too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 603

Their eyes met for a few moments before Soren let out a soft chuckle. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. We've known each other for so many years, of course I know what you're like.

"You don't talk much, you don't make friends easily. But seeing so many new people around you this time… I have to admit, it surprised me."

Jamie looked at him but still said nothing.

Soren continued, "I'm happy for you, but at the same time, I can't help feeling a little… upset."

This time, Jamie finally responded. "Why are you upset?"

"Because my Jamie doesn't belong to just me anymore."

His words made her unconsciously clench her palm. His gaze was warm, tinged with amusement, yet she felt an odd weight settle on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

"My Jamie has grown up. You're not that little girl anymore, the one who used to follow behind me, calling my name in that soft voice. But I suppose that's a good thing too."

Soren glanced at her, then at the Magi Pictures logo reflected in the car window behind her. "Go on. I'll be busy these next couple of days, so I won't be coming to see you for a while."

Jamie nodded and slowly unfastened her seatbelt.

Just as she was about to close the door, she hesitated, then said, "Soren, about the marriage… I'll give it serious thought."

Soren held her gaze for a moment before nodding.

Jamie finally shut the door.

As he watched her walk away, a small smile played on his lips.

"Still a kit," he murmured.

In Lila's office, Amelia sat across from her, chin resting on one hand as she stared.

Ten minutes passed. Then, without warning, she reached out and snatched the document from Lila's hands.

"Is this boring old file more interesting than me?"

Lila let out a helpless laugh. "Ms. Joyce, if you have something to say, you could just say it."

She had been patiently holding back, curious to see how long Amelia could stay quiet. Turns out, it was shorter than she expected.
