Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 87

Terry laughed in disbelief. He pointed at Dorian, then at Zara. "You two... are amazing, just... amazing!"

Dorian realized Terry had misunderstood and tried to clarify, "I have done nothing wrong to Lila. Zara has been getting a lot of negative press, which is mostly due to what I did. I was worried she'd spiral if she was left alone at home."

He would have been better off not explaining anything at all. Terry didn't even want to answer him after hearing that. He simply turned to leave.

"Terry," Dorian called out and halted Terry's steps. "Just give me a few more days. Once the situation is under control, I will dispel the rumors around Zara. After that, I will not contact her any longer."

Zara clenched her fists. The calm expression she previously had instantly shifted.

Dorian wanted to add that he felt guilty for Zara and needed to make things right, but seeing Terry's disgusted look, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.

Terry's dark face did not lighten after the explanation. "You'd better follow through on that. Don't come back to me with any of this nonsense if you can't stick to your word."
