Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 325

Lila looked up, her once bright eyes filled with a much more subdued emotion.

For convenience, she wore a light-colored sweater and wide-legged pants with a long black coat. The energetic her now looked somewhat listless, her mood weighing her down.

"Michael came to ask me for help. He hoped I could beg you to let Shannon go. I agreed, but now I regret it.

"Shannon hurt me. I can choose not to hold a grudge, but why should I forgive her for all the others she's hurt?

"Yes, I went back on my word. I'm despicable-I don't want to help Shannon." She took a step back, her voice growing more frantic as she spoke, becoming more agitated.

Lila gave him a bitter smile. "Kieran, you must think I'm a bad person, too."

She could have refused, but she agreed and failed to follow through. She lowered her eyes, a bitter smile tugging at her lips. She understood her bond with Michael but couldn't bring herself to plead for Shannon.

He continued, "I've always seen you as a child, but I've overlooked that you have long become an adult who knows right from wrong."
