too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 490

"Let's talk when we get home." For the first time, Kieran cut Lila off. His gaze remained fixed on the road, hands steady on the wheel, but his knitted brows and cold demeanor made it clear that he was upset.

Lila stole a glance at him from the corner of her eye. The chill surrounding him was unmistakable.

She rarely saw Kieran lose his temper, especially when it was just the two of them. In fact, she couldn't recall a time he ever had. But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what she had done to upset him.

When they arrived, Kieran got out of the car, and Lila followed suit. What puzzled her even more was that if she had angered him, why was he still holding her hand? She looked down at her wrist, encased in his firm grip, confused.

As soon as they stepped inside, before she could even speak, Kieran spun around and pinned her against the wall. "Lila." His voice was low and cold, almost like he was accusing her.

Lila instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist. "Why are you upset?" Tilting her head slightly, she thought for a moment before asking, "Are you mad at me?"

Kieran pinched her waist in response, as if annoyed that he had been stewing over this for so long while she remained completely oblivious. He lowered his head and, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, bit her.

Lila winced at the sting and pushed him back just a little. But her eyes remained bright and clear as she looked up at him. "Is it because of that business card?"

If he didn't care, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to deliver the card to Stefan. But he couldn't have known what Faith had told her, or why she even had Faith's contact information in the first place. Still, a part of her was hopeful.

Before she could say anything else, Kieran leaned down, brushing his lips against hers. "Don't lie to me." Tilting her chin up, he forced her to meet his gaze. "You were thinking about giving me up, weren't you?"

Lila fell silent because, at one point, she had considered it.
