Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 307

When Lila returned, Kieran was already waiting at Evergreen Heights. As usual, he was dressed in a suit, his expression stern.

Seeing her enter, he stood up and took a box from beside him. It was for her, and it contained the outfit she would wear that evening.

He had chosen a silk gown this time, so she casually bunched her hair up with a claw clip. After a moment, she decided to wear a pair of high heels.

As she headed downstairs, Kieran stood up and waited at the foot of the stairs. When she got closer, he reached out to take her hand.

Lila looked at his open palm and hesitated momentarily before placing her significantly smaller hand into it. The intimacy of the gesture made her nervous. She tried to steady her heartbeat, afraid that he would notice her racing pulse.

"Don't be nervous. You're his fiancée now. This kind of gesture is normal," she silently reassured herself.

Even though she tried to relax, Kieran still noticed her nervousness. A faint smile tugged at his lips.
