too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 540

The young man hesitated for a moment before getting up to leave. Before walking out, he said, "Get some rest then. I'll see you around."

Amelia barely acknowledged him with a nod. As soon as the door closed, she picked up her phone and messaged hotel housekeeping to change the bed linens immediately.

Lila lingered outside their door for a moment, and as soon as she looked up, she spotted Vince at the end of the hallway. Her gaze flicked between him and Amelia's closed door. Before she could decide whether to approach him, he turned and walked away.

Acting on impulse, Lila hurried after him, catching up just in time to stop the elevator doors from closing. "Can we talk?"

Vince hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the elevator. Lila got straight to the point. "Have you fallen for Amelia?"

"I'm not sure," he answered bluntly. The dim hallway lighting cast a shadow over his eyes, making his emotions difficult to read.

Lila studied him before asking, "Then, why did you come here tonight?"

Vince gave a small, mirthless smile. "I wanted to talk to her, but it looks like there's no need for that anymore."

Looking at his indifferent expression, Lila was reminded of how conflicted Jamie had been a few days ago. What were the odds that the siblings were both having relationship problems?

"It's not too late to talk to her," she suggested.

Vince shook his head. "It's fine, as long as she's happy."

After a brief pause, he added, "We're all adults here. We know how to make our own choices. I have other things to do—I should go."

Lila watched as the elevator doors closed, at a loss for words. As soon as she turned around, she ran into the young man from Amelia's room. "What are you doing here…" she asked.
