Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 125

In the cozy living room, Liliana pulled Finnian down onto the couch, wrapping her arms around his. With a playfully sweet tone, she said, "After that fall into the water, the doctor advised me to stay in bed and rest. But I felt okay, so I insisted on going back to the film set.

But filming is really exhausting, and I'm worried it might be too much. I can handle being tired, but I'm concerned about our baby," she added, guiding Finnian's hand to her still-flat belly, inviting him to feel their unborn child.

Finnian, a man of few words on a good day, seemed even more distant than usual. He had been quiet all day, and since they entered the house, his handsome features had remained cool and distracted, his thought inscrutable.

Liliana, recalling the events of the day, watched him closely. "Finn, why aren't you saying anything?"

Without warning, Finnian withdrew his hand, stood up, and announced, "I have something to do. Gotta go. You should get some rest."

As he turned and left without a hint of hesitation, Liliana was taken aback. Something was definitely off with Finnian today. Though his demeanor was subtle, Liliana could sense the change.
