Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 199

"But I..."

"And, don't worry, I can manage the bathroom on my own. Nothing awkward will happen, I promise."

Finnian gave her a pointed look and added. Hearing this, Amara found it hard to refuse.

She nodded. "Alright then."

She knew Finnian's words were pretty much meaningless. If she truly wanted to leave, she had a thousand legitimate reasons to do so.

But she was too afraid of anything going wrong with the divorce, so she decided to go along with Finnian as much as possible before it was finalized.

After all, there were clean linens here. She could endure it for a while, so she agreed to stay. Once they'd settled that, Amara sat nearby reading a book, while Finnian worked on his tablet. They both kept to themselves, so quiet the room seemed to echo with silence.

After about an hour of this, Amara realized that being a caregiver was rather boring. She wasn't needed for much at all here. Was Finnian insisting she stay just to waste her time and mess with her?

Never mind, she thought. Best not to overthink it. Amara put down her book. Seeing the clock hands point to ten, she said, "It's late, let's get some rest."

"Alright."

Finnian had just finished his work, set down his tablet, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Once they both washed up, Amara turned off the lights and lay down, feeling increasingly uneasy.

She had a nagging suspicion that Finnian was latching onto her.

Could it be that Finnian was pretending to be nice, but secretly planning some sort of revenge? But if that were true, his method of revenge was pretty childish.
