too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 441

Ash seemed a little puzzled by the term.

Cole cleared away the empty fruit platter in front of him and handed him another orange. "It's like the relationship your mom and dad have."

The child's face lit up with understanding, and he smiled sweetly. "Then, will you guys have a baby in the future?"

The question caught Cole off guard. He glanced at Kieran, who hadn't said a word. The latter had already set down the file in his hands. "Why do you ask?"

Initially, Ash had been a bit wary of Kieran, but after learning about his relationship with Lila, he didn't think he was that scary anymore. Kieran had even softened his tone and appeared more patient.

"My mom and dad haven't been home in two years. when I asked Grandma why, she said it was because mom had a baby, and it's hard for her to travel." He tilted his head, struggling to find the right words.

"I have a little brother now. When I talked to Dad on the phone, he said my brother was really cute and that he'd come to get me when he's older, so I could live with them. But I know they won't come for me. It's okay though, because I'm happy with Grandma. And now I've met Lila. So, it's not too bad."

He was only six, but the words coming from him seemed so mature. Cole went quiet after hearing that. Kieran's gaze softened a little. He too had spent many years without his parents.

Just then, Lila walked in, walked over to the bed, and picked up Ash. "What are you talking about?"

Ash wrapped his arms around her neck as she cradled him. "Is he leaving soon?" He had noticed that Cole was packing things up. It distracted him and made him drop the topic.

Lila nodded. "Yes, they're going back home. We'll be leaving soon too, so we won't keep your grandmother waiting."
