Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 429

“…”

Hadn’t they already put that idea to rest?

Amara shot him a look. “You’re a catch, still on the market. Why would you want a kid attached to your name right now? What would you do later on?”

“I don’t want to get married,” he said. “Look at the entertainment industry—is there any such thing as true love? For every ten couples that get married, you’re lucky if two of them don’t end up divorced. They almost all do.”

“The moment I stepped into this world, I knew a real marriage would be nearly impossible for me. Unless I married someone outside the industry.”

As he said the last part, Keith shot a meaningful glance at Amara, but she was absorbed in her phone and didn't notice.

After tapping out a reply, she looked up. “Then don’t date someone in the industry. There are plenty of people out there.”

“And you must meet lots of people from other fields. Besides, you don’t have to get married. If you don’t want to, just stay single.”

“Exactly, I *want* to stay single, but my family won’t accept that. So, what if we had a marriage of convenience? We could say the baby is mine. And you wouldn’t have to worry about Larry.”

“I was at your house all the time when we were kids; Larry doesn’t have a problem with me. And if he ever got any ideas about partnering with the West Group, that’s fine too.”

“Larry might be a bastard, but he’s a sharp businessman. If he brought a good project to the table, there’s no reason we couldn’t collaborate.”

Keith laid out his entire case, but Amara remained unmoved.
