Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 926

926 /950

Wiping the corners of her eyes, she forced down her sour emotions and said, "Mr. Everly, you definitely have feelings for Liliana. Maybe it's not obvious, maybe it's mixed with gratitude and you can't even tell the difference yourself, but you do care for her. Stop making excuses."

"Besides, even if you didn't love Liliana, so what? Even if you loved me completely, so what?" Amara continued. "Just because you love me, does that mean I have to be with you?"

"By that logic, if someone else loves me, do I have to be with them too?"

"Mr. Everly, the world doesn't work that way. Please leave."

She delivered those words with unshakable resolve, and in doing so, her mind cleared significantly.

Without sparing him another glance, she turned and walked away.

Finnian stared blankly at her retreating figure. He didn't chase after her immediately; something just felt incredibly off.

Why was she so certain he loved Liliana?

Amara was a highly rational and intelligent woman.

If this were the past, her misunderstanding him would make sense.

But just a few days ago, he had published a post on Twitter explicitly stating that Liliana had saved his life, and that his kindness toward her was purely out of gratitude.

Furthermore, when he almost married Liliana, he canceled the wedding the moment he discovered the truth about what happened four months ago, averting a massive mistake.

Given all these events, why was she still so convinced of his feelings for Liliana?

Just a short while ago, she had been relatively cordial toward him. But one day, her attitude shifted drastically—she became freezing cold and violently rejected his touch.
