He and Amara had so few shared memories, and their wedding ceremony was one of them. Was he going to lose that, too? From now on, Vera Lodge would no longer be a special ce for them...


    No, it would always be special to him. But for Amara, Vera Lodge would be a beautiful memory she shared with Keith, a memory that had nothing to do with him. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and frustration.


    "It''s a nice hotel, so we chose it," Amara said.


    She had originally wanted to book the Star Hotel, but when they went to scout it, they discovered Finnian and Liliana had booked it as well. Both she and Keith felt ufortable with that, so they decided to look elsewhere. Through a series of coincidences, they ended up choosing Vera Lodge.


    "But that''s the hotel where we got married," Finnian repeated, his displeasure obvious.


    Amara looked at him, confused.


    "So what if it''s where we got married? Does that mean no one can ever use it again?"


    Finnian hadn''t bought out the entire hotel, so what kind of possessive logic was that?


    "Ama is right. What does it matter if you two got married there? You can''t forbid her from ever going to that hotel again. You''re being unreasonable," Mr. Kevin Everly chimed in.


    Seeing Finnian unhappy made him happy.


    Even though Finnian was his favorite grandson, the thought of his impending marriage to Liliana still annoyed him, so he enjoyed finding ways to needle him.


    But he''de to terms with it over the past couple of days. It was probably for the best that Ama wasn''t with his grandson. Finnian''s messy involvement with Liliana was unfair to Ama. From now on, he could just live his life with that actress.


    Finnian fell silent, but his mood was clearly soured. After dinner, as they headed upstairs, he stopped her on the staircase.


    "Was it your idea to choose Vera Lodge, or his?" Finnian asked.


    The "he" was obviously Keith.


    "It was Keith''s idea," Amara replied.


    Finnian''s eyes grew sharp. "Why did he choose Vera Lodge? He knows that''s where our ceremony was held, right? Is he doing this on purpose?"


    Hearing Finnian''s barrage of questions, Amara started to get annoyed as well.


    She and Keith were getting married. They could choose any venue they wanted. What right did Mr. Everly have to interfere?


    Besides, she had no intention of inviting Finnian to her wedding. Why was he making such a fuss?


    "Yes, he did choose it on purpose," Amara said, deciding there was no need to spare his feelings.


    "Keith said that was treated very unfairly at Vera Lodge back then,


    and a lot of unpleasant things happened that day. He wants to help me create a new, better memory to rece the old one That''s why


    chose it."


    That was exactly what Keith had said.


    Even though it was a sham


    marriage, since they were already


    spending the money to n a


    wedding, why not make it beautiful?, They Could treat it like a grand role-ying event. In that sense, the wedding did have some meaning.


    Keith had pointed out that during her wedding to Finnian, she had been mocked by many and Finnian


    himself had not treated her well,


    leaving her feeling humiliated.


    He wanted to make up for that painful experience. So they decided to hold a perfect


    wedding at Vera Lodge, to overwrite the painful memories from before.


    Amara had initially thought of the wedding as just a formality, but after hearing


    Keith''s reasoning, she had started to look forward to it.


    Finnian, who was already upset about their choice of venue, felt an even deeper pang of sadness after hearing the reason behind it.
