too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 239

Lila knew she'd been through tough times, but Dorian's first question stunned her for a second.

Amelia, who usually had a good temper, started feeling angry. "This is her matter. Whether she tells you is her right. What gives you the right to criticize her?"

Dorian glanced at her coldly. "Ms. Joyce, this is between me and Lila. It has nothing to do with you."

Amelia stood up straight, her expression serious, and her aura shifted. "Lila and I are friends. Her business is my business."

Upon seeing Amelia riled up, Lila gently pinched her arm to comfort her. "I can handle this. You go help over there." Amelia wanted to refuse, but Lila added, "I'll be over in ten minutes."

With Lila insisting, Amelia had no choice but to leave, though she kept glancing back as she walked.

She then called over Ethan, Teddy, and Jamie. The four of them didn't do anything; they stood not far away, watching Dorian like hawks.

"If that bastard makes a scene, Teddy, you go over and take him down with one kick," Amelia whispered.

Teddy nodded, but they couldn't hear Lila and Dorian's words because they were standing a bit far off.

Dorian lowered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Lila, I'm not questioning you. It's just that after being together for so many years, there's so much about you that I didn't know.

"Lately, I've even started to doubt if you really loved me. Why would you hide so many things from me if you did?"

Lila always thought she could face Dorian and everything related to him with complete indifference. However, upon hearing these words, she couldn't help but feel a surge of confusion. Her head was full of questions.

"If the Morgan family really adopted you, why does your household registration only list you?" Dorian tried to keep his composure.

He still felt that his logic made perfect sense. This was such an important matter; Lila should have told him personally!

However, she didn't say anything. Was it because she was afraid that if he knew the Morgan family backed her, he might want to take advantage of her? If that were the case, how could she have any real feelings for him after all these years?

Lila saw through his thoughts and found them even more absurd. She took a step back. "Whether I'm adopted by the Morgan family, what does that have to do with our relationship?

"Are you saying that if I tell you, you'll stop being ambiguous with other women? So what exactly do you want? Me, or the fact that I'm the Morgan family's adopted daughter?

"Dorian, does my identity really matter that much? Don't you already know whether I love you?"
