too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 335

Michael stared in disbelief at Kieran.

Kieran appeared entirely unaware of his shock. His head was lowered, and his attention was still absorbed in those mundane contracts.

Michael had assumed that keeping the Bolton Group out of the conflict was already the greatest concession Kieran could offer. "Mr. Morgan…"

"Is there something else?" Kieran raised his eyes, seemingly surprised that Michael was still standing there.

Michael shook his head and bowed deeply. "Thank you. I'll visit Lila another day."

Upstairs, the person fast asleep was unaware of what had just transpired downstairs.

The next morning, Lila woke up, and the ache at the back of her head confirmed that the previous day's events hadn't been a dream. Shannon, what a lunatic she was!

Lila slowly got out of bed, washed up, and headed downstairs. She only took a few steps when she heard Cole's voice from below.

"I've taken care of things with Terry. As for Bolton Group's manu acquisition, I've arranged for someone to handle the negotiations.

"Regarding Shannon, all the evidence has been submitted to the police. I've also retained a lawyer in case there's any follow-up issues."

Lila froze upon hearing the orderly report. So much had happened recently, and despite Kieran being busy with the company, he still found the time to help resolve her problems.

After Cole updated Kieran on the major issues, he added, "Mr. Morgan, did you finalize your marriage with Ms. Hart?"

He didn't know that the Morgan family had already settled on a date for the big day.

Cole wasn't concerned that Kieran might feel uneasy about this. After all, as president, Kieran handled everything with precision. Managing relationships was second nature to him.

But at this moment, Cole overlooked something crucial: emotions were not like business deals, where outcomes were certain, and survival strategies were clear-cut.

Love didn't work that way. Thus, he didn't notice the brief flicker of complexity in Kieran's eyes when he asked about the marriage. As for this marriage, Kieran's deepest wish seemed unlikely to be realized.
