Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 713

Amara’s heart gave a heavy thump as she looked up at him.

Finnian was staring straight at Amara, his eyes bright and intense, his emotions clearly stirred.

“Amara,” he said, ignoring Keith standing by, gripping Amara’s wrist, “The baby—is it mine? We have a child together, don’t we?”

“…”

Amara was too shocked to speak.

Didn’t they already talk this through last night? Why was Finnian bringing it up again?

Wait, why was he even here?

It was already five thirty—the small private ceremony with Liliana should have been underway. Why wasn’t he at the reception? Why had he come to find her instead?

“Mr. Everly, what nonsense are you talking about? My child is not related to you in any way,” Amara said at once, pushing aside these questions to clarify things immediately.

But Finnian didn't believe her. He tightened his grip, pulled her abruptly to her feet, and led her out of the restaurant.

“Mr. Everly, what are you doing? Let go of me—I’m having dinner—Finnian, let go!” Amara finally called him by his first name, growing angry at his refusal to release her.

Once outside, Keith had already caught up and confronted Finnian with a frigid glare. “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t Amara already tell you the child isn’t yours?”

“And you’re supposed to be marrying Liliana right now—what are you even doing here? Why are you harassing Amara like this?”

Keith tried to put himself between them, but Finnian’s grip on Amara’s wrist was so firm there was no way to separate them. Keith’s expression grew colder still.
