too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 237

Lila looked at the three pairs of eyes before her, each filled with curiosity and an almost insatiable thirst for answers.

She rolled her eyes. "I know Noah, then I met... Mr. Kieran. What's so strange about that?"

Amelia shook her head. Her blond hair gleamed under the light, appearing even more lustrous.

Despite her mature looks, she spoke like a kid. "That's not it. You're acting strange. And there are rumors that the Morgan family adopted you. Is that true?"

Teddy was surprised. "I didn't hear that news."

"You're just too slow," Jamie chimed in.

Lila walked over, giving each of them a light tap on the forehead. She was unfazed. She was still Lila, whether as Morgan family's adopted daughter or an orphan. These people were her friends, which had nothing to do with her identity.

She took out three invitation cards from her bag and handed one to each of them. "This saves me a trip."

"What's this?" Teddy asked as he opened the card, then suddenly gasped in surprise. The two next to him immediately clutched their chests, barely holding it together.

"Sorry, sorry," he quickly apologized. "I didn't mean to. It's just... this, this is Lila's birthday banquet, and the Morgan family is hosting it.

"I can't believe I actually got an invitation from the Morgan family! I'll be bragging about this for half a year!"

Jamie knocked him on the head. "Get a grip. Focus on your acting first."

She then glanced at Lila, her lips moving slightly, but ultimately, she didn't say anything. The three didn't have much to do in the morning, and only Lila had a few documents to handle. So they sat nearby, playing around, waiting for her to finish so they could go out for lunch together.

While Amelia and Teddy stepped out, Jamie hesitated before sitting across from Lila.

The weather was beautiful today. The sunlight streaming through the windows cast a gentle glow on the floor, making the whole room feel brighter.
