Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 608

Here is the revised and polished translation, faithful to the original and fully adapted for American readers:

But then she remembered it was Finnian who had said that, and the thought amused her so much that a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Finnian noticed her sudden smile and asked curiously, “What are you smiling at?”

Amara quickly composed herself. “It’s nothing.”

Seeing that Finnian was still watching her—probably waiting for an answer about the child's father—she hesitated for a moment before saying, “Let’s not talk about him. I don’t want to bring him up.”

Why not? Finnian recalled that Amara once admitted she had feelings for that man. Did that mean she still hadn’t moved on from him?

So now, Amara’s heart held not only Keith, but also that other man—while there seemed to be no place for him at all. A trace of bitterness crept into Finnian’s chest.

Noticing his spirits drop, Amara couldn’t figure out what was going on in his head and decided to change the subject. “Mr. Everly, I noticed the trending topics kept disappearing today. Were you the one suppressing them?”

Finnian nodded. Amara said, “Thank you, but you don’t have to do that anymore. Just let it run its course.”

This story was getting way too much attention. Even if he spent a fortune to bury it, it would just resurface again. It wasn’t worth the effort—or the money—so it was better to just leave it alone.

Finnian didn’t respond. Instead, he asked her another question. “How are things between you and Keith? Are you two officially over?”

What was that supposed to mean? Was he hoping she and Keith had broken up?

Annoyed, Amara deliberately replied, “I wouldn’t say we’ve exactly broken up.”

Hearing this, Finnian’s lips pressed into a thin, hard line; he looked visibly displeased.

Finnian’s expression turned grim. He said to Amara, “I’ll be back in a moment,” and left her room.

Since Liliana—like Emma—had been blacklisted by Mr. Kevin Everly, she wasn’t allowed inside the main house and had to wait outside.

It was the middle of winter, and Liliana was wearing just a thin jacket. Her face and hands were red from the cold as she shivered on the front steps.

When Finnian opened the door, Liliana immediately stopped fidgeting and straightened up. “Finn, you’re here.” She watched his expression carefully.

Finnian’s face revealed nothing—calm and unreadable as ever. He was always good at hiding his emotions, so Liliana didn’t think too much of it. She bit her lip and said, “Did you see the news today? I can’t believe Ms. Sullivan has a child, and apparently, the child isn’t even Keith’s. That’s just…”

She trailed off, studying Finnian’s reaction once again.

Finnian’s expression didn’t change at all. He looked at her and said, “I saw it. Is that all you came here to say?”
