Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 286

It didn't surprise Amara when Mr. Kevin Everly came over and said those things earlier in the day. What caught her off guard was Finnian showing up at her door that evening because of it.

"Did my granddad come by today?" Finnian asked, standing at the threshold without stepping inside. "What did he say to you?"

"Well."

Recalling Mr. Kevin Everly's words from earlier, Amara found herself at a loss for words.

Finnian quickly added, "Whatever he said, don't worry about it. I'll talk some sense into him when I get back."

Amara hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you, I appreciate it."

"It's no trouble; it's my responsibility," Finnian replied.

He gave her a lingering look before turning to leave. Despite his tall and sturdy frame, there was a certain loneliness about his silhouette. Amara, unsure of what prompted her, called out, "Wait a minute."

Finnian paused and glanced back, "What's up?"

Amara contemplated for a moment before asking, "Why are you interested in me?"

She simply couldn't wrap her head around it. Finnian had never seen her with her looks restored; the only image he had was of her scarred face, marked by those gruesome scars that even she found repulsive.

Why would someone as impressive as Finnian be drawn to her?

Finnian hadn't anticipated the question, a slight smile playing on his lips before he quickly straightened his expression. "Does there need to be a reason?" he replied.

That response left no room for further discussion. Continuing the conversation would only lead to an awkward tension. Amara chuckled softly, "Just curious, Mr. Everly. Take care."
