Under the Veil I Rule

Emma was holding Liliana's hand, treating her like family, and Liliana's genuine, warm smile showed they were having a great time chatting.

"Finn, you're here!" Emma exclaimed.

Most of the time, Emma was quite fond of her son, and seeing him approach, she stood up to greet him warmly. "Come over here. I came to check on Liliana and brought her some supplements."

"You really should have told me sooner that Liliana was expecting. I would've flown back from abroad to take care of her." Emma continued.

Liliana nodded, and Emma said, "Perfect, while the baby is still small, let's get the wedding organized. If we wait until your belly's bigger, it won't look as nice in the wedding dress. Plus, it wouldn't reflect well on the Everly family to have a big belly at the wedding."
