Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 398

Back when they used to eat together, Keith was always looking out for Amara like this, so no one found it surprising. Still, someone couldn't resist making a playful comment or two.

But this time, something was different-Finnian had started looking after Liliana as well.

He wasn't nearly as attentive to Liliana as Keith was to Amara, but it was still a marked improvement from before.

Louis, the producer, clearly remembered his last slip-up. Wary of offending either Liliana or Finnian again, he seized the chance to smooth things over: "Mr. Everly, you really dote on Ms. Porter, don't you? You haven't stopped looking after her since we sat down. Only you young people are that close these days."

"If it were me and my wife-old married couple that we are-forget about looking after each other at the table. We'd be sitting as far apart as we could manage, just waiting for the meal to end."

Everyone burst out laughing and ran with Louis's comments. "Mr. Everly, you're so good to Ms. Porter-it's true love!" "When's the wedding?" The table hummed with cheerful banter.
