Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 701

He rubbed his brow, feeling utterly drained.

Amara Sullivan had breakfast with Elysia Moon and Tina. After Elysia left, Amara received a call from Mr. Kevin Everly, who arranged to meet her at a tea house later that morning.

When Amara arrived, Mr. Kevin Everly was already waiting for her inside. He reached out and took her hand, saying quietly, “Ama, there were too many people and too much going on last night, so Grandpa didn't get a chance to talk to you privately. What exactly happened yesterday? And does Tina know about your pregnancy?”

Amara had brought Tina along; Tina sat quietly in a corner, her head bowed as she slowly sipped her tea. Mr. Kevin Everly spoke in a hushed tone to avoid letting Tina overhear their conversation.

Amara wasn't sure how to explain it to Mr. Kevin Everly, but she knew she couldn’t avoid answering altogether. She hesitated, then said, “Grandpa, Tina and I are close, so she knows a bit about my situation. But I can’t tell you more than that. Would it be alright if we just dropped the subject?”

She bit her lip, her expression a little aggrieved.

Mr. Kevin Everly had always suspected that Amara’s situation stemmed from someone mistreating her, which only made him more anxious when he saw her vulnerable expression. His heart tightened, and he quickly reassured her, “Ama, if you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to. Just remember: if anyone ever tries to hurt you, you can always come to me.”

He let out a long sigh, choosing not to press her any further, and simply patted the back of her hand in a comforting gesture.

Amara exhaled in relief. As long as Mr. Kevin Everly didn’t push her for more details, things would be alright.

She chatted with him a little while longer, then left the tea house.

Mr. Kevin Everly also got up to leave, taking Tina with him. After all, Tina worked for the Everly family and had to return to her job; she couldn’t afford to be away for too long.
