Chapter 572
Nora nodded immediately and went over to sort through the dozens of pairs of earrings Liliana had laid out on the table. But her mind was still fixated on Amara and Keith’s argument.
Just then, the door opened and Finnian walked in. Seeing only Nora in the room, he asked, “Where’s Liliana p>
“She went to the restroom p>
Nora straightened up at once and answered respectfully.
She wondered inwardly when Mr. Everly had started calling Liliana by her full name.
It had to mean he was displeased with her, but they were about to get married,
weren’t they?
Finnian nodded and sat down on the sofa without saying a word.
He had come to pick Liliana up after she called him. Since she wasn’t here, he would just wait.
As Finnian sat there with a blank expression, Nora found herself studying him again.
Rumor had it that Finnian was in love with Amara, but for some reason, he had chosen to be with Liliana, while Amara was now with Keith. What a tangled mess it all was.
Nora held a secret she had never told anyone: she had always hoped Amara and Finnian would end up together.
The reason was simple—they were both stunningly beautiful people and looked like a perfect match. In her mind, she shipped them purely based on their looks.
And honestly, she thought Amara had a wonderful personality. As for Finnian, while his personality wasn’t exactly warm, it wasn’t bad either. A man being a bit cold wasn’t a flaw; it meant he was less likely to stray.
Liliana, on the other hand… since Nora spent every day with her, she had witnessed countless instances of her cruelty. Liliana wasn’t kind to her either. Though she was paid well, Liliana would often subtly insult her.
Liliana probably thought she was
too stupid to understand the insults, but Nora understood every single
One they hunt!
deeply and she
had cried in private more than once.
Therefore, she felt that a malicious woman like Liliana didn’t deserve Mr. Everly. Amara and Mr. Everly were the ones who were made for each other.
With Mr. Everly sitting right there, she couldn’t help but return to these thoughts.
Why wasn’t Mr. Everly with Amara? And why was Amara with Keith? And why were those two fighting just now?
As she pondered, she kept glancing at Mr. Everly.
He was so handsome. As an ordinary person, she would never dare to have any fantasies about him. She just felt that a man as gorgeous as Ms Everly should be with a woman as beautifu
Amara.
After a moment of contemplation, she was startled by Finnian’s cold voice. “Why do you keep looking at me p>
Nora jumped, fumbling with Liliana’s earrings as she prepared to explain herself.
Sensing the girl might have misunderstood his tone, Finnian added, “Is there something you want to tell me p>
Nora was a practical girl; she likely
didn’t have a crush on him, or at
least wouldn’t be so obvious about
it. Yet she kept looking his way, which meant she probably had. Something on her mind.
Seeing that Finnian had rephrased his question and hadn’t assumed she was interested in him, Nora relaxed.
A bold idea popped into her head. Why not tell Finnian what she had just heard?
After all, everyone in their circle knew he wasn’t particularly invested in Liliana, so what was the harm?
