Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Kieran's gaze fell on the document in his hand, yet he couldn't read a single word.

He knew Lila was a logical person. And it was because of this that he didn't know what to say.

Everyone has their logical side, but heartache doesn't disappear because of it.

Kieran might have found it easier if Lila were the kind to break down hysterically and question him. But her silence and calmness were the hardest to deal with.

At least he could visit Lila while she was still in Northridge City. But he feared she was already considering leaving.

Kieran recalled the moment she brought up divorce. Lila's expression turned into a mix of disappointment, grief, and a faint trace of calmness.

Cole stood by, waiting for Kieran to speak. Finally, Kieran muttered, "Make sure to protect Lila until James is captured."

Cole sighed and left.
