too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 600

"It'll be too obvious if I ask Kieran what flowers he likes. Maybe I'll ask Mr. Mason first," Lila said, pulling out her phone to message Cole.

Amelia arched her brow, impressed.

Cole's reply came almost instantly. "It's probably sunflowers."

Seated beside Lila in the back seat, Amelia caught the message and chuckled. "I remember you like them too. It looks like you two have similar tastes."

Cole wasn't completely sure, but he remembered Kieran had brought sunflowers to the office once. It had caused quite a stir—gossip flew around that he might be seeing someone. But after a few days, nothing happened, and the office buzz died down.

Soren chuckled. "You and Mr. Morgan seem pretty close." His gaze flicked briefly to Jamie as he spoke, but she wasn't listening. Her gaze was lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, the car pulled up to the restaurant. The group stepped out, and Amelia, trailing behind with Lila, narrowed her eyes. "Okay, seriously, what's up with those two?"

"Doesn't it feel a bit off?"

Lila tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Yeah. It's weird, isn't it? Aren't they supposed to be childhood friends? Shouldn't they be all familiar and easy around each other? But they're giving me... I don't know, 'awkward blind date' vibes."

Lila hummed in agreement. "Exactly. If Jamie doesn't like him, she could just say so."

"Right? Besides, Vince and her uncle both seem like the protective types. I can't imagine either of them pushing her into something she doesn't want."

"Maybe it's her mom. She is always been with her mom, and her mom probably has more say in the matter."

Amelia shook her head, clearly unsure. The Lane family seemed kind of strange.

Jamie was ahead. Realizing the two of them weren't keeping up, she turned around and waved them over. Lila and Amelia quickly quieted down and caught up to them.
