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. What infuriated her was that her own son had dared to snap back at her in front of that little tramp and half the household staff, even threatening her outright. The memory made her blood boil all over again.

But today wasn't about lecturing Amara. Emma wasn't in the mood for

unnecessary drama, and she forced herself to bite back the urge to lash out at her. Turning to Finnian, she said, “Come here. There's something important I need you to take care of."

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

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

Still, she reminded herself of her real purpose today and swallowed her irritation. "It's important, just come with me. I'll explain everything when we get there."
