Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 393

He hadn't forgotten the last time he and Amara were in the kitchen, cooking together, when Emma suddenly burst in and unleashed a tirade on Amara.

Amara had been so humiliated and furious that day, and her anger had lit a fire in him as well. He swore to himself he'd never let her go through something like that again.

Emma, for her part, remembered the incident too. In her mind, she'd only said a few words to Amara, and that as a mother, she had every right.

Finnian didn't budge. "What is it?"

Realizing she couldn't even command her own son anymore only made Emma more exasperated.
