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

Nicole was protecting Lila with her words.

Stefan got up, his posture straight and his demeanor commanding. He had the dignity of the head of the family.

"Nicole, you have lived for so many years. Why are you still so naive? With our identity, feelings can't last long. Now that your company is in crisis, isn't it better to have someone that can bring you benefits?

"You should consider my suggestion. You can give me your answer in a few days." When Stefan was about to leave, he added, "But I don't know if Morgan Group can even survive the next few days."

After that, Stefan left with Faith. Lila turned around and looked at Nicole. Nicole's face was already pale, but now, it was even paler.

"Stefan wants to form marital ties, doesn't he?"

Nicole looked at Lila in shock. She didn't expect the latter to be so smart and guessed it right away.

Lila blinked. "He wants Kieran and Ms. Moore to get married, right?"

Upon hearing that, Nicole was in disbelief. There were two other men in the family, Noah and Bryce, but Stefan didn't mention them. And Lila guessed it right immediately.

The atmosphere turned silent for a short while. Then, Lila said, her voice slightly hoarse, "This is the condition Granduncle Stefan gave to help Morgan Group, right?"

"Lila, don't think about it too much. I didn't agree. Kieran wouldn't agree either. We're a family." Nicole held Lila's hand tightly, trying to comfort the latter.

However, her words were powerless.

Lila nodded and patted Nicole on the back of her hand. "Aunt Nicole, I understand: You need to rest more and recuperate. You don't need to worry about us. I just accepted a new movie. I'll be busy starting tomorrow, so I won't have the time to visit you. You must take your medicine."

Nicole nodded. She was afraid that Lila would overthink and be sad, but she didn't know how to comfort the latter.

It was a good thing that Lila would be busy. At least she wouldn't have the time to think about it if she was busy.

Nicole thought that she and Alfredo had let down Lila and Kieran. How did the situation end up this way?

Lila smiled and turned to leave. But when she stepped out the door, she couldn't help but retch. As she was extremely sad, her body had a reaction, suffocating her.

She and Kieran had just fallen in love with each other. But if she withdrew from the relationship, Morgan Group could overcome the crisis and prevent hundreds of thousand employees from losing their jobs.

Was it worth it?

Lila returned to Vermilion Estate. As always, Nova rubbed her legs. However, she wasn't in the mood to play with it. She returned to the bedroom directly.

She lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. Was there no other way? At 2:00 am, she sent Kieran a message. "Are you still busy?"

Kieran replied quickly, "Why haven't you slept?"

Lila began to type but kept deleting

the words. She repeated this over and over again. Kieran saw that she was typing but didn't send a

message. Was the internet bad or did she have many things to say to him?
