Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 258

Amara felt a twinge of nerves as she cautiously watched Finnian's expression. He looked a bit somber and didn't say a word.

He never really understood Amara's perspective. To him, her family background seemed pretty dire, so perhaps when she married him, she hoped for a fresh start. But instead of providing that, he wondered if he had only let her down.

"I was really against the idea of marriage back then," Finnian murmured softly, "and all I could think about was my grandmother's illness."

Amara was a bit surprised. Finnian against marriage? That was news to her. She never heard of him having such reservations.

Then again, Liliana was pregnant now, and she had already publicly called Finnian her husband. Surely, they were heading down the aisle soon.

Even with his supposed aversion to marriage, Finnian was ready to marry Liliana. That must be true love, Amara thought, feeling a pang of sadness. She quickly brushed aside those useless thoughts and said, "Marriage is different for everyone. Some anticipate it, some dread it. I think it's fine as long as people find what works for them."

Their conversation was getting too deep for Amara's liking, so she decided to put an end to it. "It's getting late, Mr. Everly. Shall we go?"
