too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 371

Kieran's soft laugh was charming, and his eyes were filled with amusement.

"It's going to get colder tonight, and it might snow. Would you like to have stew tomorrow if it's the first snow?"

His voice was deep, with a slight rise that gently stirred her emotions.

Lila wanted to punch herself. Why did she never think before speaking?

But when she heard the word "stew", she paused, and her thoughts suddenly drifted.

Having stew on the first snow was something she had done in her first year with the Morgan family.

That year, the first snow had come early and heavy. Within half a day, it had piled up to their ankles.

Noah had woken her up early.

"Hurry, let's build a snowman!"

Wearing the cute pink down jacket that Kieran had chosen for her, she stood in the snow, feeling a bit dazed.

Noah was as excited as a dog cooped up too long, running around the yard and rolling snowballs.

She touched the snow—it was so cold.

When she looked up again, Kieran had already come up to her.

"Put on your gloves, don't hurt your hands."

Lila looked up at him, her peripheral vision catching sight of the two enormous snowballs Noah had rolled, and he was preparing to start on the third.

She thought to herself, Kieran was steady and really handsome.

How could someone be so handsome?

That day, Noah ran around the yard while Kieran stayed with her to build one big snowman and one small snowman so they would have company.

After they were done playing, Noah suggested stew for dinner.

Kieran asked Lila for her opinion, and she said the first snow was perfect for stew.

Thinking of this, Lila suddenly froze.

It seemed that Kieran would take her for stew every year since then on the first snow.

A surge of indescribable emotion rose in her heart.

"If you don't want to…"

Kieran's words were only halfway out when Lila interrupted him. "Sure, the first snow is perfect for stew."

She lifted her gaze, meeting his eyes. This time, she saw the gentle emotion in his gaze.

…

Later that night, Lila couldn't sleep.

She belatedly realized how odd she had been lately.
