Chapter 528
She was right. She had told Lisa she was bringing Keith home, and Lisa had unintentionally let it slip to Finnian, so he had come.
As for Larry, being a man himself, how could he not see the meaning behind Finnian’s frequent visits, always timed for when Amara was present?
However, in his eyes, having such an outstanding man pursuing his daughter was not a bad thing. Besides, Finnian did have a business partnership with the Sullivan Group, so he hadn’t refused him entry.
“Alright, let’s go eat p>
Larry noticed that after Finnian’s arrival, Amara was pursing her lips, seeming a bit tense, while Keith’s expression had darkened slightly, and Finnian was glaring at Keith with open hostility. The atmosphere among the three was tense and hostile. Larry glanced at them and spoke in a deep voice.
They all went to the dining room. Amara thought for a moment. She couldn’t sit in her usual spot to Larry’s right. If she did, Keith would surely sit next to her, leaving Finnian to sit next to Keith.
So she said, “Mr. Everly, since you’re here to discuss business with my father, why don’t you sit next to him? It will be more convenient for you to talk p>
Finnian nodded. Amara’s suggestion suited him perfectly.
He knew there was no way Amara would let him sit next to her this time, which meant he would have to sit next to Keith, with Keith separating him from Amara. He couldn’t stand that.
This way, Amara would be sitting between him and Keith. While still infuriating, at least there was no one else between him and Amara.
Once they were seated, the housekeepers began to serve the food.
Amara, Finnian, and Keith sat in a line, with Amara sandwiched between the two men. The atmosphere among them was strangely tense.
Amara maintained a smile, but she was actually sitting on pins and needles.
“Ama, eat more. You should put on some weight, you’re too thin now p>
Keith started putting food on Amara’s plate. When the crab and shrimp were served, he would personally peel the shrimp and crack the crab for her, taking meticulous care of her.
Finnian had seen Keith take care of Amara like this before, but they weren’t together then. Though it had been painful to watch, it was nothing compared to the agony he felt today.
Finnian barely touched his utensils, his gaze constantly shifting between Amara and Keith.
He watched Amara laughing and talking cheerfully with Keith, watched her obediently eat all the food Keith put on her plate, and bis heart felt like it was bleeding drop by drop. The pain was excruciating.
Elowen had been watching Finnian the whole time. Seeing his eyes never leaye Amara’s face, and the flash of pain in his eyes every time Amara spoke with Keith, it was clear how much he cared for Her She was absolutely furious.
What was so great about that woman, Amara? So she had a decent face. Was that enough to make all these outstanding men fawn over her? She was dying of jealousy.
“Mr. Everly, have some shrimp. It’s delicious p>
Elowen finally couldn’t take it anymore. She peeled a shrimp and placed it on Finnian’s plate, her tone a little fawning.
Finnian’s face instantly darkened.
He glanced over at Larry, his displeasure obvious.
Larry Sullivan slammed his utensils down on the table with a crack and roared,
“What do you think you’re doing? Take that shrimp away, now p>
Larry was truly angry. His face was naturally stern, and his anger made him even more intimidating.
Elowen was on the verge of tears. Her father had clearly doted on her before and rarely spoke to her harshly. Today, she had only offered Finnian a shrimp. Why was he reacting like this? She had offered food to Finnian before.
