Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 12

Half an hour ago, Kevin called her again, insisting she must not divorce Finnian and that she should stay with him at the estate for the time being. This left Amara in a bind.

"Grandpa has withdrawn the divorce application and wants me to stay here, but..."

Amara hesitated. Finnian cast his eyes down and said, "Let's go inside first. I'll handle this."

"Alright."

The two of them walked in together. Just as they were about to enter, Finnian suddenly asked, "Do you have someone you have feelings for?"

Amara was taken aback, instinctively replying, "No, why?"

Why was Finnian asking this? Could he have figured out that she had feelings for him?

"It's nothing," Finnian responded in a calm voice. "If you did, you could have him pick you up."

Was he considering her feelings? Amara closed her eyes, cursing him inwardly for being foolish.

Upstairs, Finnian asked for Kevin's whereabouts and proceeded directly to the study, while Amara waited outside.

The door to the study was slightly ajar, allowing Amara to hear Finnian greet Kevin. His voice, cold and devoid of emotion, followed, "I want to divorce Amara. Please don't stand in the way."

"You anger me on purpose, don’t you?" Kevin sounded upset.

"You should preserve your marriage. Don't you understand that?"

"What’s there to preserve in a marriage without love?"

Finnian's voice was chilly and indifferent, tinged with a hint of disdain. Amara's gentle demeanor paled a bit.

Kevin was furious, scolding, "What kind of attitude is that? How can you treat marriage like a game?"

Finnian let out a dry laugh, his tone icy. "Have you forgotten how this marriage came to be?"

This statement silenced Kevin and made Amara clench her fists outside the door.
