Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 518

Amara replied, “Whether someone is suitable or not is for the two people involved to decide. Your opinion, Mr. Everly, doesn't count.” With that, she turned and walked away.

Watching her retreating back, Finnian’s eyes began to redden.

Did she really want to be with Morgan? Was she going to move on with another man so quickly?

Finnian knew he was the one who had moved on faster. He had no right to judge Amara. But knowing that was one thing; feeling it was another. He couldn't stop the ache in his heart.

When Morgan got home, he handed his suit jacket to the waiting servant and glanced at his grandfather, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa. “I’m back,” he said.

Mr. Bishop Sr. put down his paper and took off his reading glasses. “How was that young lady, Amara? Are you satisfied?”

“I’m very satisfied. I want to pursue her.”

Morgan took off his tie, placed it on the table, and sat down next to his grandfather, his expression serious.

Mr. Bishop Sr. let out a surprised “Oh?” “So you’ve taken a liking to her. What do you like about her? Her looks?”

Over the years, Morgan had only dated two women, and both relationships were brief, ending in less than three months.

Each time, the woman had been the one to break up with him for the same reason: Morgan was too busy, too distant, and they couldn’t take it anymore.

So, in Mr. Bishop Sr.'s eyes, Morgan had never been particularly interested in romance; his passion was his career. But now, he seemed genuinely taken with Amara.

“Her looks are part of it, I admit,” Morgan said honestly.

Before hitting send, he recalled the dynamic between Amara and Finnian earlier that day. It was clear Finnian had feelings for Amara, but Amara did not reciprocate. He deleted the sentence.

Instead, he wrote: “To be honest, I quite like you. I’ve met many women over the years, and you’re the most captivating one. I don’t want to give up just like that.”

“I’m not saying this to pressure you. I’m just hoping you’ll give me a chance to pursue you. Is that okay?”

Amara was a bit surprised when she received the message.

Morgan actually liked her? What did he like about her? This pretty face?

She replied: “Mr. Bishop, you’re an exceptional person, and I’m flattered by your interest. But we really aren't suited to be a couple. I don’t want to waste your time. Let’s just be friends from now on.”
