Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 221

"Hey, let's go check out that spot."

Keith caught up with Amara, pointing towards the nearby grove. Amara turned and swept a glance at him.

She wasn't surprised to see Keith tagging along. Nodding, she walked with him towards the trees.

They chatted about this and that as they strolled to the edge of a lake. Finally, Keith couldn't hold back any longer. He asked, "Did you mean it when you said you didn't want to get married anymore?"

"Yeah," Amara replied as she nodded, her expression serious. "I just don't see myself getting married again."

She genuinely meant it. With a child already, the idea of marriage didn't seem as important. Besides, despite not considering love a disappointment, after ending an eight-year-long crush, she was exhausted. She didn't want to risk falling into that emotional turmoil again.

Keith frowned and gently turned Amara towards him, inquiring, "Why don't you want to get married anymore? Just because of one jerk, you're giving up on all men? Why would you think it that way?"

His serious tone almost made Amara laugh. She smacked his hand away and rolled her eyes. "Who said I gave up on men? Don't jump to conclusions."

"Then why the aversion to marriage?" Keith pressed on stubbornly.

He had waited for what felt like forever for Amara to be single, and before he could even make a love confession, she declared herself done with marriage. It wasn't what he had hoped for.

Oblivious of Keith’s mind, Amara assumed he was just concerned and thought it was a pity that she might be giving up marriage entirely over one bad experience; that was why he had the remarks. She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I haven't told you this, but I'm pregnant."
