Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 311

"Let's just leave it, Mr. Everly," Amara sighed.

Finnian took a long look at her gentle profile, his heart aching. He didn't want to push her, so he reluctantly turned away.

Over the past few days, Amara had been experiencing more frequent bouts of morning sickness. Every couple of days, she'd find herself rushing to the bathroom.
