Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 268

Amara was stunned as she looked at Finnian, hardly believing what she had just heard.

Lately, Finnian had been a constant presence in her life. Sometimes he was a nuisance, other times he was a lifesaver. Her feelings toward him were a tangled mess of contradictions.

But never in her wildest dreams did she think he'd apologize to her.

"Forget about what I said before," Finnian mumbled, his eyes cast downward, hiding his emotions.

"I won't say those things again."

Amara was taken aback.

Were those things the declarations of affection he had made? For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, if only for a brief moment. She quickly composed herself and smiled, "Alright, let's leave the past where it belongs. I won't dwell on it, and I hope you won't either, Mr. Everly."

No matter what Finnian's intentions were, the fact that he had come to apologize and seemed to be closing a chapter in their relationship brought a sense of relief to Amara.

She nodded to Finnian, got out of the car, and left.

Finnian remained seated, watching Amara walk away, his gaze fixed on her until she disappeared into the studio entrance.
