too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 279

Michael was helpless and shook his head in exasperation. "Grandpa, stop trying to set me up. I'm a celebrity. If I start dating, I won't be able to make money."

Albert snorted. "As if we need your money."

"But I'm a three-time Best Actor Award winner. My pay isn't little! Don't I earn more than my sister?"

Michael was genuinely puzzled. He didn't understand why Shannon had given up on working in the family business to work as a small employee at Morgan Group.

Was it all for that indifferent Kieran?

He didn't realize that he was essentially working for Morgan Group in the entertainment industry.

This thought worried Albert even more. His two grandchildren were abandoning the family business and working for Morgan Group.

He couldn't understand it, accept it, or respect it!

Amelie smiled and remarked, "Albert, you're a step too late. She's already engaged to Kieran. We're currently consulting an expert to find a good date for the wedding."

"What?" Albert feigned surprise.

Lila? Married to Kieran? How could that be?

What about Shannon? What would happen to her if Kieran married someone else?

"Amelie, are you joking? Isn't she your granddaughter? And Kieran is your son. This isn't just a generational mismatch. It doesn't seem appropriate." Albert was visibly confused.

She rebutted without hesitation, "What's so inappropriate about that? They're both my family, and there's nothing wrong as long as it's legally allowed."

Albert was left speechless by that.

"Grandpa, what are you all talking about?" a voice interrupted, and Albert looked up to see Shannon walking in.

Kieran followed her, and was coming down the stairs two steps behind.

He casually took a cup of hot water and handed it to Lila. "Why didn't you let me know you were coming back?"

His actions were natural and refined, and his casual tone made their dynamic seem peaceful and harmonious.

This would further cement Shannon's relationship with Kieran, making it a win-win situation.

Michael suddenly turned to look at his grandfather.

"What is this supposed to mean?"

Shannon's happiness was important, while his fate was left to chance?

Amelie narrowed her eyes. Kieran spoke first before she could speak. "Uncle Albert, what about the opinions of outsiders?"

He asked casually as if he was genuinely curious.

Albert's heart skipped a beat.

Kieran and Shannon were close in age, and the two families had a long-standing friendship. In a way, Kieran had grown up under his watch.

It was precisely because Albert knew him well that he understood the hidden meaning behind Kieran's seemingly casual question.
