After Death, Love Unveiled (Elara and Lysander)

Elara was driving. When she heard her assistant's words, she smiled helplessly. "If you face an enemy stronger than you and have oppressed you for a long time, can you use normal methods to solve the problem?"

"His father isn't a powerful person. Isn't he just an old man from the village?" The assistant was confused.

"But in their home, at least for all these years, he has always had he initiative. It's what people are like. After being locked in a cage for a long time, even if the cage opens one day, the person who is locked up doesn't dare to go out easily. It's human nature. They're full of weaknesses and are easy to manipulate."

Most of the time, it was not the outside world that restricted him, but their inner demons.

Tyler Gilbert, Silas's father, was the inner demon in Silas's heart.

Silas was afraid and hated him to the core, but he did not dare to resist easily...

Therefore, when he resisted, he wanted to kill the other party in one go.

Silas didn't want to give his father chances to torture him. That was why he'd schemed so hard and been so ruthless.

The assistant looked at Elara and said, "You know quite a lot. But... why do you seem to be very experienced

After some silence, Elara said, "I've seen such a person before. He's outstanding outside but was like Silas in front of his father."

That person was naturally Asher.

Asher's situation was similar to Silas's.

However, in comparison, Asher was considered the lucky one.

He had left his father and was getting better now.

She thought back to when she'd seen him this morning. He'd said he didn't know how to interact with people.

*****

Elara returned to the Hawthorne family's residence. As soon as she entered, Zavala sent a message saying she had made ravioli at home and asked Elara to come and eat them. Felicity was not around, and no one else was in the Hawthorne family's house. It looked cold.

Therefore, Elara went to Zavala's house.

Elara ate with Zavala. Zavala sighed and said, "Adair still locked herself in her room and won't come down to eat. I don't know how long she'll be angry." Elara said, "The ravioli is delicious."

Zavala's eyes lit up. "If you like it, you can tell me anytime. I make ravioli especially well."

Elara said, "Thank you, Zavala."

While they were talking, Evelyn walked in. "Hi, Zavala."

Seeing Elara was there, she said, "I was wondering why there was no one next door. It turns out Elara is here, too."

Zavala said, "Felicity has gone out to work recently, so there's no one at home. It's almost Christmas. I'm relatively free, so I called Elara over for dinner"

"I want some too." With that, Evelyn sat down.

Zavala asked someone to bring her a set of cutlery.

Evelyn sat at the side and ate happily. "Your cooking is still the best."

"How's your dating going?" Zavala asked curiously.

Evelyn said, "It's alright. I'm dating a sports student. His stamina is alright." Elara was speechless. 'Adults' topic again. Fortunately, there're no kids here! Zavala looked at Evelyn and said, "Elara is still here. Be careful what you say." "It's not like Elara can't hear it." Evelyn said to Elara, "How's work recently?" "Pretty good," Elara said, just went to the countryside today and just came back."

"You're so energetic," Evelyn said, "I would have retired now if it weren't for the fact that the law firm needed me."

Zavala said, "You don't like being a lawyer. Why did you study law back then? Isn't that tiring?"

It was not easy to learn, to begin with, yet Evelyn did it.

Evelyn said, "At that time, I didn't know what to learn and was quite confused... I got deceived by a certain woman. She asked me to be with her, and I listened." Zavala laughed. "Who is it? Ziva?"

"Who else could it be other than her?" Evelyn said, "By the way, where's Adair?"

"Upstairs," Zavala replied.

"Ask her to come down for dinner," Evelyn said, "I heard today that she fell out with Asher and even withdrew her investment from Asher's company. Is that true?" "That's right," Zavala said, "When I mention this, she will explode."

"Is she still going to marry Asher?" Evelyn asked.

"How can they get married since they're in such a situation now?" Zavala sighed. "He doesn't like her, but she insists on being with him. What the hell is wrong with Asher? He's already engaged, but he's still like this." "Even I couldn't take him down back then, yet Adair still wanted to be with him." Evelyn's lips twitched. "Asher could play with her like a dog."

"You're so close to Asher?" Zavala looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn said, "He's my friend's son. Shouldn't I help take care of him?"

Zavala sighed. "No wonder he's so stubborn. He doesn't care about Adair at all."

They had just gotten engaged, and things had developed this way.

If it were ordinary people, they would come and coax her.

However, he did not...

He did not coax Adair and even took the initiative to break up.

Evelyn said, "This has nothing to do with me. But you can't blame anyone else for this. Adair made a scene and even hit others.

"Does she get too used to being a wealthy lady and think she can bully the weak? But Daphne is something. She can play Adair like a fool. No wonder..."novelbin

At this point, Evelyn glanced at Elara.

Elara met Evelyn's gaze and instantly realized that Evelyn was hinting at her.

Speaking of Daphne, Elara felt she was indeed hateful.

Zavala said, "I hope Adair can let it go. It's good to suffer a little. Ever since she was young, she has barely suffered."

After Elara finished eating, she listened to them discuss Adair before returning.

As soon as she reached the courtyard, she saw the lights in Lysander's room were on.

He was back...

Elara hurried upstairs.

She opened the door and saw Lysander changing.

After she came in, she stood by the door and sized him up...

Lysander did not dodge. He saw her standing there and staring at him. "Does it look good?"

Elara asked, "Why did you come back later than me?"

"I was busy." Lysander put on his clothes and walked over. He stood in front of her. "Have

you eaten?"

"Forget it," Lysander said, "I don't like it."

Although Lysander was from Starfield City, he grew up in Brookfield.

He didn't like ravioli that much.

Elara said, "Then eat me."

As she spoke, she jumped onto him.

He hugged her tightly and looked at her with deep eyes. "Are you sure?"

Elara looked at his handsome nose bridge. Of course, she was joking with him. "I'm exhausted today. I didn't do anything but feel that it's tiring."

Lysander said, "Then go to bed early."

"I haven't showered yet."

"Go wash up now. With that, he carried her into the bathroom

Soon, Elara chased him out.

Lysander stood at the door and smiled helplessly before sitting on the sofa.

When Elara came out of the bathroom, she saw him sitting on die sofa with his long legs crossed. His posture was relaxed, and he had a military book on his lap. He was flipping through it Seeing him like this, she subconsciously blushed...
