.
After changing her clothes, Elara went to the study and saw Lysander standing by the window, looking outside.
It wasn't hot nor particularly cold today, and the windows were open.
Lysander had set aside his black jacket, wearing only a T-shirt.
"I'm back!" Elara said.
Lysander turned around, looking at her. "Mhm."""
Elara sat down at her desk.
Lysander came over and sat beside her. Before coming over, he had already prepared some questions for her. He handed her the written questions directly and asked her to start. Elara wrote e with great seriousness.
Meanwhile, Lysander watched her silently, thinking about Asher's ridiculous provocation downstairs earlier.
Asher had said, "Elara likes me..." But Lysander remembered Elara's indifferent expression when they returned yesterday and how she indifferently instructed someone to call the police at Jefferson's pleading. "Does she like Asher? I don't think so." Compared to the calm Lysander, Asher downstairs was feeling rather restless right now. He recalled that after he said that sentence, Lysander didn't react at all and went upstairs.
"Why hasn't he come down after half an hour? Shouldn't he be furious and arguing with Elara? Does he have no self-respect at all? Or is it... Asher was starting to suspect that maybe Lysander didn't understand what he meant.
After some time, he finished his homework, took a leave online with his boss, and eveu finished reading a book before -seeing Elara and Lysander come downstairs.
Barrett was also home today. Along with Asher and Lysander, they had dinner together.
Elara sat next to Lysander, who ate with a great deal of elegance
She picked up the serving fork and put some celery on his plate. Try some of this Ursa said that celery can help with sleep."

Wed, Nov 6
"Thank you," Lysander replied.
Seeing the two getting along so well and not being affected by the incident involving Asher, Barrett felt relieved.
In fact, he had his own motives for letting Asher stay at home. The affair between Elara and Asher had caused quite a stir. He was very worried that Lysander might be unhappy about it.
Asher, sitting beside them, found it a bit absurd to see Elara showing such concern for Lysander. Didn't she like me? Why is she being so nice to Lysander? She had seemed so concerned about me just yesterday!' After dinner. Lysander left.
Elara saw him off, inquired about his sleeping, and watched him get into the car.
Turning back, she saw Asher coming out and staring at her meaningfully. "Why didn't you make a sound? You scared me,"
she asked.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Asher stared at her, questioning, "Do you like Lysander?"
"No, she replied almost instantly.
"But you treat him quite well!" Asher seemed a bit confused about who her fiancé was when he said this.
Elara pursed her lips tightly, choosing not to argue with him. With patience, she lied, 'He's introduced by my dad. I have to show my dad some respect, right? It's all an act
She remembered Asher put on the same act in front of her after she transferred the company to him before she time-traveled. Every time she caught him with Daphne, he always had various excuses.
