too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 44

Dorian had offered her an out time and time again, yet Lila took advantage of his love for her, becoming increasingly reckless!

It was all his fault for spoiling her before.

That's why she felt free to behave so recklessly.

The man patted Dorian on the shoulder with a serious expression. "My friend, if she doesn't appreciate your kindness, just leave her be for a few days."

Terry frowned, finding the advice utterly absurd.

The man was rich and often had money-hungry women around him, and their tantrums were just a way to get more. They'd eventually come to terms with it.

But Lila was different from those women!

He turned to Dorian, thinking he wouldn't listen to such nonsense.

To his surprise, Dorian's previously dark expression had eased a bit.

Terry was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to speak, the man pressed on, "Dorian, you could use her own tricks against her. Just bring a woman in front of her—no need for anything too intimate. I guarantee she'll come begging for you back. It's foolproof."

Terry exploded with laughter. "Can you just leave?

"Dorian, you can't believe that! You know Lila's personality better than I do. If she's saying she wants to break up and has blocked you, this is serious. You should properly apologize and explain things to her. She's soft-hearted and will listen."

After saying that, he added, "It's not shameful to apologize to your girlfriend. Otherwise, when things really become irreparable, you'll regret it."

To his surprise, when he finished speaking, Dorian let out a cold sneer, his gaze turning icy.

"When it gets to that point, she'll be the one regretting it. She's just being too difficult!"

Terry was stunned.

Did he just hit a live wire?

Seeing Dorian's anger, the man chuckled and nudged his drink. "Honestly, Terry, you just don't have enough experience with women. She's playing the game of desire and restraint like a pro."

Terry had no desire to engage in conversation with him.

When she returned, she first took a shower and changed into comfortable loungewear.

After slipping off her shoes, she casually sat on the carpet and began marking her script.

As she got busy, she lost track of time. When she finally looked up, it was already dark outside. However, Kieran still hadn't returned.

She decided to go find something to eat.

Just as she stood up, she heard the door unlocking. Was he back?

Not bothering to put her shoes back on, she walked toward the sound, only to see Cole helping a somewhat drunk man inside.

"Ms. Hart, why didn't you tell us you were back?" Cole asked.

"I didn't say anything because I was worried it would mess up Uncle Kieran's plans. Isn't he not much of a drinker?

How did he end up getting drunk?" Lila was surprised as she reached out to help.
