Finnian pulled his hand back, his morning voice husky and just a tad seductive. "Sorry about that, I have this habit of hugging something in my sleep. Guess I might''ve pulled you in."


    Amara let out a relieved sigh. As long as it wasn''t intentional, she thought, and headed off to freshen up.


    Halfway through brushing her teeth, a thought struck her. It wasn''t like she hadn''t shared a bed with Finnian before. They''d always woken up just fine, no awkwardness. When did he pick up this habit of hugging things in his sleep? Was it just her luck that he never hugged her before, or was he just pulling her leg? She pondered over it for a while, deciding it was best to avoid sharing a bed with Finnian from now on. With a sigh, she continued her morning routine.


    Mr. Kevin Everly had just been dropped off at home by Finnian when Lisa approached him, her voice lowered conspiratorially. "So, how did things gost night?"


    She was clearly asking about any progress between Amara and Finnian. Mr. Kevin Everly chuckled, covering his mouth. "That rascal snuck into Ama''s roomst night, thinking I was fast asleep. Truth is, I had a bit of insomnia and didn''t sleep a wink. He''s quite smitten with her, you know."


    Lisaughed along. "Don''t worry, sir. They''ll patch things up eventually."


    Liliana was having a rough few days, constantly needing updates on Hogan''s health. Her frequent inquiries made people wonder if she was setting her sights on Hogan instead.


    One day, while she was in the lounge applying makeup, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," she called out, turning to see Emma walking in. She quickly dismissed the makeup artist and greeted Emma with a smile.<fn7826> For original chapters go to find[?]ovel</fn7826>


    "Mrs. Emma Everly, you should have called! I would havee out to meet you." "Oh, nonsense. I can walk just fine on my own," Emma replied with augh. "You work hard enough as it is. You should rest whenever you can."


    Emma took her hand and they sat on the couch, chatting about Liliana''s health and diet. Emma seemed genuinely concerned.


    Once everyone else had cleared the room, Liliana and Emma continued their conversation. Emma patted Liliana''s hand. "Seeing you makes me happy, especially knowing you''re carrying our family''s first grandchild. Make sure you take good care of yourself during this time s


    "Also, you should take the initiative with Finn!" Emma advised. "I talked to him after that day, and I just don''t get why he''s so against the idea of marriage and rtionships."


    "If he''s not going to make the first move, then you should. As long as one of you takes the lead, something''s bound to happen."


    Emma was eager for Liliana to


    marry Finnian. For one, she wanted Liliana in the family as soon as possible so she could be grandmother soon. Plus, shed heard about Finian''s fondness for Amara, and if Liliana joined the Everly family, it would put an end to that.  s


    Liliana was pleasantly surprised by Emma''s fondness for her. But she knew Emma''s n was wed. Finnjan wasn''t the kind of guy who''d fall for someone just because they were persistent. In fact, it might just push him away.  s


    But she couldn''t say that outright. So, she nodded with a smile. “I''ll do my best."
