Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 101

Lila turned her head slightly, avoiding Dorian's gaze. She was relieved she had worn something he hadn't seen before today.

Neither of them noticed her and instead turned to walk into the restaurant. While ordering, Nicole picked all her favorite dishes.

"Eat more. Once you finish this project, you'll take a few days off, right? Don't stay at Kieran's place then.

"Come to the Morgan residence for a few days to keep your grandparents company. I'll have the housekeeper take good care of you, too."

Lila swallowed her bite. "It's fine at Uncle Kieran's place. I'll also return to the Morgan residence to visit you all."

"He's a grown man. How would he know how to take care of others? I heard from Mr. Mason that he doesn't even eat on time. Sometimes, the meals I send over sit untouched because he's too busy."

Nicole sighed. "He's just too hard working. If only he could share a bit of that dedication with that lazy brat Noah... I'd feel more at ease," she added while placing more food on Lila's plate.

Seeing Lila's obedient and well-mannered demeanor made her even more dissatisfied with her carefree son.
