Chapter 220

By all accounts, their marriage was nothing related to a love story, so their breakup should've been a clean, amicable one. Yet, when Amara declared she would never marry again, it sounded like the words of someone nursing a broken heart.

Liliana snuck a glance at Finnian, eager to gauge his reaction to Amara's declaration. But Finnian's face was as unreadable as a poker player's, leaving her with nothing to go on.

Liliana's eyes sparkled with a hint of longing. "Once you're married, you have a partner who completes your soul and someone who genuinely cares about you. That kind of emotional fulfillment is something money can't buy."
