Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 562

Andrew's expression didn't flicker. He just chuckled. "You know I'm not the most serious fellow. I'm always out drinking and meeting people. I hear a lot of things, so it's not surprising I'd know your stepmother's name."

*So he has some self-awareness after all,* Amara thought, mentally rolling her eyes. "I see," she said. "Well, I'll be heading up. Goodbye, Mr. Everly."

Andrew watched her go, his eyes narrowing slightly. He quickly caught his son's hostile glare, shot him a grin, and turned to find Mr. Kevin Everly.

The next day at noon, Keith asked her out to lunch again. Amara got ready and met him at a restaurant on Galleria Lane.

Dressed in casual clothes and looking positively jubilant, he immediately waved a crimson booklet at her. "I got the family papers! We can go get our marriage license."

Amara was stunned. She took the booklet and flipped through a few pages. It was indeed the West family's official document.

"Did you steal this?" she asked.

"Of course not. They gave it to me willingly," Keith said proudly. "Let's go get our license on Sunday. I checked the calendar—it's an auspicious day for a wedding."

Edith and Nathan had given it to him willingly? Amara found that hard to believe.

"Your parents were so firmly against our marriage the other day. Why would they suddenly change their minds?"

Keith put the document away and said casually, "They were stubborn at first, but I threatened to never get married. I told them if they didn't let me marry you, I'd stay a bachelor forever. That scared them, so they agreed."

Amara thought that tactic might work on other parents, but Nathan and Edith were not easily intimidated. Could they really be swayed by a single threat?

"Are you telling the truth?"
