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

Lila gave a subtle signal with her eyes. Oh, it was a whole matchmaking event. Amelia was dumbfounded. Jamie was also there, sitting quietly next to Vince. Someone asked, "Has Jamie got a boyfriend yet?" Their son sat nearby as well. Amelia leaned over to Lila and whispered, "Should I call Teddy over to take a look? If that kid doesn't step up, he'll lose her."

It was obvious to everyone who could see the boy's feelings for Jamie.

Vince didn't try to stop it, clearly not intending to marry off his sister for family gain. He glanced over upon hearing the question. "She already has someone she likes."

The person paused and asked, "Which young master is so lucky?"

Amelia walked over, smiling lightly. "You don't know yet? My brother."

The person froze. "When did Ms. Joyce..."

She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly covering her mouth in shock, glancing toward Benjamin. Could Benjamin have an illegitimate child? Wasn't it said that Benjamin and his wife were very close and loving?

Benjamin and Charlotte were left bewildered by their own daughter, exchanging looks that clearly said, "You have an illegitimate child outside?"

"What are you thinking?" Amelia approached the person.

"My mom just introduced me to a godbrother. I haven't had the chance to announce it yet."

Hearing this nonsense, Charlotte felt a twinge of regret for calling her home. She smiled at Lila and whispered, "Should I know this godson she's talking about?"noveldrama

"... You probably do."

Had Teddy's status just skyrocketed in an instant? He always claimed he'd latched onto a big shot, but now it seemed he really had.

As for the matchmaking event, Lila didn't find it particularly interesting and decided to leave. Amelia, who wanted to take the opportunity to leave with her, suggested walking her out.

Charlotte, of course, disagreed. "I'll see Lila off. You stay here."

"No need, I'll just take a taxi," Lila gently declined.

Charlotte shoved the car keys into her hand. "If you're worried about the awkwardness, just take the car. It's safer than a taxi."

Wait, shouldn't Charlotte be more worried about the million-dollar car?

"Otherwise, let me drive you." Lila nodded in thanks, took the keys, and left alone.

When she was near Evergreen Heights, she went on a detour to buy some snacks.

There was a large shopping mall nearby. After finishing her shopping and coming out, she noticed a càr parked a little further away-one that seemed to belong to Kieran.

What was he doing here at this hour? She scanned the area and spotted Kieran sitting at a coffee shop by the water across from a girl in a white dress.

The girl appeared to be around her age, but from a distance, Lila couldn't make

out her features clearly. She looked fresh and clean, like a gardenia.

Lila pursed her lips slightly. So, Kieran was actually out with a girl.

And from Kieran's relaxed posture, it was clear he wasn't in a business meeting. She moved a little closer but could only make out the girl's side profile.

Lila slowly searched her memory, wondering if she'd ever seen this girl and if anyone in her circle resembled her.
