too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 293

Lila accepted the bag before nodding at Shannon.

"Thanks for your trouble. I'll pass the shirt to Mr. Morgan later."

She couldn't address Kieran as "Uncle Kieran" in front of the outsiders. They'd both be in hot soup if someone decided to make a molehill out of their relationship.

Shannon continued smiling faintly. "You've noticed which article of clothing it is, right?"

Her eyes were glued to Lila's face in an attempt to spot anything off in her expression, only to see Lila looking very nonchalantly. It was as though she had read a boring book that didn't interest her at all.

"Yeah. It's a shirt. So what?"

A half-smile appeared on Lila's face. It was laced with slight displeasure and impatience too.

"Don't tell me you're going to ask me a cheesy question about how guys dirty their clothes under what type of circumstances like a brainless soap opera or an urban romance novel!"

Shannon was easily affected by Lila's sudden and random response. She had completely forgotten about what she wanted to say to her.

Lila felt even more bored when Shannon fell silent. She was about to close the door when Shannon stopped her.

A cold smile was perched on Shannon's face. "Since you knew the truth, why are you still clinging to Kieran? Is it because of your circumstances?"

At first, Shannon couldn't be bothered to treat Lila seriously. After all, Lila was just a naïve young woman without any work experience who had only graduated from university less than two years ago.

To Shannon, dealing with Lila was like stealing candy from a baby.

However, she didn't expect Lila to not be affected by her verbal attacks at all. It was as though Lila was a fearless woman without any weaknesses.

Shannon frowned instantly. "The only reason why you're here right now is all thanks to Mrs. Morgan Senior's affection toward you. But how many more years of protection do you think she can provide you with?"

Lila's poker face finally cracked slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure.

She wanted Amelie to live a long and healthy life, after all.

The sight of Lila's displeasure pleased Shannon to no end. She thought she hit the bullseye on Lila's worries, so she continued, "Men like Kieran will never fall in love with you."

Lila's gaze went cold. She merely sneered at Shannon.
