Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 644

He had found himself thinking of Mrs. Grace Everly often these past few days. Though she had been an uneducated and rather stubborn woman, she was always remarkably kind to him.

As a child, when Emma and Andrew paid him no mind, he would run off to his grandparents’ house. His grandmother would personally cook his favorite dishes and hold him in her arms, singing softly to him.

Back then, his grandfather was busy running the Everly Group and didn’t have as much time for him as his grandmother did. But whenever his grandfather was home, he always stayed by his side, sharing stories about the world beyond their home. Nearly all the warmth and affection he’d known growing up had come from his grandparents.

With his wedding to Liliana approaching, he had felt increasingly weighed down and wanted to visit his grandmother. He hadn’t expected his grandfather to be there as well.

Mr. Kevin Everly nodded. “When your parents neglected you, your grandmother and I were the ones who raised you. Especially your grandmother—she worried about you so much.”

He stood before Mrs. Grace Everly’s headstone, holding Amara’s hand in one of his and Finnian’s in the other. He gazed at the grave for a long, long time, his eyes rimmed with red, on the verge of tears.

Amara didn’t have a close bond with Mrs. Grace Everly, but the solemn mood affected her, and she couldn’t help but feel a little sorrowful.

They stood in silence for a while. Mr. Kevin Everly spoke a few words to his late wife, placed the flowers they had brought at the headstone, and then they left the cemetery.

Afterward, Mr. Kevin Everly seemed to be in better spirits. He squeezed their hands gently and said, “Let’s get something to eat. What would you two like?”

Finnian and Amara exchanged a quick glance before Amara looked away, lowering her head. “Anything is fine with me, Grandpa.”

She and Finnian had had a falling out a few days earlier. They had agreed not to see each other privately anymore, so under normal circumstances, having a meal together like this shouldn’t have happened.
