Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 299

Finnian must have fallen for Amara after seeing her face, right? Otherwise, Dorian just couldn't figure out why Finnian liked her.

"Nope," Finnian said, shaking his head.

Dorian was taken aback.

Finnian wasn't one to lie, especially about something so trivial. Dorian blurted out, "You mean to tell me you liked her before you even saw her face? How does that even happen?"

Finnian shot him a chilly glance, and Dorian promptly clammed up.

Great, now he was being protective. Dorian couldn't even talk about it anymore.

"So, how do you feel now that you've seen Amara's face?"

Dorian lounged on the couch, pouring himself a cup of coffee while he asked.

Finnian leaned against the doorframe, his handsome face unreadable, and said something that left Dorian completely gobsmacked: "Ever since I saw her face in the daylight, my heart's been racing like crazy. It still hasn't calmed down."

Dorian spit out his coffee.

"You're a grown man pushing thirty. Could you not say stuff like that? It's making me queasy."

Finnian just gave him another look and turned away, ending the conversation.

Recalling recent events and the evening when he saw Amara's face, Dorian chuckled at the absurdity of it all.
