Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 8

Zara was halfway through her sentence when she noticed that Dorian's expression had soured considerably.

The neighbor replied enthusiastically, "Yes, she's just about that height, and her little face is truly exquisite!"

Dorian's face darkened, and his gaze turned cold when he heard this.

Usually, he and Lila would update each other about their schedules, but over the past couple of days, he intentionally gave her the silent treatment because she sulked.

Yesterday, he found out that Billy had given her a two-week break, and now she had come to complain to Taylor and Camille.

No wonder the couple who were usually so kind to him gave him such a hard time today.

Dorian glanced at Zara, who had slightly furrowed her brows and began to think that Lila was not only spoiled but also quite calculating.

After waiting for nearly two hours, Camille had Taylor call him.

"Dorian, Camille and I really can't spare the time right now. You should head back first, and I'll contact you another day."

Dorian pressed down his emotions and replied, "Okay." After hanging up, his eyes grew colder.

The neighbor, however, seemed oblivious to the tension and continued, "Do you know her? Does she have a boyfriend?"

Dorian didn't answer that question but asked, "Did you see Mr. and Mrs. Foster leave today?"

The neighbor thought momentarily. "I didn't notice them in the morning, but after that woman came, I didn't see them leave either. You arrived not long after she did. I noticed you both standing out there for quite a while, so I got curious and came out to ask."

Kiley was out for a short time, and the neighbor happened to miss seeing her. But this information confirmed Dorian's suspicions.

Lila must have just left when Taylor called him over, and they didn't let him in. This wasn't because they were busy; it was clearly to vent for Lila.

Zara saw the look on his face and gently reassured him, "Don't be angry just yet; maybe there's a misunderstanding here.
