Chapter 261
Elara looked at Daphne curiously. "So, you mean... you're able to
Daphne smiled and said, "Asher and I relied on our own abilities to get to where we are today. We are better than all of you!"
Elara said, "I hope you'll always have the confidence to say this!"
Because Harold came back, Daphne left.
Natalie got someone to come over and sanitize the place where Daphne had sat. She said, "I'm annoyed whenever I see her! I keep feeling that the places she touches are dirty! Is it because I hate her too much?" Natalie's words made Elara laugh uncontrollably. Looking at Natalie's cute appearance, Elara told her about Daphne's background.
When Natalie heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"
Elara nodded. "Yes."

Natalie said, "This is big news... That Asher... I have to be careful when I see them in the future.*
Elara replied, "Yes. Has Harold been in contact with them recently? Why is Daphne looking for him?"
Natalie wanted to say something but hesitated. Looking at Elara's curious expression, she finally said, "Promise me you won't be angry."
When she said that, Elara's heart skipped a beat. Elara asked, "What's wrong? Why would I be angry?"
Natalie walked to Elara's side and sat down. She said, "My father has a good relationship with Sully Myerson. They've been friends for many years. That's why Sully sometimes comes over to hang out with him."
Hearing Natalie's words, Elara heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that something big had happened.
She said, "I know. When I got married, Sully also came."
Harold was mainly in the hotel business. He would always try to be on good terms with everyone.
Previously, he was very dissatisfied with the Hawthorne family. However, on the surface, he would still interact with them. He was even quite close to Felicity Hawthorne. There was even a period of time when Felicity treated him as a trusted aide. Natalie said, "Sully's sister is called Melody Hacker. She's quite close to Asher. Because of Sully, my father also has contact with Asher and Daphne!"
Elara said, "Harold has an inexplicable favorable impression of Asher, but he always has a problem with Lysander"
"It's all because of my mother!" Natalie said, "I often try to persuade him, but he can't let it go. My father is like that, so don't be angry."
Elara expressed her understanding. "Asher's company is doing quite well now. Everyone wants to work with him."
Not only Harold but there was also a group of people who wanted to get close to Asher. Asher was recently close to Jack's mother.
With Sully and Asher's influence, there were many people who were willing to work with Jack. After all, in the eyes of others, Sully was someone that even Wyatt had to be wary
1. of.
Natalie said, "In any case, I'll still try to persuade my father. I'm just afraid that he won't listen."

Elara said, "As long as you put in the effort, it doesn't matter whether he listens or not."

Anyway, she had never listened to Harold's suggestion before. Natalie heaved a sigh of relief when She saw that Elara was
not angry.
Elara stayed at Natalie's place until nighttime. Lysander then came to pick her up.
When they reached home, the car stopped at the entrance. Lysander carried her out of the car.
Elara said, "I'll walk on my own."
"Didn't your feet hurt?" He looked at her. "I'll
Nou inside."
Elara hugged him and said, "I've gained weight recently."
When Lysander heard her words, he said, "I can carry you. No matter how much weight you gain, I can still carry you."
Elara said, "Don't be like this! I can't control my weight if you do this."
Lysander smiled and said, "As long as you're healthy."
Elara asked, So you really think I am fat?"
Lysander placed her on the sofa and looked at her. "This is a trick question, right?"
"I'm just asking," Elara said, "I couldn't eat previously, but I can eat now. I don't think I've eaten much, but my weight has really increased."
"It's alright." Lysander said, "You're not fat now."
"If I become ugly one day, will still love me like before?"

Lysander sat down beside her. "Do you think your husband such a shallow person? Do I love you just because you're good-looking?"
"Are you saying that I'm not good-looking?"
"Alright!" Lysander said, "You're deliberately trying to anger me."
Elara hugged him. "Hubby, I love you the most! But I still have something to discuss with you."
"What?"
"Can you stop buying clothes for your daughter? It's already too much! What if it's a boy?"
"I just can't help it!"
Elara said, "There are really too many clothes. Please control yourself."
"Yeah."
Ever since Elara got pregnant, Lysander had been busy. Every time he came home, he would bring a lot of stuff that he had bought. It was as if he was afraid that he would not be able to buy it in the future.
He even ordered a pram for the baby. Although he couldn't be pregnant, he wished he could participate in every part.
Elara originally thought that Lysander would accompany her until the baby was born. Eight months later, he was called

Before leaving, Lysander looked at Elara and said, "I'll be back after I complete the mission! I'll be back as soon as possible before the baby is born."
"Yeah." Elara stared at him. She was not as calm as usual.
Seeing that her eyes were red, Lysander hugged her and kissed her on the lips before asking, "What's wrong?"
Elara said, "I don't know. I just can't bear to see you leave."
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but she did not seem to be as calm as usual. Thinking about how he would not be by her side for the next few days, she felt terrible.
When Lysander heard her words, he hugged her. "Be good... I'll try to come back as soon as possible! Don't worry! If there's anything, just look for my family. My father will be here too... Just look for him! No one will bully you."
"I'm not worried about this," Elara looked at Lysander and said, "just can't bear to part with you."
He stuffed a phone into her hand. "I recorded some videos for you. If you can't see me, just watch the videos! You weren't like this in the past. Why are you like this now?"
In the past, every time he left, she would not say that she could not bear to leave him, but she seemed like she wished he could leave her alone.
This time, she suddenly looked sad. Lysander felt that his heart was about to melt. However, since he was needed for work, he could not reject it.
Lysander chatted with Elara on the sofa for a while. He only stood up when Magnus came over to remind him of the time. He said, "I'll see you."
