Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 388

But Noah wasn't exaggerating. Everyone in his family spoiled Lila. His older brother, Nathan, and his dad, who lived abroad most of the time, would come home with gifts they specially selected for Lila. But they never did that for him.

Just like Lila, Noah had nothing to show, but he was the target of the family's criticisms. At the same time, they would celebrate all of Lila's little wins, such as receiving a minor award for her movie. Such celebrations were usually reserved for huge occasions, such as the major holidays.

Ruby immediately got it. She sounded envious. "Well, she's quite lucky, then."

"Not really." With a frown, Noah said, "You have no idea how difficult her life used to be."

After a brief pause, he waved. "Forget about it. I shouldn't bring it up.'

He turned to her. "Ms. Clemence."

"Just Ruby, please," she replied, looking up with clear eyes.

He hesitated. "Whatever happened in the past, Lila is now part of our family. No one can hurt her. Got it?"

He watched her from the corner of his eyes. It wasn't until she nodded that he looked away.

But Ruby felt a little puzzled by his choice of words. "But hasn't Ms. Hart always been part of your family?"
