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

Dorian stood frozen, and his face was pale. "I... Lila, I didn't mean it like that. I came to tell you I was wrong and hurt your feelings.

"I couldn't see clearly who really loved me, who truly cared for me. You don't like Zara, and I've already sent her away. She'll never show up in front of you again.

"I also promise I won't even look at another woman again. Will you come back to me? Let's make up. We'll get married right away.

"If you want me to meet your family, I'll go. We'll even visit your parents' graves together. Lila, please come back. Okay?" He took a step forward, reaching out to grab her wrist.noveldrama

Lila quickly stepped back, pulling her hand behind her. Her gaze was as calm as a still lake.

"Lila?" He took another step forward.

"Get away, you scum. Do you think you can simply touch Ms. Hart?" Teddy sprinted over and pushed him away with a single shove.

Dorian staggered back and collapsed onto the ground. In the past few days, he hadn't slept or eaten properly. He had lost weight quickly, looking as weak as a dying patient.

Teddy stared at him in shock, then glanced at his hand.

"Ms. Hart, he's faking it!" He hadn't even used any force!

Dorian propped himself up, weakly coughing several times. His gaze toward Lila was filled with even more grievance. She should feel sorry for him now, right?

However, Lila just pulled Teddy back a step. "Dorian, we've broken up. From now on, whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me. Your matters are no longer my concern."

She then turned to leave while Dorian's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, "I told you: we'll be together for life!"

"You're really crazy!" Teddy was furious.

As he was about to throw a punch, Lila grabbed him tightly. "Don't mind him. If you hit him, you'll have to pay for the injuries."

Dorian's hand trembled slightly. She really didn't care about him at all.

"Lila, you're adopted by the Morgan family. You say Noah is your brother, but now Kieran publicly claims you as his fiancé." As soon as the words left his mouth, Lila's footsteps faltered as he'd expected.

"Let's not even discuss when you two got together. But what do you think they'll say if others discover that your fiancé is someone you've called 'uncle' for years?

"Will they say you've repaid kindness with betrayal and have gotten involved with Kieran? Or will they say the Morgan family, or Kieran, treated youdike a child bride? Or...?" Dorian's words trailed off.

Lila turned around, her gaze turned cold, and the air around her seemed to cool off.

"Are you threatening me?" Lila sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. "You keep using the same old tricks. Do you really think you can do anything to me?

"If your tricks really worked on me, would I still be standing here, talking to you? You have the energy for this, but you should focus on how to improve your acting skills.

Otherwise, you might even lose your superstar status."

Without a second glance at Dorian, whose face had gone even more miserable, Lila walked off with Teddy.

"Lila, I'm not threatening you. I just want you to look back at me. I'm the best choice for you." Dorian quickly caught up. "Don't push me away. My heart really hurts seeing how little you care about me."

This time, it wasn't just Teddy. Even Amelia and the others stepped forward to block his way.

"Can you not understand?" Teddy pulled out Lila's birthday invitation and proudly held it before Dorian's face.

He said, "Look at this. The Morgan family specially prepared this for Ms. Hart's birthday banquet. You're not even qualified to enter!"
