Finnian held his gaze, his tone laced with deep respect. "Mr. Sullivan, please let me explain. A month before the divorce, I was drugged at a business dinner. Amara was the one who saved me."
"But she left before I regained consciousness. I had no idea it was her that night, and I had absolutely no idea she was pregnant."
Larry frowned sharply and looked at Amara, silently demanding verification.
Amara gave a curt nod, confirming Finnian wasn't lying. Larry turned his sharp gaze back to the younger man.
"After that, we proceeded with the divorce," Finnian continued. "Once the papers were signed, I finally realized the depth of my feelings for her and began pursuing her, but she constantly rejected me."
"Eventually, I discovered she was pregnant, but I didn't know the child was mine. I assumed... well, it doesn't matter. I just learned the truth recently."
"That is why I was so furious when I found out she sneaked out to abort the baby today. That is why I had to stop her."
Finnian laid out the chaotic timeline with total transparency. Larry's brow furrowed into a deep V. He sat in silence, processing the messy revelation, clearly still unappeased.
Finnian entirely understood his hostility.
If he had a daughter who was put through this kind of humiliating ordeal, he would be out for blood.
His tone grew even more sincere and deferential. "Mr. Sullivan, I am deeply in love with Amara, and I want nothing more than to remarry her."
"I've been trying to win her back for a while now. I want to make her my wife again, stand by her side through the pregnancy, and welcome our baby together."
"I want to build a complete, loving family with her. We can have a happy life together. Mr. Sullivan, I mean every word of this. I'm asking for your blessing and support."
Hearing this romantic speech, Amara felt her blood boil before Larry could even respond.
