Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 389

Kieran spoke before Noah did, "Lila doesn't know a thing about gaming."

Noah quickly chimed in, "Yeah, she has no idea, and she doesn't like it. She's never liked playing video games. Besides, she's just married Kieran. They're newlyweds who have no time for competitions. Am I right?"

Lila met his eyes. She nodded, her long lashes fluttering and hiding away her emotions as she looked down.

Kieran knew how much she loved gaming. At the same time, she understood Noah's actions too. Noah just wanted to emphasize her close relationship with Kieran so Ruby would back off.

Lila lowered her gaze as she quietly ate.

Overall, the meal went well. At the end of it, Ruby asked, "Where are you guys visiting next?"

Noah hurriedly grabbed her arm. "That's none of your business! Aren't you gonna come to my competition this afternoon?"

He thought, "Thinking of third wheeling? Not under my watch!"
