too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 455

Ruby met Noah's probing gaze, her expression puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. You can drive me home. Lila's staying with Amelia anyway," Noah said quickly.

He glanced back at Lila, his look practically shouting, "Don't worry, I'll guard your love like a soldier on the front lines."

Lila, however, just remained silent.

"You're such a good person," she muttered vaguely. "You two go ahead. I'm going to grab Ame."

Since it was her period and she hadn't been drinking, Lila decided to handle things herself.

Amelia, half-asleep, was groggily helped into the car by Lila.

Not wanting to bother anyone else, Lila drove straight to Vermilion Estate and got Amelia settled in the guest room.

Once Amelia was tucked in, Lila headed to the kitchen to whip up a hangover remedy. When she brought the drink back, Amelia grabbed her arm and refused to let go.

"Another drink!" Amelia demanded.

"Alright, alright," Lila said, her tone soothing. "One more sip. I'll even feed you."

"Feed me? I like that!" Amelia's big, slightly dazed eyes lit up as she stared at Lila. "Ah—"

Lila sighed helplessly. Seeing Amelia open her mouth, she picked up the bowl and fed her another sip of the remedy.

Amelia paused mid-sip and frowned. "Why does this taste weird?"

"It's a new flavor, I got it specially for you. Is it good?" Lila fibbed effortlessly.

Amelia, now sprawled obediently on the bed, muttered, "It's not good. Too sour. Don't get this one again."

Lila chuckled softly. She stayed by Amelia's side until the latter drifted off to sleep, then quietly left the room.

After closing the door, Lila picked up the leftover remedy and took a sip herself.

"Oh my god, it's so sour!" She gasped.

"Next time, less plum, more water," she thought.

Grimacing, she grabbed some hot water to wash away the sharp sourness before finally heading back to her room.

The moment she stepped inside, Kieran reached out to pull her into his arms, but she nimbly dodged.

"I smell like all kinds of things, I need a shower first," she said, already darting toward the bathroom.

Kieran shook his head, amused as she disappeared into the bathroom in a flash.

When everything was finally tidied up and she climbed into bed, Kieran reached for her again.

This time, Lila took the initiative, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I'm leaving early tomorrow. Ame probably won't be awake yet, but I already told Cindy to leave her breakfast. Oh, and she's a little scared of you, so take your breakfast to the office, okay?"
