Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 191

"You don't need to take the blame on yourself, saying how you and that guy were childhood sweethearts, destined to be together, even if Finn wasn't in the picture. That's what I thought at the time, but once I got home, I started to see things differently. If your relationship with that childhood friend was so solid, you would've married him early on. Why else would you marry into our family? Something must've gone wrong between you two back then."

Kevin sighed deeply, as if recalling old memories, his eyes carrying a touch of melancholy.

"In these three years you've been with us, you've been a devoted wife to Finn- buying clothes, cooking meals, doing all sorts of things for him. I saw it all.

I believe, at least during that time, you genuinely wanted to make it work with Finn. But he let you down. Not only did he divorce you after three years, but he also ran off with that actress. That's why you became disappointed and turned to an old flame."

Amara's eyes were red-rimmed as she clutched Kevin's hand.

"Grandpa, I really wanted to make it work with Finnian back then, but his heart wasn't with me."

Kevin wasn't entirely correct-Keith wasn't an old flame. They were just childhood friends all along.

But Kevin voiced what was in her heart. During those three years, she had truly tried with Finnian.

As Amara's tears fell, Kevin wiped them away gently, feeling a pang of sympathy.
