Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 356

Lila felt a sudden jolt in her chest. Had she unintentionally shown resistance in her expression?

But she wasn't resisting.

Her emotions were just a little heavy.

She quickly shook her head. "I'm doing this willingly."

After a brief pause, she added, "My husband and I chose to get married of our own accord."

The staff member smiled warmly and handed them two candies. "You make a lovely couple. I wish you a lifetime of happiness."

Kieran's eyes lit up at her words.

Maybe people were always more forgiving toward those who were good-looking.

Even the photographer spoke gently. "Could you two move a little closer? Sir, lean your head slightly toward the lady-yes, just like that!

"Now, miss, lean a little closer to him as well. Perfect! And smile!"

Lila's gaze moved to the camera lens as she heard the last instruction.

Right, she needed to smile.

Ultimately, the two of them walked out of the city hall side by side.

Lila held the marriage license, still processing what had just happened.
