Chapter 533

Amara was already in a bad mood after her conversation with Finnian, and now

Elowen was walking right into her line of fire. Her first instinct was to argue back, but then she remembered not to fall into the trap of defending herself. Instead, she sneered, “What’s it to you? If you want to wrap two men around your finger, go find them yourself. Why are you bothering me p>

As expected, that retort angered Elowen far more than any self-defense would have.

She clenched her jaw, her eyes burning with jealousy.

“Do you think I’m like you, enjoying playing with people’s feelings? I’m nothing like you p>

“Is it that you don’t want to be, or that you can’t?” Amara shot back with a cold smile.

Seeing Elowen grow even angrier and about to retaliate, she stepped closer and said contemptuously, “Stop spouting nonsense at me. I’ve warned you many times, you won’t get anywhere with me. Now get lost p>

She deliberately lowered her voice as she spoke. When she saw the look of disbelief on Elowen’s face, she felt a sense of satisfaction and turned to leave.

Amara said goodbye to Larry and left the Sullivan residence with Keith.

In the car, Keith glanced at her stomach and asked, “When do you plan on announcing the pregnancy p>

Amara gently touched her slightly rounded belly.

Her bump was starting to show now, and she had to wear loose-fitting clothes to hide it.

She said, “Let’s wait until the shares are settled before we announce it. Larry is extremely traditional, and in his eyes, getting pregnant before marriage is disgraceful. If we announce it too early, he might back out. It’s better to wait until everything is finalized p>

Keith thought about it and agreed it was the logical thing to do, so he nodded.

Since they had already officially announced their engagement, Keith suggested Amara move in with him until her own house was renovated.

But Amara felt that since it was a fake marriage, they only needed to maintain the public appearance of a couple. Privately, they should continue as they were She insisted on staying at the Everly estate.

Though Keith was frustrated, he had to respect her decision and didn’t press the issue.

When Amara returned to the Everly estate, she found a man in a suit and glasses sitting on the sofa—it was Morgan, whom she had met a few days ago.

She paused for a moment, then walked over and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Bishop, you’re here p>

Why was he here? Was he looking for her?

Morgan stood up, his eyes sweeping over Amara’s exquisitely made-up face. He nodded. “I came to see you. Can we talk p>

Amara nodded and glanced around. The servants discreetly withdrew, leaving the two of them alone in the vast living room.

Amara felt a pang of guilt toward Morgan. She and Keith had

announced their engagement, and to outsiders, it would seem they had been dating for some time.

But just a few days ago, she had gone on a blind date with him. What must he be thinking? Did he feel like he had been deceived?

Amara poured Morgan a cup of hot tea and was about to apologize when he asked, “Are you really getting married p>

Amara poured herself a cup of tea

as well, took a small sip, and nodded. “Yes. Mr. Bishop, I’m very sorry for not telling you was in a relationship p>

Morgan rested his chin on his hand, thinking. He felt that Amara’s marriage announcement was too rushed; something seemed fishy about it.

“If you had already decided to get married, why did you go on a blind date?” he asked. “Keith is a great guy. Were you two having problems recently p>
