too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 355

Lila stood frozen in place. The girl ahead also wore a beige overcoat with a checkered scarf around her neck.

Lila only saw the girl's back, but the aura she exuded was already extraordinary.

Although Lila couldn't see her face, she was sure this was the girl in the white dress that Kieran had met alone the other day.

Kieran walked toward the living room. When he saw Lila, his gaze brightened for a moment.

Her long hair was partially tied up, with the rest falling over her left shoulder. She wore a pearl hairpin and a traditional tassel hair clip, giving her the appearance of a noble heiress from a prestigious family in the 80s.

His admiration toward Lila was evident in his gaze. Even though he saw her every day, he was still amazed and moved by her beauty.

"Let's have breakfast first, then we'll head to the city hall."

His deep voice reached her ears, and Lila lowered her eyes, softly agreeing.

Kieran's lashes fluttered after noticing her slightly downcast mood.

He realized he had been too impatient.

Usually, the two of them didn't talk much during meals.

Lila ate with her eyes lowered, which wasn't unusual. At least, that's how she felt.

But Kieran, sitting across from her, couldn't stop overthinking.

After all these years, Kieran knew Lila too well.

He could tell whether her mood was good or bad even when she merely lowered her eyes absentmindedly.

Yet, he didn't dare to ask. If it was because of the wedding, he was selfish, unwilling to let go at this final moment.

The two of them ate breakfast in silence.

Lila went upstairs to apply lipstick while Kieran stayed downstairs to clean up the dishes.

When she came down, Kieran was already waiting in the living room.

Her naturally flushed lips now looked even more glossy, making them appear incredibly tempting.

Kieran dare not focus on those soft lips for too long.

When she came downstairs, he noticed she had changed into another coat but didn't give it much thought.

He reached out and helped her put on her coat.

Lila pursed her lips and silently extended her arms.
