Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 158

The more Elysia talked, the more she was convinced that Keith was the perfect match for Amara. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yeah, you think I'm right for her too, right? But the thing is, she's still married," Keith sighed, feeling a little helpless.

Lately, he found himself acting strangely whenever Amara was around. Each time he saw Amara, his heart would race, and he had this overwhelming urge to be near her, maybe even give her a playful nudge. And when she wasn't around, he couldn't stop thinking about her. If that wasn't a crush, then what was it?
