Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 395

He’d just made that phone call in the kitchen, where it was so quiet that Amara had to have overheard Finnian’s words. What must she be thinking now?

Sure enough, Amara had heard everything. She never would have guessed that Finnian and Emma had rushed out of the Everly estate only to have dinner with the Porters.

For both families’ parents to share a meal—it could only mean they were discussing marriage.

Of course, Finnian’s status meant that such a decision wouldn’t be made hastily, but the fact that they were even sitting down together was a clear sign of where things were heading.

A sharp, stabbing pain flickered through Amara’s chest, but her expression didn’t change. The only hint was the faintest trace of a mocking smile at the corner of her lips.

She turned back to the counter and resumed preparing dinner. She was only halfway through the meal, and now she’d have to finish it alone and bring it up to Mr. Kevin Everly.

After all, the whole point of making this meal with Finnian had always been for Mr. Kevin Everly’s sake. Since Finnian was gone, Amara would simply fulfill her duty to him by herself.

Hogan, who had been watching from the doorway, was puzzled. Amara hadn’t reacted at all to the news that Finnian and the Porters were having dinner together. She’d given a small, sardonic smile and gone right back to cooking.

He approached her, curiosity getting the better of him. “Finnian’s out to dinner with the Porters. Doesn’t that bother you?”

“Why should it?” Amara replied, barely glancing at him.

“…”

Well, she’d never seemed to care much about Finnian. It made sense that she wouldn’t be upset over something like this.

Watching her work at the stove, Hogan remembered how she and Finnian had been cooking together just moments ago. He couldn’t help but ask, “What were you two making, anyway?”
