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

The organizer couldn't tell if Kieran wanted the gift, but he figured that if it managed to win Lila's favor, he would likely stop holding this against him.

Of course, the key was actually getting it to her.

Luck seemed to be on his side as two girls happened to walk by and glanced

over.

One of them quietly said, "This doll is so cute."

"That's this brand's limited-edition doll for the year! It's super popular! I wanted to buy one but couldn't get it, and now it's marked up at double the price."

Their conversation faded as they walked away, and the organizer's face lit up.

"Mr. Morgan, don't worry. Your wife will definitely love this doll. It's also my way of wishing you a happy marriage."

Kieran's eyelashes fluttered slightly, his voice soft. "Cole, take it with you."

The organizer beamed with joy as though he had received the gift himself.

...

When Kieran returned to Evergreen Heights, the sky had just begun to darken. The lights in the living room were on, indicating that Lila had already come home.

He stepped out of the car, walked a few steps, then turned back. He grabbed the doll box before heading into the house.

Lila was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, engrossed in a game. Lately, she had been obsessed with a building game on her phone, arranging little ancient-style houses with elegant designs.

She noticed Kieran approaching and smiled. "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet."

He had come back specifically to have dinner with her.

"Well, good. Carol made something before she left, and I've been waiting for you to come back so we can eat together."

Although she usually waited for him to eat, today was their first dinner after marriage.

For a moment, it felt like they had been married for years, and this simple, peaceful, sweet time together was their new normal.

"What's this?" Lila put down her phone and noticed the beautiful box in his hand.

"Open it and see."

She curiously took it from him, and her eyes lit up.noveldrama

Seeing her reaction, Kieran's lips curved slightly, silently praising the organizer for sending the doll.

Lila was delighted as she held it. "Uncle Kieran, where did you get such a beautiful and cute doll? I saw this before, and it looked like a limited edition. How did you get your hands on it?"

Kieran answered honestly, "A brand sent it today as a gift, wishing us a happy marriage."

His tone was as calm as usual.

But Lila felt confused. She could understand each word, but they didn't make sense together.

Even the doll in her hands seemed to grow hot.

She stiffened and turned her head. "I'm hungry. Let's eat first."

She quickly put the doll back in the box.

"You don't like it?" Kieran glanced at her as she moved.

"I really like it. It's super cute. I'll put it on my desk later," she quickly

answered, adding a few extra.ne

to avoid seeming dismissive or awkward.

She then went to the kitchen. During dinner, she acted like a quiet little quail.

But as she glanced at Kieran's hand holding the utensils, her thoughts wandered.

His skin was fair, with faint veins visible

joints.

Amelia had said that Kieran looked very capable in bed.

These hands alone could showcase his strength.

Kieran looked up and saw her staring at his hand. A smile tugged at the corners of his eyes. "Lila, tonight..."

"We're not sleeping together tonight."

Lila spoke before thinking, only realizing what she'd said after the words left her mouth.

Kieran paused for a moment before letting out a soft laugh.
