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

Vince nodded and didn't stay any longer, but he glanced at Amelia before leaving.

"Are you planning to keep avoiding Mr. Joyce?"

She rolled her eyes dramatically. "What else should I do? Go back and be engaged to him?"

Vince was dumbfounded.

He then turned and left.

Once he was far away, Amelia rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "This guy's actually not bad. He's handsome, capable... but..."

Jamie lifted her gaze, waiting for her to continue.

The dream of having Lila as a sister-in-law had already been shattered, but Amelia wasn't a bad choice either.

Meanwhile, Lila barely had time to rest, and Kieran came by more frequently.

"Isn't it too much for Uncle Kieran to come so often, considering how far the city is?" During a break on set, a few of them were chatting, and Jamie suddenly asked this.

Lila felt a little heartache over it, too. Filming had been going on for a month now, and Kieran had been coming every two days.

She had told him that once a week would be enough, and since the filming was progressing well, it should wrap up in about two and a half months.

According to the usual pattern, Kieran should have arrived today.

He usually came before lunch, but it was already 3:00 pm, and he still hadn't shown up.

Was he not coming today?

Lila's gaze shifted as she said, "I already mentioned this to Uncle Kieran a few days ago. He shouldn't be coming today."

After saying that, Lila suddenly remembered when she was in the early stages of dating Dorian.

During those years, she would constantly run around and stop by the set to see him.

People would always tease that Dorian spent every day either filming or waiting for her.noveldrama

If he knew when she would arrive, his mood would lift noticeably.

They all said that Dorian really loved her.

Today, as she waited here, she felt a subtle sense of anticipation.

Lila froze for a moment.

She pressed against her chest, then took a sip of water, trying to calm herself.

Jamie had only asked out of curiosity, and when she heard Lila's response, she didn't think much of it.

She began talking about something else with Teddy and didn't notice Lila's strange reaction for that brief moment.

Lila blinked, pushing the anticipation down in her heart.

She shouldn't let such thoughts cloud her mind when it came to Kieran.

The moon should hang high in the sky for everyone to admire, not be touched by her, bringing it down from its pedestal.

She looked up again and unexpectedly saw Kieran approaching from a distance. Her heart skipped a beat.

She lowered her head and blinked a few times, wondering if she was imagining things.

When she looked up again, he was already close by.

"I'm late because there was a meeting at the company."

Hearing his explanation, Lila was even more surprised.

Kieran was a man of few words. He was decisive and efficient in his work.

According to others, he was ruthless, never wasting words, and I did things on his own terms. No one Sworth him explaining anything to in detail.

If he wanted to do something, he would simply do it, no questions asked.

Lila nodded, carefully suppressing her emotions.

Today, Amelia wasn't around.

After Jamie and Teddy received the things Kieran brought, they gave Lila and Kieran the space they needed, and they went to rest elsewhere.

At the moment, Lila didn't feel like eating. She glanced at Kieran, sitting next to her, and suddenly had a thought.

"Uncle Kieran, is the company busy tomorrow morning? If not, don't leave tonight."

After she said this, she froze for a moment. She had become a bit too casual with the opposite sex, and such words could easily be misinterpreted.

Kieran's gaze fell on her.

Lila hurriedly explained, "No, what mean is, we don't have any filming tonight The work ends at six, so if around

Se free, we can take y

a bit afterward."
