too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 70

On the other end, Zara asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Dorian replied, lowering his gaze so his emotions were hidden. "I'll resolve the trending post issue. You should get some rest."

The past was the past. There was no point in pursuing it now. What mattered most was showing Lila his sincerity.

He ended the call, yet the irritation in his heart refused to settle.

He sat outside for a long time, lost in thought. Just as he was about to get up, it suddenly all became clear to him.

Lily was angry, and it was likely because she felt insecure. Hardly anyone aside from a few close friends knew about their relationship.

Dorian initially hadn't made their relationship public for the sake of his career. After becoming a screen legend, he wanted to protect Lila. Later, Zara diverted his attention, and the public announcement of their relationship kept getting postponed.

It was now time to give Lila an official status—to let everyone know she was his girlfriend.

Lila would surely be moved when he did this. Then, he would go to Mount Shasta to get proof of all the things she had done for him, put on a new destiny bracelet, and propose to her. She would be so touched. Dorian could already imagine it.

He eagerly reached out to a few online influencers, asking them to spread the news quickly.

Once everything was set, he looked up and saw Alex from the Northridge Opera House walking along a path nearby. She was dressed in a dark silk gown, her figure moving forward with graceful poise.

Dorian paused for a moment, feeling as if fate itself was lending him a hand. He quickly turned on the recorder on his phone and caught up to her.

"Ms. Parker."

Alex turned around, and upon recognizing Dorian, frowned a little. "Mr. Blake, what can I do for you?"

"Ms. Parker, I would like to ask you something. Did you stop teaching Darcy because of Lila?" He skipped the formalities and got straight to the point.

He wasn't asking this to prove Lila's fault but to prove that her claims of not loving him were false. She was lying and just acting out of spite.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have made Alex leave, making things difficult for both Darcy and himself.

There was no way she didn't love him anymore.
