Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 366

Lila choked on Amelia's bold remarks, desperately wanting to cover her mouth.

"What, are you two former convicts? How do you have such self-control? You stared at each other all night and still slept like saints?"

Amelia paced back and forth across the office with an incredulous expression, muttering, "This doesn't make sense. Something's off here."

Lila massaged her temples. "Can you stop pacing? I'm getting dizzy just watching you."

Amelia leaned down, pressing half of her weight onto Lila. "Come on, tell me what happened!"

The two were so close that Lila had no choice but to lean back. Their positions were strangely ambiguous.
