too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 361

Lila's gaze lingered on Kieran's face.

He kept his attention on the road, sparing her only a fraction of it.

Her mood had been off today. Though she had appeared fine when chatting with Noah earlier, the smile in her eyes had been faint.

Noah, carefree as always, hadn't noticed a thing.

But Kieran knew her too well. He understood that, given Lila's nature, if she wanted to talk, she would do so on her own. If she didn't want to, asking would only pressure her.

He wasn't one to push her.

However, he hadn't expected the question she asked.

He frowned. "The police had concluded it was an accidental death."

Lila kept her gaze fixed on his face, studying every subtle shift in his expression but finding nothing unusual.

She unconsciously gripped the edge of her clothes.

Kieran wouldn't lie to her, so if that was the case, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

But if everything was fine, then what was the file about? Maybe it was something Kieran didn't know about either.

Lila took a deep breath to calm herself. She paused briefly before saying, "I guess it's just that I've been feeling uneasy lately."

She looked out the window and explained, "I saw my parents today, and it hit me that we've been apart for so long.

"A document with my dad's name fell out of the safe. It's probably related to Morgan Group's tech development.

"Recently, Shannon and Pierre have been telling me my parents' deaths weren't an accident, trying to mess with my emotions. I'm sorry, Uncle Kieran. Am I disturbing you?"

Lila fiddled with the diamond ring on her finger, glancing at him with a hint of guilt.

Regardless of the truth, even if her parents' car accident had been intentional, it could never be tied to Kieran.

Today was supposed to be happy—they had just gotten their marriage license.

After considering it, Lila's expression relaxed.
