Chapter 13

Until Grace passed? Amara was momentarily stunned, unable to make sense of what she just heard.

Then it clicked. In some local traditions here, people often said that after someone passed away, it took about forty-nine days for them to fully move on.

That was roughly two months, which was probably why Kevin had suggested it. Amara glanced over at Finnian, who was already looking her way. She quickly said, "I'm fine with whatever."

Seeing no objection from her, Finnian replied coolly, "Alright."

Kevin nodded. "Then, for now, you two should stay at here and keep her company."

Amara hesitated. She wanted to say that Grace wasn't particularly fond of her and might get upset if she stayed there. But the lady had passed, and it seemed unnecessary to bring it up. Besides, she would soon be busy with her film crew and wouldn't have much time at home anyway, so she nodded.

Finnian, on the other hand, was a workaholic, spending most of his day at the office. To him, home or a hotel was all the same, so he too agreed.
