too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 257

Kieran looked down at Lila, his gaze deep like an endless void, hiding emotions that were impossible to read.

Lila didn't know who the girl in Kieran's heart was and didn't have the right to ask.

But whoever she was, she shouldn't delay things between them.

Lila knew the best she could do was minimize the impact on Kieran.

Even if they got married, she would try to arrange as much work for herself over the next year as possible to limit their time living together.

That way, explaining things to the other girl wouldn't be so difficult.

Their marriage would be nothing but a formality.

Kieran gently ruffled her soft hair.

Lila was sitting with her forehead resting against his body. It felt strange. Just a moment ago, she had felt like driftwood lost at sea.

Yet, with Kieran's comforting touch, she felt like she had found her place.

She only realized the change in her emotions afterward, catching her off guard.

It wasn't good to develop any sense of dependence.

Quickly sitting up straight, Lila tried to speak casually. "Uncle Kieran, do you have any other better solutions?"

With his intelligence, he would definitely have a solution.

Kieran met her eyes, and his fingers twitched.

He thought that he was heartless.

In that instant, he felt a pang of guilt for deceiving her.

He wanted to confess that he had loved her for a long time and had planned this marriage opportunity.

He had sworn in the Morgan family's ancestral hall that he would never let her down.

"Uncle Kieran?"

Noticing his brief distraction, Lila called out to him.

Kieran snapped back to reality, offering her a faint smile. His demeanor remained composed as ever.
