Chapter 168
"You are as stubborn as a mule, is there really any point in dragging this out?"
Like everyone else, Dorian didn't think Finnian had any real interest in Amara. No, he figured Finnian was
tormenting Amara over being cheated on. But still, this was a classic case of cutting off his nose to spite his face,
totally unnecessary. Why couldn't Finnian see that?
Meanwhile, Amara was just about to hit the hay when her phone buzzed with a message from Elysia. "Ama, how
was the birthday bash today? Did Finnian lose his cool?"
Amara had almost managed to push the whole ordeal out of her mind, but Elysia's message brought it all rushing
back. She sighed, trying to compose a reply, when her phone rang. It was Elysia.
"Ama, I've been texting Keith but he's not replying. What's going on with you guys?"
Amara was puzzled. Why was Elysia messaging Keith first instead of her? They weren't exactly besties.
Shrugging off the thought, she replied, "Not great."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Huh? What's the deal?" Elysia pressed on.
Amara hesitated. Should she spill the beans about tonight's fiasco? If she did, Elysia would definitely be livid and
probably confront Finnian. No, she would definitely confront him. But if she kept quiet, it was only a matter of
tbefore Elysia found out sother way.
After a moment, Amara decided, "It's a bit complicated. Can | cover and tell you in person? Are you home?"
"Yeah, I'm home."
"Alright, I'll be there soon."
Amara got dressed and headed over to Elysia's place. Once inside, they settled on the couch, and Amara
grabbed Elysia's arm, saying, "Promiseyou won't lose your temper after | tell you this. You have to stay calm,
okay?"
After extracting a promise from Elysia that she wouldn't fly off the handle, Amara recounted the evening's
events.
Elysia listened, eyes widening and her body tensing up. She leapt to her feet. "That son of a gun, Finnian! I'm
gonna give him a piece of my mind!"
She was ready to storm out and declare war.
Amara quickly pulled her back. "You promised you wouldn't get mad! Sit down!"
"How can not be mad at that jerk!" Elysia fumed, launching into a tirade against Finnian before continuing,
"What on earth is that bastard thinking? He's gone too far this time."
"Exactly, | can't figure him out either. It's just bizarre."
Elysia finally calmed down, and they started dissecting Finnian's mindset together. Their conclusion was similar
to Amara's earlier thoughts: Finnian was upset about being cuckolded. Rich guys were at the same, and it
seemed Finnian was no exception. That was likely why he lashed out by kissing Amara.
This revelation made Amara sigh again. It was disheartening to realize that the man she'd admired for so long
was just as bad, if not worse, than the others.
Now that Elysia was completely calm, she began strategizing. "If you want a divorce, you have two
options. Either you appeal to his net
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsympathy by playing nice, or you hit him with something he can't ignore, forcing him to divorce.
You have to choose one or the other."
"Yeah, that's what | was thinking too," Amara nodded in agreement.
Seeing that it was getting late, Amara uttered, "We'll figure out the details later. | should head home. Got an
early call on set tomorrow."
