too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 48

Ethan checked the time. They had been waiting from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, and lunchtime was nearly over, yet no one had arrived.

"This information was obtained through connections. It shouldn't be fake. I also told them to inform us if there were any plan changes. Since we haven't heard anything, Mr. Lane must still be on his way," he explained.

Noticing Dorian's pale face, Ethan added, "He may have been held up by something. Please calm down. I'll check on the situation again."

Lunar Lounge was a well-known high-end restaurant in Northridge, renowned for its excellent environment and steep prices.

Despite this, there were never any empty tables, and to dine there, a reservation needed to be made at least three days in advance.

Dorian didn't lack money, but they got the information late. They couldn't even enter the restaurant and were forced to wait outside.

"Mr. Blake, isn't that Ms. Hart?" Ethan suddenly raised his voice.

Dorian looked up, his hands clenching tightly.

The girl Ethan was referring to was wearing a slightly fitted light purple dress that accentuated her slender waist and revealed her fair and smooth calves.

The hem of her dress flowed gracefully with her movements, as if every step she took was blossoming.

There was a purity mixed with allure. She was undeniably beautiful.

It was Lila.

Such a stunning sight caught the attention of many around them.

The man helping her out of the car was tall and elegant, dressed in a three-piece black suit. His every gesture exuded sophistication.

Although they couldn't see his face from behind, his silhouette and the aura of nobility surrounding him nearly caused Dorian to lose his composure.

Lila looked up at the man, saying something to him. Her smile was soft, and her eyes sparkled like stars.

A gentle breeze passed by, carrying the lively sounds of the crowd.

Kieran casually reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. His fingers brushed against her ear, making her feel a tickle. She shyly moved away, laughter shimmering in her eyes.

The two of them looked like a perfect match—handsome and beautiful.

Their intimate and natural interaction caused Dorian's eyes to redden with anger.

Lila actually dared to find another man!
