too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 341

Lila stopped in her tracks. It didn't feel right to keep spying on them like this. Besides, she had no place trying to uncover the truth. She then casually walked ahead with her stuff.

Suddenly, she was startled as someone approached from the side. She stepped back, pressing her temple to calm her nerves.

"Mr. Mason," Lila spoke first.

Cole clearly hadn't expected to run into her here. He saw her struggling with the load and quickly moved to take them.

"Ms. Hart, what brings you here?"

"I noticed we were low on snacks at home, so I thought I'd grab a few," Lila said, not offering him the bags. "They're not heavy."

"I'll take them for you."

Cole insisted on carrying the items. When he noticed what was in the transparent bag, he smiled.

"Looks like you've got that drink Mr. Morgan likes."

Lila casually followed up on his comment and asked, "How did you end up here? Where's Uncle Kieran?"

She noticed Cole hesitate for a moment before smiling.

"Mr. Morgan was about to head home, but a client requested a meeting here, so we stopped by briefly."

Lila nodded, her gaze drifting toward the coffee shop, but she found that Cole had completely blocked her view. She smiled and stopped by the car. "Thank you."

"This car?" Cole looked a bit confused.

Wasn't Lila only supposed to have the car Kieran gave her? Where did this one come from? Could it be that some man was trying to get close to her?

Cole's mind raced. This was major news, and he needed to clarify things quickly to report to Kieran.

"It's Amelia's car. I'm just borrowing it for a bit," Lila explained as she slid into the driver's seat. "That's all. I'm leaving now."
