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

When Lila entered the room, she realized Kieran hadn't gone into the water. "Why

didn't you have a dip first?"

He pulled her into an embrace. "I was waiting for you."

Lila pulled Kieran and entered the water. "The room is too stuffy. I can't stay for

long."

In the water, Kieran still hugged Lila. The steam made her long hair wet. She

turned around and said, "I saw that everyone distanced themselves because of

Ms. Clemence's identity. If Noah dates her, will there be issues?"

Kieran's gaze was gentle. "They fear the Clemence family. At the same time, they

want to become the Clemence family.noveldrama

"They fear the Clemence family because they feel guilty. They want to become the

Clemence family because of their power. Morgan Group doesn't need to consider

any of that. So, Mrs. Morgan, stop thinking about all that. Can you think about

me?"

Kieran held Lila's hand and put it into the water. Her back immediately stiffened.

She could feel his warm breath next to her ear.

Noah and Ruby waited in the room for a long time. They had already finished two

fruit plates, but no one came over.

He rested his chin on the side leisurely. "What is Amelia doing?"

Ruby chuckled. "Maybe she's distracted by other friends. I noticed that she was

familiar with many guests attending the party."

"What about Uncle Kieran and Lila?"

Noah hissed and added, "I'll go and have a look."

When Noah had just moved, Ruby grabbed his hand. He turned around and saw

the red mole again.

"What are you doing?" Noah moved backward vigilantly.

Sensing that he was on guard, Ruby was taken aback and sad. She withdrew her

hand and, with her head lowered, took a deep breath. Then, she regained her

composure.

"Even if you retire, you can continue to play games."

"Do you mean I can be like those gaming livestreamers? I'm not interested."

After Ruby distanced herself from Noah, he slowly relaxed. His gaze would

subconsciously land on the mole.

Ruby chuckled. It was rare for her to have a bright expression. "No. Isn't it often

said at competitions that old legends never fade, and the legacy lives on?

"Considering your current net worth,

the club won't spend so much

money to have a player that doesn't

compete. If so, you can establish

your own club and be the coach.

You can train rookies and do what

you like.

"You have been competing for many

years. You understand the

competition system and the game

well isn't training rookies and having

them compete with your

determination meaningful too?"

Noah stared at Ruby's bright smile. He fell into a daze. His chest felt warm. A

while later, he chuckled. "My family wants me to go back and inherit the family

assets."

Ruby smiled. "The Morgan family has a good family tradition. The elders are

reasonable as well. They won't actually intervene with your thoughts, will they?"

"You know our family quite well."

These words had some inexplicable meaning. Ruby sensed it, but she didn't

understand where the unusualness was from. "I can be an investor."

Upon hearing that, Noah looked at Ruby seriously. "Will your family let you do

something related to games? Won't they think you're wasting your time and

money?"

"I don't use my family's money. They can't say anything to me."

Noah facepalmed and remembered

that Ruby wasn't the usual wealthy

woman. Seven years ago, she took a

leap of faith and went abroad alone

to study. Then, she built a

successful business from the

ground up. She was a top graduate

from a world-renowned university.

Ruby had her own business. So, she wasn't joking about the investment.

"Let me think about it." Noah touched his chin.

Ruby smiled. "There's no rush. There's still some time before the international

competition. When you're done and no longer busy, you can slowly think about it."

It was silent for a few seconds. Noah seemed to be deep in thought. "Why are you

helping me? Do you really like this game?"

Ruby had played the game for a very long time, but she wasn't good at it.
