Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 168

Noah felt a thousand curses swirling in his mind. He took a deep breath and cautiously peeked his head around the corner.

Lila was sitting obediently on the sofa while Kieran headed to the kitchen with a glass in his hand.

Letting out a sigh, Noah seriously questioned if he had injured his brain during the fight. Maybe that's why he was seeing things.

He had better get checked out at the hospital that afternoon and use the report to squeeze some compensation out of Dorian.

At the police station, Dorian stood watching as Lila's car disappeared into the distance. It wasn't until Oliver drove up that he finally moved.

Seeing Dorian's grim expression, Oliver kept his head low and silently opened the car door for him.

Zara moved to follow, but Dorian's cold look froze her in place. "I've got things to handle. Go back on your own."

With that, he closed the door and signaled Oliver to drive away immediately.

Zara stood on the sidewalk, stunned.

The man who once showered her with care, who used to worry about her getting burned by a cup of tea, had left her stranded on the street without a second thought.
