too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 522

Faith stopped in her tracks, clenching her hands at her sides. The massive weight that had been pressing down on her for years—the one called "father" or "patriarchy"—once again bore down on her, making it hard to lift her head.

She turned to glance in the direction where Kieran had left then took a deep breath. "Dad, I still need to follow Mr. Morgan to the marketing department to check on the situation. Let's talk later, or else I'm afraid it will affect the cooperation between our families."

After saying that, she ignored Dennis' darkened expression and quickly turned to leave the room.

Behind her, Dennis was so furious that he wanted to kick over the nearby coffee table. But just as he raised his foot, he realized this was Kieran's office, so he swallowed his anger and held back.

Faith walked quickly. When she stepped out of Morgan Group Headquarters, she happened to see Kieran driving away.

No one from the Moore family had followed her, so she also got into her car and drove off. She kept going until she found a quiet place to park.

Taking a deep breath, she finally managed to stop her slightly trembling hands.

…

Kieran drove straight to Lila's film set. By the time he arrived, it was their break time.

But Lila wasn't resting. She was helping Matthew go through the script.

"Look at this part—right now, you two are arguing. Your character should be in a state of exhaustion and frustration. Besides using your eyes to show that emotion, you can try some small gestures, like slightly lowering your head or rubbing your temples. You have to immerse yourself in the emotion to truly become the character."

Matthew wasn't professionally trained in acting, but after studying under a coach, his progress had exceeded Lila's expectations.

After listening to her explanation, Matthew nodded.

Spring in Northridge was short. Even though the season had only just begun, the temperature already felt like early summer.

There was little shade at the filming location, and since they were shooting outdoor scenes, Matthew was already sweating.

"You should go rest over there for a bit." Lila patted him on the shoulder.

Kieran arrived just in time to see the two talking. Matthew nodded, obediently taking his script and moving to a shaded spot under the eaves.

As he looked up, he noticed the imposing man and greeted him politely. "Hello, Mr. Morgan."

Kieran gave a slight nod, withdrawing his gaze from his vaguely familiar features before continuing toward Lila.

She had already heard Matthew's greeting. When she turned around, she smiled brightly.

"Kieran," she called out in a cheerful tone.
