Hearing Amara's words, both Dorian and Lucian fell silent.
But they continued to glare at each other with hostility, their auras clashing. Seeing this, Amara felt a headache coming on.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Amara went to open it and saw Finnian standing outside.
She was surprised. What was Finnian doing here?
Just then, she received a text from Nora: "Amara, I forgot to tell you something. I also called Mr. Everly. I thought he could come get Mr. Hawke. I was worried you wouldn't be able to get him to leave on your own."
As much as she didn't want to see Finnian, Amara knew Nora had made the right call.
Dorian didn't really listen to her, and without Finnian, he would likely refuse to leave.
She said in a low voice, "You're here. Please get Dorian out of here. Don't let him bother Elysia anymore."
She stepped aside to let Finnian in.
Finnian knew Dorian and Lucian had fought, but he hadn't expected to see Amara here too.
He looked Amara up and down, and only relaxed after confirming she was unharmed.
Still, he asked, "Are you okay? Did you get caught in their fight?"
Amara whispered, "No, I just got here. Please, just take Dorian away."
Finnian nodded.
Now that Elysia had gone through with the abortion, no amount of helpless rage could change that fact. So Dorian stopped dwelling on the child and focused on one thing: getting back together with Elysia and living a good life with her.
Then, he would help Elysia recover her health, and they could have another child in the future. If she didn't want to give birth again, they could adopt. He just didn't want to be separated from her like this.
The abortion had shown him just how determined Elysia was to leave him. He had been devastated for days, barely able to eat…
Elysia's brow furrowed. "Whether you change or not is up to you. It has nothing to do with me anymore. I'm not getting back together with you."
"But you should probably change anyway. It'll make it easier for you to find someone else in the future. Otherwise, even if you do, you'll just end up repeating the same mistakes."
She didn't want to deal with Dorian at all. The moment she saw him, she remembered the photo Jessica had sent her, and she felt sick to her stomach.
