Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 358

Lila felt her mood ease after feeling the warmth of Kieran's hand, allowing him to guide her forward gently.

They climbed the stone steps one by one, slowly going up the gentle hill.

Eventually, they stopped in front of the row of the Hart family tombstones and then continued walking forward.

Lila counted silently to herself. They had arrived.

She paused, gazing at the two stone tablets side by side. The black-and-white photos still depicted her parents in their younger years.

In a few more years, she would be older than her parents when these photos were taken.

Kieran placed the flowers in front of the gravestones.

Lila spoke softly. "Mom, Dad, it's been a long time since I've visited you."

She hadn't told them about her situation recently.

She stretched out her left hand, thinking, "Can you see this ring? I'm married. But things are a bit complicated, and explaining would take too long. Just know I'm doing well. The Morgan family has been good to me. I married the highly regarded Uncle Kieran. He's a good man."
