Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 126

Ever since Finnian walked into the room, Elysia had been acting as cold as a winter morning.

When she heard his question, her eyes widened in utter disbelief. The whole situation just seemed utterly ridiculous!

She was about to retort, "You've already got Liliana, how can you even ask such a thing?" but she bit her tongue and held back.

Elysia had no idea why Finnian would ask something like that, and frankly, she didn't care to answer him properly.

Her expression turned icy once again as she said, "No comment," before turning on her heel and heading into the kitchen without so much as a backward glance.

As the kitchen door swung shut, Finnian's face fell.

Dorian, who had been quietly observing the exchange, walked over and murmured, "Finn, why'd you ask something like that? Has Amara been seeing someone else these past three years?"

His tone was tinged with surprise. With Amara's looks, he couldn't imagine her finding someone else easily. But he thought better of voicing that thought aloud.

Then again, he mused, despite the scar on her face, Amara could still look quite striking with a mask on. And her background, well, it was certainly more privileged than most.

Plus, her figure was something to behold. If she truly wanted to find someone, she probably could, he admitted, frowning at the thought.

"Nothing much, just a random question," Finnian said, not bothering to elaborate further. "I better head out."

After Finnian left, Dorian headed to the kitchen, watching Elysia's back as she busied herself at the stove. He frowned and said, "What was that attitude with Finn all about? Can't you just talk to him properly?"

Already annoyed, Elysia felt her temper flare up again at his words.
