Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 527

“Knock, knock, knock.”

She had just closed her eyes when a rather urgent knocking sounded at her door.

The knock clearly wasn't Finnian's, but it was almost midnight. Who would come looking for her at this hour, and why were they knocking so impatiently?

Amara padded to the door in her slippers. Seeing Hogan standing outside, his face etched with anxiety, her own expression soured. “What are you doing here?”

“Amara, you're getting married?” Hogan asked anxiously. “How can you get married? What about Finnian? Do you have any idea how much he's suffering?”

Hogan had run into Finnian on his way over. He had been shocked by Finnian's appearance; he had never seen him look so heartbroken. The sight had made him so anxious that he came straight to find Amara.

Amara stared straight at Hogan. “None of your damn business.”

“…”

Hogan’s eyes widened. Did he hear that right? The always-gentle Amara just cursed?

Amara had always been a polite person. This was the first time she had ever sworn, but she just couldn't take it anymore.

Being disturbed late at night was one thing, but Hogan was asking such a foolish question. The fact that she didn't slap him again was a testament to her good temper.

“What about your Finnian? He can go to hell!”

“Are you out of your mind? He's about to marry Liliana, and you're coming here asking me what he should do? Hogan, you should really get your head checked!”

After her harsh tirade, Amara shot him a fierce glare and slammed the door in his face.

Larry had agreed. She immediately told Keith, who said it was no problem. He just needed to prepare some gifts for “meeting the father-in-law” and would then come get her.

Soon they were in the car, and about twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Sullivan family home.

Keith got out first, walked around to the other side to open Amara’s door, and then went to the trunk to get the gifts.

Although he detested the scumbag Larry, he was still his future father-in-law. This was his first visit in his capacity as a future son-in-law, so Keith had carefully prepared many gifts, each one expensive. It made even Amara feel a little pained to see them.

They carried the gifts into the villa and saw Larry standing by the sofa, looking at them. Amara first called out, “Dad,” then said, “This is my boyfriend, Keith. You probably know him.”

Keith immediately set down the gifts, gave Larry a slight bow, and said,

“Mr. Sullivan, hello. Do you remember me? When we were kids, both our families lived in the Green Hills neighborhood. We were even next-door neighbors. I used to come over to your house to play with Amara all the time.”
