too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 321

Before Amelia asked the question, Lila hadn't noticed anything odd, but she realized something was off once it was brought up.

As the head of the Morgan Group's business empire, Kieran should have been wielding power in the corporate world. Instead, he was cooking dinner for them.

"Mr. Morgan is cooking for us? I swear, if I told anyone, they wouldn't believe it." Amelia marveled.

The others had nearly the same reaction. Vince looked toward the kitchen, then glanced down at his own hands.

Lila paused momentarily and said, "You guys have fun for a bit. I'll go see if I can help with anything."

She didn't know how to cook, but washing and chopping vegetables shouldn't be too difficult.

When she approached, Kieran glanced up at her. He had taken off his coat but still wore his white shirt and suit pants, looking less like someone cooking and more like someone commanding the world in his own domain.

"Why aren't you with your friends?"

Upon hearing him, Lila stepped further into the kitchen. "I came to help."

She noticed him raise an eyebrow and quickly pointed to a potato on the cutting board. "Should I slice it or cube it?"

He didn't refuse. He handed her a small apron and naturally tied it around her waist. "I'll leave it to you, Chef Lila. Can you slice it for a scalloped potato dish?"

His low, pleasant voice swirled in her ears, distracting her and making her thoughts spin.

She nodded confidently, took the knife, and thought it would be simple. However, no matter how she sliced, the pieces turned out uneven.

Looking at the thick and thin potato slices, she felt a bit guilty. While Kieran wasn't paying attention, she picked out the thicker pieces and carefully sliced them in half, then divided them into quarters when it didn't feel right.

He turned back to glance at her, his voice carrying a smile. "They're all so thick. Are you planning to make stone pillars out of them?"

Just a simple joke made Lila's ears turn red.
