too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 526

Jamie shook her head. "Not really. He went to university when I was 13 years old, and graduated with a PhD this year. He's already signed a contract to become a professor at the National Science Academy.

"That's why my mom is coming back—to discuss the engagement with his family."

Lila did a quick mental calculation. Completing a Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD in just seven years—this guy was impressive!

Thinking about Teddy who resembled a happy puppy, she couldn't blame Jamie's mom. If she had a daughter, she'd also want her to pick an accomplished scientist.

Lila thought for a moment. "Well, how do you feel about it? Plus, you two have been apart for seven or eight years. Has your childhood fiance not dated anyone during that time?"

Jamie shook her head. "He's been busy with research. He didn't have time to date."

"So, you two have been keeping in touch?"

"Yes, but not often because he's so busy. When we do talk, it's just casual small talk."

Lila nodded. "Do you like him?"

Seeing Jamie stay silent, Lila could guess her answer. Having a childhood sweetheart in a foreign country—it was hard to tell if her feelings for him were love or kinship.

She asked again, "What about Teddy? Do you like him?"

Jamie pursed her lips, hesitating for a moment. "I'm not sure. I've never met someone like Teddy before. He's optimistic and kind, and even though he comes from an ordinary background, he's always content and happy. He's like…"

She thought for a moment then continued, "Like the sun."

His presence was comforting, and it made her want to be around him.

Lila glanced up at the bright blue sky. It seemed Jamie had to choose between her childhood sweetheart or perfect match.

She reached out and pinched Jamie's cheek. "So, this is why you haven't been eating properly lately?"
