too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 572

After a moment, Faith nodded.

"But, Mr. Morgan, you'll need to deal with the Moore family for a few more days, since the shareholders' meeting is about a month away."

But how could they stall the Moore family? Everyone was clearly thinking about this.

"How about this?" Lila pursed her lips. "You can tell your father that Kieran and I are getting a divorce. Isn't there a cool-off period for a divorce? That would buy us a month."

Hearing her suggestion, Kieran didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. He reached out and pinched her earlobe.

Lila slapped his hand away but then hugged his arm. "Isn't it a good idea?"

Even though he knew she was playfully acting spoiled, Kieran couldn't bring himself to get angry.

He nodded slightly at Faith before leading Lila out of the room. As soon as they stepped outside, he raised his hand and tapped her forehead.

"Lila, I'll say it again—we are not getting a divorce."

Lila looked at him seriously. "I never said we are. It's fake."

"Even if it's fake, it's not happening."

He held her hand and walked forward slowly. "Let me ask you—what were you thinking when you first heard Faith say she couldn't have children?"

Lila pursed her lips. In that moment, she had indeed wavered. From a moral standpoint, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Kieran to marry Faith.

Kieran could tell what she was thinking. "Lila, there are a thousand ways to repay a debt. It doesn't have to involve a lifelong commitment. Just give her what she really wants."

Lila nodded, then hesitated before asking, "But what if what she wants is to marry you?"

Kieran glanced at her with a raised eyebrow.

That was a good question.

But he wouldn't marry her.

Since the scenario didn't exist, there was no need to trouble himself with an impossible dilemma.

That night, Charlie, who had been keeping guard outside their hospital room, seemed restless and found someone to take his place.
