Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 276

Seeing the two of them eagerly heading upstairs, Dorian stepped in front of them, his voice firm, "No way!"

He grabbed Elysia's arm, "You're coming home with me!"

Elysia looked at him, clearly annoyed, "Let go of me. I'm just staying over at Ely's for one night. It's not like I'm not coming back. I'll be home by tomorrow."

"That's not happening," Dorian stated without a hint of compromise. "You've only been married for a bit, and now you're staying out? Let's deal with this later."

Elysia stared at him incredulously, "Are you from the medieval times or something? Just because I'm married doesn't mean I can't sleep over somewhere else."

Dorian was momentarily speechless, his face still showing his displeasure.

Just as he was about to continue, his phone rang. He answered it, "Hello?"

"Dorian! Where are you right now? I need your help with something. Can you come over?"

Jessica's urgent voice came through the line. The hallway was quiet, so everyone around, including Elysia and Amara, could hear it.

Elysia's lips curled into a sardonic smile. She tugged on Amara's arm, "Forget it. Let's just head upstairs."

Amara shot Dorian a disapproving look, noting how he was now fully engrossed in his phone call, seemingly indifferent to the scene he just caused.

She felt a surge of anger and, holding onto Elysia, turned away without another word.

Behind them, Dorian continued his conversation, not bothering to follow.

Back in the bedroom, Elysia let out a cold laugh, "See? He might seem like he cares a bit more these days, but his top priority is still over there. That’s just how he is."

Amara was also upset, but since Elysia chose to ignore it, she decided to let it go too. "Then let's not pay him any mind. Let them handle their own mess."

"Exactly, let them deal with it themselves!"

In that moment, she felt an intense urge to block him entirely.

Letting go of someone is never as easy as it sounds. She had been putting on a brave face for everyone, but inside, she was far from okay.

Elysia looked out the window, a hint of sadness creeping into her eyes.

"Ah—help—!"

A sudden scream shattered the silence, making Elysia jump to her feet and look towards the source.

The bathroom!
