too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 479

Faith looked at Kieran, her tone still calm. "Don’t worry, I won’t threaten your lover’s position. Once we both get what we want, we can immediately announce the dissolution of the engagement. How about it?"

Kieran’s gaze deepened, concealing a wave of emotions.

For a moment, silence filled the room.

Faith couldn’t read his expression, and it made her feel uneasy. But she believed he wouldn’t refuse.

This was clearly a win-win situation. As a businessman, Kieran should understand that.

To her surprise, he stood up and casually adjusted his already flawless suit, saying, "It seems that you and I don’t share the same perspective, Ms. Moore. In that case, there’s nothing more to discuss."

Faith frowned. She hadn’t expected him to reject her without even considering it.

"Why?" she asked, puzzled. "This is obviously a mutually beneficial collaboration."

"It is."

"Then why refuse?"

Kieran lifted his eyes and glanced at her, his gaze dark. "It’s a win-win situation for you and me. But for Lila, it’s not."

Faith was stunned by his last words, confusion flashing in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "I won’t take anything from Lila. You belong only to her! You can think this through. I can give you time."

Kieran lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. "Looking at it this way, maybe I’m not the one in need here."

Faith froze, suddenly realizing how desperate she had sounded. She had just lost the upper hand.

Noticing her reaction, Kieran didn’t say anything further. He simply nodded slightly. "Goodbye."

Faith stood rooted to the spot. Watching him leave without hesitation, her fingertips dug into her palm.

She desperately wanted to escape the Moore family. But with Kieran outside of Luxford and Morgan Group not within the Moore family’s control, this fake engagement was her best chance.

That was why she had been so eager, pushing step by step.

Taking a deep breath, Faith quickened her pace and followed him outside.

"Kieran."

Kieran stopped and turned to look at her.
