too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 493

Lila was completely drained, but when it came to taking a shower, she insisted on pushing Kieran out of the bathroom. After a quick rinse, she stepped out.

The moment she opened the door, she was met with Kieran's amused gaze. Even in loose sleepwear, he exuded an effortless elegance, like a quiet light in the darkness—cool and composed, yet inexplicably reassuring.

Lila looked at him, her lips curving into a soft smile, warm like the first breath of spring. Wrapped in his arms, she drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep and didn't wake up until the alarm rang the next morning.

Lila stirred slightly, feeling the weight of his arm around her waist. "It's time to get up," she said, her voice heavy with sleep.

Kieran reached over to silence the alarm and, instinctively, patted her back. "Why don't you sleep a little more?"

"I can't. I've got work at the company today, and I'm heading to the set soon." Lila wriggled out from under the covers, laughing as she patted him. "If you're tired, you can sleep in a bit more."

However, Kieran had already opened his eyes. He sat up slowly, his gaze lingering on her for a long moment.

Lila noticed and frowned slightly. "What's wrong?" Then, she glanced down and immediately realized—her skin was covered in faint marks from the night before.

Her breath hitched as she grabbed the blanket and threw it over him. "Stay under there! I need to change."

A deep, muffled chuckle came from beneath the covers. "It's a little stuffy in here. Can I come out?"

"No, you can't! Give me two minutes!" Lila shot back without hesitation. She got dressed as fast as she could, then pulled Kieran out from under the blanket.
