Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Kieran walked up behind Lila. "Even though you said you don't need a new wedding house, I shouldn't skimp on it for you."

He continued, "I had someone tidy up this garden. After we get married, we'll live here. It'll be a new home for us."

Lila glanced at the neat, well-maintained garden, which didn't look like it had just been tidied up.

Her heart stirred as she watched Kieran extend his hand toward her. "Do you want to have a look inside?"

His hand was large, with distinct knuckles and slender fingers. Even if he weren't Morgan Group's president, he could probably make a decent income as a hand model.

Cole felt anxious watching from the side. "Lila, hurry up and take his hand!" he said.

Lila hesitated, then placed her hand in his palm.

This kind of contact would be inevitable if they truly became husband and wife. For now, it was just part of preparing for life after marriage.

Lila couldn't help but feel nervous, even with that reassurance.

Kieran led her inside, guiding her through the living area. The design was single- story, with a glass room beside it.

Though Lila hadn't been involved in the decoration, it was clear that every detail reflected her preferences.

Outside the glass room was a pond with koi fish swimming lazily.
