Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 568

If Finnian had just given her money or gifts, Amara wouldn't have thought much of it. After all, material things meant little to someone of his stature.

But he was spending his time and putting in so much thought for her. That was different. What was he trying to do?

Just then, Finnian suddenly asked, "Has Keith ever cooked for you?"

An immediate silence fell over the table.

Elysia and Dorian exchanged a look, then both turned to Amara with keen interest, waiting for her answer.

Amara stiffened. She answered honestly, "No."

She knew that saying "yes" would have been the best answer in this situation, but Keith had never cooked for her. If she lied now, what if she was found out later? So she told the truth.

She expected Finnian to use this to mock Keith, but instead, he said, "If you ever crave these dishes in the future, just come to me. I'll make them for you."

Even though Elysia and Dorian were used to Finnian's devotion to Amara, hearing such a lovelorn statement still left them speechless. It was almost like Finnian was volunteering to be the other man.

Dorian patted his friend's shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.

Finnian ignored him, his eyes still fixed on Amara.

Why wasn't she saying anything?

Did his words not move her at all?

Amara nearly buried her face in her bowl. She was sitting directly across from Finnian and could feel his searing gaze on her the entire time. After what he'd just said, she was even more flustered and didn't know how to speak to him.

Seeing Amara so flustered, Elysia took pity on her and changed the subject. Finnian didn't press Amara either and went back to eating.
