too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 575

Amelia glanced at the two of them, smiling casually. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that a man as composed and exceptional as Kieran could get jealous.

The three of them headed to the restaurant. As soon as they entered the private dining room, the lively atmosphere hit them.

Lila went through another round of reintroductions. Although she couldn't recall the names, everyone felt familiar to her.

Especially when her body reacted instinctively—she reached out and touched Jamie's face.

Jamie froze for a moment before grabbing Lila's hand and rubbing her cheek against it, like a younger sister seeking comfort from her older sister. It was such an endearing sight, it made people's hearts soften.

"Lila, it's such a relief that you're okay! Hurry and sit down to eat."

Teddy watched them with a genuine, cheerful smile. But when he caught sight of the small charm hanging from Jamie's bag, his smile slowly faded.

It looked just like the one Soren had on his backpack.

The same structure from their high school biology textbook—the cloverleaf-shaped transfer RNA.

Transfer… huh.

He let out a quiet sigh in his heart.

After their lively meal, considering Lila's condition, no one suggested going anywhere else. Instead, they all prepared to head home.

As they stepped out of the restaurant, they realized it was raining.

At the entrance, Soren stood holding a black umbrella. He was dressed in a well-fitted suit, exuding elegance and poise.

He said in a gentle tone, "Jamie."

Jamie was clearly surprised to see him—she hadn't told him when the gathering would end.

Noticing her confusion, Soren smiled indifferently. "I've been waiting outside for a while. It's dark and raining. It wouldn't be safe for you to go back alone."

Amelia glanced at Teddy and gave him a small push, but he remained silent.

Jamie's gaze flickered toward him briefly before she turned back to Soren and gave a slight nod.

Then, she turned to the group. "I'll head home first. You all take care on the way back."
