Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 228

Kieran knew what he was doing. But why? Why did he say she was his fiancée?

Lila wanted to ask but didn't know how. Suddenly, the image of him drunkenly holding her and kissing her flashed through her mind.

She wondered momentarily, "Could it be that Uncle Kieran likes me?"

No, it couldn't be! She quickly dismissed the thought.

What he was doing was just helping her. Saying they were engaged was a good

way to handle things. No one would believe she would give up Kieran for someone like Fletcher.

But if this continued, what would happen if he met someone he truly liked?

Lila followed Kieran into the house. The once peaceful and comfortable environment now felt strangely awkward.

"Uncle Kieran..." She wanted to add, "Let's talk," but she couldn't find the words when she met his questioning gaze.

"Your head wound is bleeding again. Let me get some medicine and rewrap it," Kieran said, turning to get the first aid kit. He sat beside Lila and moved carefully, his focus intense as he unwrapped the bandage.

She studied his expression but couldn't detect anything unusual. Then, she pursed her lip and spoke softly. "Uncle Kieran, you shouldn't have said I'm your fiancée. It will affect you later..."
