too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 460

For Morgan Group's financial crisis, her savings were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Kieran walked over and immediately saw what she was doing. He reached out and gently ruffled her hair.

"I'll take care of this," he said.

Lila lifted her gaze to meet his. Her eyes were clear, her expression unwavering.

"Kieran, we're family. As husband and wife, we should face hardships together. I can't just enjoy all the good things you and the Morgans have given me and then turn a blind eye when trouble comes.

"If I did that, if I were that heartless, how could I ever face my parents? How could I live up to the way Aunt Nicole raised me?"

Her voice was soft and steady, sweet like spring water.

"Kieran, I chose you because I want to stand by your side. Whether it's good times or bad, as long as it's you, that's enough. And besides, I believe in you. I believe in the Morgans. This storm will pass."

Kieran's heart skipped a beat.

When he finally spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse. "Lila."

He whispered her name, tenderness woven into every syllable.

In his heart, he silently added the words he didn't say out loud, "I won't let you suffer. My Lila loves sweet things."

Suddenly, Lila stood, wrapped her arms around his neck, and carefully avoided his injured arm. Then, in a rare show of dominance, she pushed him down onto the bed.

"Kieran, once your arm heals, and the company's troubles are settled… let's have a baby," she said.

Kieran's gaze darkened. His Adam's apple bobbed as heat surged through his veins. His entire body tensed, and blood roared under his skin, burning like fire.

He reached out, attempting to flip their positions.

"Don't move," Lila murmured, her eyes shimmering. "You're injured. It's not convenient for you."

Before he could protest, she got up. "Besides, I need to check on Grandpa. I feel like something's off with him today."

The warmth in his arms vanished, but his lips still held the ghost of a smile.

Lila helped him sit up. "You've been through a lot lately. Just wash up and get some rest tonight. Everything else… can wait until tomorrow."

"Alright."

She pulled the blanket over him, waiting until he lay down. Then, after turning off the lights, she quietly left the room.

When she reached Frances's door, she knocked. Hearing voices from inside, she pushed the door open and stepped in.
