too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 324

Kieran lowered his gaze, took the small fork she handed him, and took a bite of the cake, nodding in approval.

The two of them went to a nearby stadium. Due to the cold weather, there weren't many people around, but a group of teenagers were energetically running on the basketball court, dressed in short sleeves and shorts.

Lila and Kieran were both dressed in casual home clothes.

Lila had her hair tied in a high ponytail, looking youthful and full of energy, like a college student who had yet to graduate. She wasn't good at sports, and badminton was the only sport she could manage a few decent shots in out of the many she was bad at.

As for Kieran, she could only admire how impressive everything he did was.

He excelled in the unpredictable business world; the kitchen was his domain, and even badminton—a sport she had never seen him play—seemed effortless for him.

Lila couldn't keep up with the shuttlecock. After a short while, she felt defeated.

"I give up. I'll just be honest and admit defeat." She slumped onto the bench, a few beads of sweat on her nose.

"Take a break. I'll get you some water, and we can try again in a bit." Kieran's voice was smooth and warm.

She nodded, sitting on the bench, her eyes gleaming as she watched the teenagers playing basketball nearby.

They were full of energy. Suddenly, she remembered what Amelia had said before—when looking for a partner, avoid older men and go for someone younger. These bright and energetic young men were indeed very attractive.

She turned her head to look at Kieran in the distance, but mature men like him seemed to have an endless charm.

She didn't even realize that she was unconsciously leaning toward him. She also didn't notice that the basketball was rolling toward her, so she was startled when it hit her foot.

A tall and slender young man with a handsome face ran over.

Lila bent down to pick up the ball and returned it to him. She wore a smile, and her eyes were bright and clear.

"Is this yours?"
