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

When Lila saw the message, she didn't hesitate to text back right away. "Yeah."

"Can you do me a favor, then?" Terry began texting the details. "I need a photographer for an event tomorrow. It was a last-minute event, but I couldn't find any other suitable photographers. That's why I'd like to ask for your help. Can you help me out?"

Lila felt that she could always delay her trip back to the Morgan residence, so she agreed to help Terry out.

At dinner, she brought the matter up to Kieran.

"Terry wants me to help him out at an event. I'll be standing in as the photographer."

Cole, who had stayed for dinner, continued the topic. "Recently, I was involved in

a handover process with Terry regarding some tasks. He's a lot more hardworking and intelligent than I thought."

She smiled in response. What Cole said was true.

When she was first acquainted with Terry, she thought he was a rich playboy who did whatever he wanted due to his flippant personality.

Back then, she had specifically advised Dorian not to spend too much time with scions who partied their days away. She was worried that Dorian might get assimilated into that group and wind up ruining his own life.

It was true that Lila didn't get to know Terry that much. But it was during those rare moments of interaction that made her change her opinion of Terry immensely.

Terry might be a drinker, but he didn't go around hooking up with anyone. Not only that, but he was also a righteous man.

Lila felt like a joke. After all, she did advise Dorian to stay away from Terry in the past.noveldrama

After dinner, Cole helped clean up the kitchen before leaving the mansion.

Kieran followed him out of the mansion as well. Lila didn't really pay attention to his whereabouts. She merely thought Kieran still had some work matters to discuss with Cole.

She didn't expect Kieran to return with a few bags after a few minutes. They looked like shopping bags filled with clothes and shoes.

Since Lila was still playing a game at that time, she shot the bags a glance before looking away.

All she could think about was the shirt that was left on the steps.

How on earth did it get soiled in the first place? It was definitely not the reason Shannon wanted her to believe, that was for sure.

Kieran had his own principles. He wouldn't let himself indulge in women. His abstinence went beyond his appearance, after all.

Meanwhile, Kieran noticed the way Lila had glanced at him momentarily before looking down at her phone.

Honestly, he couldn't understand the appeal of that game. But he was fine with it as long as Lila liked it and was happy with it.

Besides, it was normal for him not to understand a woman's thought process.

Kieran didn't disturb Lila. He opted to head upstairs instead.

That was when Lila raised her head to ask, "Are you still busy with work?"

"Yeah. I need to verify the accuracy of a few more documents." After that, he added, "I'll be done with them soon."

Lila's lips curled into a smile. "Go, then. It's already very late. Make sure to rest as soon as you're done with your work."

No matter how smart Kieran was, he still needed sustenance to keep his gears whirring.

Once Lila finally returned to her room, she realized that the bags Kieran had carried were arranged neatly by her bed.

The sight of those bags took her by surprise. Were those clothes and shoes meant for her?

She opened the bags one by one to see two long-sleeved dresses, two sets of long-sleeved shirts and pants, and three pairs of shoes.

More importantly, these clothes were already washed in advance. Lila could wear them anytime she wanted.

Did Kieran carry this many bags just now?

Still, Lila kicked her slippers off and leaped onto her bed while giggling happily.
