Chapter 258
As Finnian stood there, his face a mask of calm while he spoke with the doctor, Liliana’s mind raced.
It seemed Finnian had some feelings for Amara. She didn’t know the specifics, but she had to accept this reality.
So, she needed to change her strategy.
After Finnian ended the call, she asked, “Finn, do you have any thoughts about Ms. Sullivan p>
Finnian’s expression remained cool as he replied, “That’s none of your business p>
Liliana bit her lip, her resentment towards Amara deepening.
She forced a smile and said, “I overreacted earlier. I didn’t mean to interfere p>
Finnian nodded, his tone still indifferent, “The doctor will be here soon. I’ll go meet him. You should rest p>
He went out to meet Liliana’s family doctor, who arrived shortly. Finnian then left the room, standing in the hallway, his mind drifting.
After a while, the doctor emerged. Finnian asked, “How is she p>
“Mr. Everly, there’s no need to worry. Ms. Porter is fine, just experiencing some contractions. I’ve prescribed some medication for her to take over the next few days p>
“Alright,” Finnian nodded, “I’ll see you out p>
After seeing the doctor out, he returned to Liliana’s room to confirm she was truly alright before heading back to his own.
It was nearly the middle of the night by then. As he stared at his phone, Amara’s contact page open, he toyed with the idea of calling her, curious about her evening. But he hesitated, worried she might already be asleep.
Ultimately, Finnian turned off his phone, took a quick shower, and lay in bed, staring at the dark ceiling, replaying the day’s events in his mind until he finally drifted off.
The next day, Elysia and Dorian’s wedding had finally arrived.
The Hawke family was the second most prominent in Wye, just behind the Everly family, and the Moon family had its own significant standing. This wedding was a powerful union, and the ceremony was predictably grand.
As the maid of honor and best man, Amara and Finnian arrived early to be by the bride and groom’s sides.
Since the bride and groom weren’t supposed to see each other before the ceremony, Amara and Finnian didn’t cross paths until it began. But as the ceremony started, Amara couldn’t help but notice Finnian.
Recalling the events of the previous night, she felt a wave of embarrassment and wished she could vanish. Thankfully, her face mask hid her expression from everyone else.
She quickly averted her gaze, pretending nothing was amiss, though she sensed Finnian stealing glances at her and wondered what was on his mind.
Amara tried to focus on blessing her friends, but remembering the drama between Elysia and Dorian, she found it hard to muster genuine well-wishes, leaving her feeling a bit helpless.
Soon, the ceremony reached the
bouquet toss. Elysia took the

microphone from the officiant and announced, “I’m not tossing my bouquet. I want to give it directly to my maid of honor, my dearest friend, Amara p>
This was a pre-planned moment, and amidst applause, Amara confidently stepped onto the stage. Dressed in her stunning wedding gown, Elysia handed the bouquet to her and said:
“Ama, whether you marry or stay single, may you always find happiness. Love yourself first and foremost, because you are the most important p>
