TimeNovelChapter 344
Elysia threw her arm around Amara's shoulders with a carefree grin. "Let's just sit here and let him do the work.
We'd just get in the way if we tried to help, anyway."
Amara sighed with a helpless smile and plopped down beside Elysia. She gave up on the idea of helping Lucian
and instead joined Elysia in lounging under the warm sun, chatting away.
Lucian was a whirlwind of efficiency, swiftly organizing the massive task all on his
own.
Honestly, the trickiest part of a barbecue is prepping the meat and skewers. The grilling itself is straightforward,
albeit a bit smoky.
Amara and Elysia didn't mind the smoke at all. In fact, they found grilling their own skewers to be quite
entertaining. The three of them gathered around the grill, laughing and cooking together.
Elysia and Lucian enjoyed their beers, while Amara stuck to her fruit juice, especially now that she was pregnant.
They kept the fun going until a little after nine when Elysia's phone buzzed. The screen read "Hubby."
Amara and Lucian fell silent. They all knew the complicated situation between Elysia and her husband, Dorian, so
they let her handle it. Elysia's smile faded as she answered the call.
"Yeah?" she replied coolly. "What's up?"
"Where are you?" Dorian's voice cthrough, sounding as stormy as ever.

By now, the lakeside had quieted down, and the surrounding area was peaceful. Amara and Lucian could easily
overhear Dorian's voice.
"I'm out having fun. Why?"
They hadn't spoken in days, and Elysia wondered what had prompted Dorian to call her tonight.
"When are you coming home?" His words were sharp.
"In a few days."
"How many more days until you're back?"
"Yeah, a few. Why?"
Elysia's tone was casual, neither confrontational nor overly affectionate-just plain and straightforward.
Dorian seemed to say something else, but a sudden gust of wind drowned out his words. Not wanting to bother
asking him again, Elysia ended the call.
Once she hung up, Elysia's smile returned. She clinked her beer bottle against Lucian's.
By the televen rolled around, Elysia and Lucian were still nursing their drinks. They liked to sip and cking
breaks between counds, which is why they were still at it. s

Amara headed back, exhaustion taking over. She quickly got ready for bed, and soon, she was fast asleep.
