Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 183

Lila covered her eyes, hiding the sorrow deep within them.

"Lila, stop being so stubborn," Dorian advised, narrowing his eyes as he caught sight of the mocking curve on her lips.

"Dorian, we were no longer the same as before the moment you started leaving me repeatedly for other women."
