Chapter 507

Finnian glanced at her. “You haven’t forgotten why Grandfather won’t let you in the house, have you?” he said flatly.

The implication was clear: until that matter was resolved, Mr. Kevin Everly would not welcome her back.

Emma was rendered speechless, her jaw tight with suppressed fury.

Then, remembering her reason for coming, she swallowed her anger. “I’ve set the date for your wedding. It’s the third of next month, fifteen days from now. Is that date acceptable to you p>

Finnian didn’t even look at the calendar in her hand. “You don’t need to ask me about these things. Just decide p>

His indifference toward the wedding was palpable, and it annoyed Emma.

“What kind of attitude is that? This is your own wedding. Could you please show a little interest p>

A cold smirk touched Finnian’s lips. He looked at her sideways but said nothing.

Emma was exasperated, but she knew Finnian had already conceded a great deal. There was nothing more she could do. She clenched her fists, forced down her anger, and left.

When Finnian returned to the house, he found Mr. Kevin Everly had come out and was standing on the second-floor landing, leaning on his cane and looking down at him with an air of authority.

Finnian stopped in his tracks and called out, “Grandfather p>

Since the engagement news broke, Mr. Kevin Everly had barely looked at him. This was the first time in days.

Mr. Kevin Everly glanced at him. “What did your mother want p>

Finnian didn’t lie. “She’s chosen a wedding date. The third of next month. She asked if it was okay p>

After he spoke, the atmosphere in the living room grew tense.

Everyone knew how displeased the old master was about the marriage. He and Finnian had been at odds for days over it. Surely, hearing this would make him angry.

But to everyone’s surprise, Mr. Kevin Everly’s expression remained unchanged. He looked down at Finnian from the landing and said, will always acknowledge you as grandson. You are my flesh and blood, and you are the grandchild I have always cherished most. That will never change p>

“But from this day on, I will no longer interfere in your life. Do as you stremember a

pleas

thing:

will not acknowledge Liliana, and I

will not be attending your wedding p>

“You are welcome to visit me whenever you wish, but do not bring Liliana with you. She will not be allowed to set foot in this house p>

“Make sure you remember that. Don’t you dare bring her here one day and then try to make a scene with me when I refuse her entry p>

“That is all I have to say. You can go about your business p>

With that, Mr. Kevin Everly turned and went back to his room with his cane. Amara, who had also been on the second floor and heard everything, turned to leave as well.

“Wait,” Finnian called out.

Amara turned back. “What is it p>

Finnian strode up the stairs and stood before her. “From now on, if you have the time, please come and see Grandfather often. Help me take care of him. I’m troubling you p>

Amara looked at him. “I will take good care of Mr. Kevin Everly,” she said. “Because

he is my grandfather, too p>

A bitter feeling washed over Finnian.

She was clearly drawing a line between them. But he had brought this all on himself. He had no one else to blame.
