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

Hearing Kieran's words, those in the room wore various expressions.

Faith lowered her gaze, determination shining in her eyes.

Daughters were never inferior to sons.

Andy glanced at her, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

Wishful thinking.

Dennis, naturally, picked up on the coldness in Kieran's words. He remained

composed but was furious on the inside.

How dare this young man speak to him that way?

But what puzzled him more was—hadn't Kieran firmly rejected the idea of an

arranged marriage before? Why was he now speaking up for that worthless

Faith?

Kieran was not the kind of man to be swayed by sentimentality.

Could it be...

Dennis calculated in his mind. Had the two of them grown close after spending

time together?

With that thought, a smile quickly returned to his face.

"Of course, there's no such law. Faith is intelligent and obedient. She's far less

troublesome than this brat. I've also been considering training her as my

successor."

Faith's still lowered eyes were filled with mockery.

Kieran's gaze remained cold, making Dennis shift his focus back to the main

topic. "Andy, why are you still standing there? Have you forgotten what I told you

before we came? And your own promise? Hurry up and apologize to Kieran!"noveldrama

Andy jolted, then stepped forward. The smug look he had shown Faith earlier was

now completely gone.

"Kieran, I was an idiot that day. You don't know—those guys I was with were

acting recklessly, and I got irritated. When I saw Lila, I lost my temper. Please, I

hope you'll forgive me for the sake of the friendship between our families and our

business partnership.

"I know you wanted Grandpa to come that day, but you also know he's old and

can't endure all that travel. If it'll make you feel better, I'll do anything. I'll even

serve you coffee and water for the rest of our collaboration."

He had already prepared an excuse before coming. Lying was effortless for him.

Everyone in the Moore family knew

that Kieran wouldn't believe him, but

surely, he wouldn't completely

disregard their family's dignity?

Faith glanced at Kieran, wondering how he would respond.

"Let Mr. Moore Senior come instead," Kieran said, his tone indifferent.

Andy's face lit up. This meant that he was still considering their families'

relationship.

But before he could speak, Kieran's

cold voice sounded again. "But

you're apologizing to the wrong

person."

The three men from the Moore family froze. They first looked at Kieran, then at

Faith.

Faith lifted her gaze slightly. "Go apologize to Lila."

As expected, all three of them frowned in unison.

Apologize? To a woman they didn't even respect?

"Kieran, do you really think this is appropriate?" Dennis was no longer smiling.

Kieran raised an eyebrow, his aura turning increasingly dangerous.

"What? Is my wife not worthy of an apology from the Moore family's son?"

With his indifferent gaze fixed on

him, Andy felt a chill down his spine

and unconsciously took a step back.

Kieran casually picked up his coat, saying, "I have things to do. Make yourselves

comfortable."

With that, he ignored everyone and walked out.

Cole followed him, while Faith hesitated for a second before following as well.

She had only taken two steps when Dennis called out, "Faith, I have something to

say to you."
