She stood up as well, looking directly at Finnian. “Do you need something, Mr. Everly? If not, please leave. My friend and I are trying to eat."


    Then she turned to Morgan, her gaze softening instantly, her tone apologetic. "Let''s ignore him and continue our meal."


    The stark difference in her treatment of him and Morgan was not lost on Finnian. His fists clenched, and a storm of rage brewed in his eyes.


    Amara and Morgan had just met today, hadn''t they? How could she be so protective of a man she''d just met? Had she really fallen for him?


    Amara had no idea what was going through Finnian''s head. Right now, she just felt terrible for Morgan.


    Morgan had been subjected to Finnian''s awful behavior for no reason, and it was all because of her.


    Even though Finnian was the one at fault, she still felt apologetic.


    Morgan, a perceptive man, could tell what Amara was thinking. He smiled at her, his voice gentle and magnanimous. "I''m fine. You don''t need to worry about me."


    As he spoke, he couldn''t help but nce at Finnian.


    He had only ever heard that Finnian and Amara had a marriage of convenience, with no emotional foundation, and that they had divorced soon after the Everly family matriarch passed away. He hadn''t realized there was more to the story.


    He was already interested in Amara, but now, hispetitive male instincts were piqued. He was more determined than ever to win her over.


    He ced a shrimp on Amara''s te and said, "You''re too thin. You need more protein."


    Finnian, still standing by the table, sneered, "Putting a shrimp on a girl''s te but not peeling it for her. You''re a real charmer."


    The remark made the atmosphere painfully awkward again. Even Morgan frowned.


    Amara was truly angry now. How could Finnian have be so ssless?


    She set down her utensils and said coldly, "Mr. Everly, there are many ways to woo someone. You don''t have to peel a shrimp and feed it to them to be doing it right in fact, that Can be a bit overbearing."


    "Of course, everyone has their own preferences. If that''s what you and Ms. Porter enjoy, then by all means, do it. Just don''te here and lecture others, alright?"


    Her words struck Finnian like a blow.


    Amara had never spoken to him with such sharp defiance. Yet today, for a man she had known for maybe thirty minutes, she was defending him so fiercely. Did she really have feelings for Morgan?


    If Finnian had been thinking clearly,


    he would have realized that regardless of Amara''s feelings for Morgan, she had to defend him in this station. Otherwise not on would her chances with Morgan be ruined, but she would also offend the Bishop family.


    But at that moment, Finnian was so blinded by jealousy that such logic was beyond him.


    "Finn, let''s go."


    Liliana couldn''t stand it anymore. Suppressing immense jealousy and a towering hatred for Amara, she walked over and took Finnian''s arm, urging him in a low voice.


    But Finnian didn''t budge.


    His mind was consumed with the thought of Amara on a blind date with another man. He had no capacity to listen to Liliana.


    Amara had had enough. She said icily, "Mr. Everly, your family and your fiancée''s family are waiting for you. Please leave."


    Right now, Amara''s words were the only thing that could get through to him. Since she wanted him to go so badly, he would go.


    He gave Amara onest, deep look before turning away.


    After Finnian left, Amara immediately said, "Mr. Bishop, I''m so sorry. I never expected something like that to happen."


    Morgan studied Amara for a


    moment, his chin resting on his hand. "It''s not your fault, you don''t have to apologize," he said,


    then


    asked Finnian''s attitude towards


    you isn''t as indifferent as the rumors


    suggest. Is he in love with you?"
