too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 46

It seemed Kieran was regaining his senses. He frowned as he glanced at their positions.

After a moment, he slowly set Lila down.

Lila pressed herself against the wall, her feet finally on the ground, which gave her a sense of reality.

"Uncle Kieran, are you awake now?"

His gaze was intense, and she could see his Adam's apple move sensually as he spoke.

"I've had a few too many drinks, but I'm not totally wasted yet," he replied casually.

Lila was dumbfounded.

How was he doing all that while he was awake?

He buried his face in her neck, inhaling her unique, alluring scent.

Lila pushed him away, torn between fearing he wasn't fully conscious and worrying he was.

"Uncle Kieran?"

Kieran's breathing evened out—he had fallen asleep.

The room fell silent.

Lila was frantic. She threw a mock punch at the air, channeling her frustration into a bit of pad exercise.

She took a deep breath, mustered all her strength to get him onto the sofa, and then poured him warm water.

She immediately messaged Cole. "Cole, if Uncle Kieran gets drunk again, please inform me in advance."

Cole was puzzled. "What's going on? Is Mr. Morgan acting silly?

"That shouldn't be. He rarely gets drunk, and even when he does, he's usually well-mannered."

Lila replied, "...... Yeah, he's great."

Lila wasn't all that great, though!

If it were someone else, she would suspect that they were deliberately acting drunk to take advantage of her.

She would have hit him with a club long ago.

But this was Kieran. Countless people would compete to offer themselves if he wanted a woman.
