Chapter 156

Finnian studied Amara's expression carefully, asking, "Did something happen between your mom and Fiona?"

If there wasn't some serious bad blood, Amara wouldn't have exploded like that just now.

Even after all these years, it seemed like everyone had forgotten about the deep- seated grudge between her mom and Fiona.

At that moment, Finnian's question brought a flood of memories back, and Amara had to fight the sudden urge to cry.

"Hey, don't cry."

Finnian noticed her red-rimmed eyes, doing his best to ignore the pang of discomfort that stirred within him.
