"There were times when someone bullied you, and when I stood up for you, you'd say it was only right because
we're married-we're a team."
Those words felt oddly intimate, and Amara quickly pushed away the jumble of thoughts from her mind, recalling
past incidents.
Yeah, she did say that, and she believed she was right.
"When someone criticizedright in front of you, it was like a slap in your face too. So, | wasn't wrong," she
stated earnestly.
Amara's serious tone, as if she was analyzing something of great importance, made Finnian find her
unexpectedly endearing.
"Right, right, absolutely. | never said you were wrong," he replied with a soft smile.
Their conversation was light, and the atmosphere shifted slightly. Amara noticed Finnian's lips curve into a smile,

He rarely smiled, and when he did, he looked so handsome. Oh, whatever, she thought. Best not to dwell on it.
He wasn't hers anymore; to be precise, he never was.
Amara shook off the unwelcthoughts and glanced at Finnian again.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked, having been watching her intently.
Amara shook her head. "Nothing much. Mr. Everly, are you getting discharged the day after tomorrow?"
Upon hearing it, Finnian fell silent for a few moments before replying, "Yes."
Amara nodded.
"Mr. Everly, can we proceed with the divorce as soon as you're out of the hospital?" she asked with a hint of
uncertainty.
Without any conflict, Amara felt she was at a disadvantage in front of Finnian, a result of their contrasting
personalities and unequal social status.
Finnian stood up. His right arm was now functional, though still in a sling and somewhat inconvenient. He
approached Amara. "Do you really want to divorce that badly?"
She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but his low voice carried an unidentifiable hint of intimacy.
Amara looked out the window. "Yes, | want that. Too much has happened recently."
She wasn't one to dwell on the past, but she had endured too much lately- constantly being wronged, insulted,
hurt. She was human too, and thinking about it all made her sad.
Finnian had witnessed her struggles firsthand. Hearing her words, he fell silent. Yes, it was tto let her go
After all this tof entanglement, it was tto put an end. He stared out the window, his gaze darkening
gradually.
Liliana left the Everly family's last relative's house, biting her lip hard. Once her anger subsided, she got into the
car.
"All cleared up?" Ethan, in the driver's seat, inquired. "Can we head hnow?"
"Yeah, let's go home."
Sitting in the back seat, Liliana

leaned her head on her hand, recalling the humiliating ordeal of repeatedly explaining to the Everly family
members that Amara hadn't cheated and asking them too apologize to Amara. Her eyes grew fierce.
Amara, a woman she never considered a rival at first, had
caused her so much trouble. And it wasn't just trouble; the thought of being bothered by a disfigured woman
made her feel stifled incredibly stifled.
