too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 281

The minute Shannon finished speaking, everyone's gaze fell on her.

Nicole glanced at her, then at Kieran's cold eyes. She felt that Shannon was being too obvious with her intentions toward Lila.

Kieran's brows twitched as he looked at Shannon, his dark eyes betraying no emotion.

Even Amelie's smile dimmed slightly because of Shannon's words.

"If we're talking about reputation, this shop is indeed not as well-known as MunchMates, but when it comes to taste, this one is far superior in flavor," Amelie said.

She slowly opened the box and took a piece to eat.

After swallowing, she added, "It's delicious. Lila really understands me. She's far better than this little brat over here.

"Back in the day, I really wanted a daughter, and luckily, I ended up with you and Nicole."

Nicole laughed. "I'm nowhere near as considerate as Lila. She remembers all your preferences so clearly."

In their back-and-forth exchange, they forgot that Shannon was still in their midst. She clenched her hand under her sleeve, and her smile faded significantly.

Michael had always known about Shannon's feelings for Kieran.

It wasn't a big deal when they were single, so she could do whatever she wanted without anyone caring.

However, everyone now knew that Kieran was going to marry Lila.

Michael never expected that Shannon couldn't let go.

"I don't visit often with my sister, so I'm not yet familiar with Grandma Amelie's tastes. Now that I know and remember, I'll definitely bring you an extra box next time,' he said, helping Shannon out of the awkward situation.

Whether he meant it or not, his face showed no sign of discomfort.

After all, the two families did have a good relationship.

Nicole smiled and continued, "You two should also try some."

Finally, she turned to Kieran. "Kieran, could you go get a new quilt for Lila? I had the household staff wash the one she used before. I thought she would be coming over in a while, so I haven't put a new one on the bed yet."
