too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian)

The Morgan family had lost two family members. They couldn't afford to lose another. With tears in her eyes, Nicole nodded. Her face was pale as she held Lila's hand. "Lila, it'll be hard for you during this time. You should look after Kieran. You don't need to worry about me. I'll recover soon."

The company's affairs were overwhelming. Kieran would undoubtedly work tirelessly, pushing himself to the limit. No one knew when the difficulties would pass, but the human body had its limits.

Lila nodded. She only left after watching Nicole finish the medicine.

Lila had just returned to Vermilion Estate when Nova jumped off the couch and rubbed against her legs.

Lila bent down and picked up the cat. She then informed Kieran that she had returned to Vermilion Estate, but he only replied in the evening. "Don't wait for me for dinner. Rest early."

She stared at the message for a moment. Then, she went to the kitchen and took out a thermal container. She and Cindy filled it up with food before she went to the headquarters of Morgan Group.noveldrama

When Lila got out of the car, she caught sight of a familiar figure. She tried to take a closer look, but the person had already gotten into a car and left. Was it Faith?

She didn't dwell on it and continued walking toward the lobby. The day after Frances' death, Morgan Group officially announced that both elders had left their shares to her, making her the company's largest shareholder overnight.

Lila made her way to the top floor without anyone stopping her. She was greeted respectfully by those who recognized her along the way.

When she pushed open the door to the president's office, she found Kieran buried in a mountain of documents. Kieran's usually neat and organized desk was now stacked with countless files.

The overseas markets were in complete chaos. Fortunately, the domestic side remained stable.

Kieran and Cole were surprised to see Lila. Kieran seemed exhausted, but his eyes lit up when he saw her.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat." Lila smiled faintly, trying to lift the mood. She cleared a space on the coffee table and set up the food.

Kieran got up and walked over, while Cole was ready to leave.

"Mr. Mason," Lila called out. "I brought plenty. It's enough for both of you."

Cole hesitated for a moment but didn't refuse. He and Kieran ate quietly with their

heads down. Lila glanced at the message on her phone and frowned.

She asked in the group chat, "Why did Ethan suddenly go over to Matthew's place?"

Jamie answered first, "I don't know the exact reason, but Matthew was injured, so Ethan went to check on him."

Lila's gaze darkened slightly. After a brief silence, she looked at Kieran. "I'll be going to Matthew's place tomorrow. I think something happened."

With the cutleries in his hand, Kieran paused before saying, "Alright, be careful Cole and I will be heading overseas for a few days tomorrow afternoon. We'll be back in three or four days."

Initially, Kieran planned to tell Lila about it at night. Upon hearing that

he was going overseas, she felt

moment before she nodded You

two be careful as well."

After they had finished eating, Lila didn't linger. She only reminded them not to overwork themselves.

That night, she was asleep for a long time when Kieran returned.

Feeling the bed sink slightly beside her, she turned over and hugged him. She

was still groggy as she asked, "Why are you back so late?"

Kieran tucked Lila in before hugging her. His voice was soft, as if afraid to wake her. "Something unexpected came up."

Lila nodded and fell asleep soundly. The next day, she had an early flight. This time, she didn't let Kieran see her off, When she arrived at

Mapleford, she immediately

him a message to let him know she had arrived safely.

He replied quickly. Judging by the time, he had just landed overseas.

Upon seeing Matthew, who was injured, Lila frowned. Ethan was tending to his wounds at the moment. It was obvious that the wounds were from a fight.

Lila's expression turned cold. "Who did this to you?"
