He arrived at Emma''s ce soon after. As soon as Finnian walked in, he spotted Emma on the sofa-and to his surprise, Liliana was there too.


    Although Emma and Liliana had once been close, after Liliana''s fake pregnancy was exposed, Finnian couldn''t help wondering: could Emma really still ept her?


    He quickly averted his eyes from Liliana, sat down on the sofa, and asked, "What did you want to talk to me about?"


    Emma had just gotten back from the Everly Estate, sipping water from a ss. At his question, she shot Liliana a look. Liliana caught the hint, quietly poured Finnian a ss of water, and set it by his hand. “Finn, you and Mrs. Everly should have a good talk," she said kindly, before slipping into the small bedroom and gently closing the door behind her.


    The living room fell silent. Emma ced her ss on the table and said,


    "I''ve figured everything out. Amara is indeed carrying your child-but so what? I absolutely will not allow her to join the Everly family. I won''t acknowledge the child she''s carrying, either. You need to find a way to get her to end the pregnancy, and then proceed with marrying Liliana."


    There was no room for argument in Emma''s voice. She fixed Finnian with a cold, unwavering stare.


    Finnian stood up. "It''s not going to happen. The child Amara is carrying will be born and grow up healthy. We may even have more children in the future. Amara will be my wife. There is no possibility between Liliana and me anymore. You don''t need to concern yourself with my marriage ever again.”


    His tone was calm but utterly resolute.


    He had already guessed what Emma would say; the only surprise was that she still wanted him to marry Liliana. But it made no difference he no longer cared what Emma thought.


    Emma, on the other hand, cared deeply about his intentions. Hearing Finnian dere that Amara would be his wife and that they might even have more children-Emma was furious.


    She mmed her hand on the table. “What are you thinking? I will never let you marry her! I forbid it!"


    "I''m telling you right now-you are not to see Amara again. You will marry Liliana. There''s nothing to discuss. Don''t forget what I told you before!"


    "If you refuse to give up Amara, I''ll find a way to get rid of her! Oh, and now she''s pregnant too isn''t she? Then it won''t just be one life you''re risking..."


    As Emma spoke, her face contorted, bing wild and frightening.


    Finnian showed no reaction


    whatsoever, as if none of her words had even reached him. He simply stood up and said. and said I only came


    today to say these the cam yet


    to you. Think it over." With that, he opened the door and walked out.


    "Where do you think you''re going? Come back here!"


    Emma was stunned-after everything she''d said, how could Finnian just leave without giving her any response?


    Unable to believe it, Emma chased after him in her slippers, only to find two unfamiliar bodyguards standing at the door, watching her closely.


    Emma stopped short, ring at them angrily. "Who are you? Who told you to be here?"


    Finnian was already at the stairwell. He turned back and said, "This is my gift to you, Mother."
