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

The third time Lila celebrated Thanksgiving with the Morgan family, many people came to the house. At that time, she had already moved on from her parents' deaths and became closer to the members of the Morgan family.

Nonetheless, she still didn't like the lively atmosphere. Her elders never took her to attend any parties. In addition to that, to protect her, not many people knew about her identity. When the elders went to the Morgan residence, they would bring their children along for the fun of it.

Since Lila liked to sit in the courtyard and read books, Kieran had someone build a swing in the backyard. That day, to hide from people, she sat in the backyard while Noah and Bryce were forced to sit with the elders in the house. When they came out, the few boys had already pushed Lila.

"You're an illegitimate child without parents. Letting you pick up a ball for me is me doing you a favor." The family of the boy standing at the front owned the biggest business among the rest.

The boys were young, but they had already learned to look down on people. Lila's white skirt was tainted with dirt. She got up silently and grabbed a book from the shelf before hitting them without hesitation.

The boy standing at the front was hit on the forehead by the corner of the book, causing his forehead to bleed. He was enraged and was about to fight back. The rest of the boys hesitated for a moment before making a move.

"How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?"

Lila fell to the ground, her white skirt torn apart. She tried her best to fight back, gritting her teeth and stopping herself from crying. Bryce heard the commotion first. He had always been gentle and mature, but this time, he took action.

"Get lost! How dare you hurt my sister?"

Noah was stronger. He punched two boys and pointed at the rest. "All of you are dead!"

"She started it!" The boy in the lead played the victim.

Bryce carried Lila and snorted. "None of you can escape this."

When Kieran returned, the few boys were reprimanded by their elders in the hall. The Morgan family had always been decent, but this time, no one stopped the elders from reprimanding the boys.

The people wanted to talk to Kieran, but he ignored them and went upstairs. At this time, Lila had showered and changed into a new set of clothes. She was lying on the bed, and her wounds were already treated. Only Bryce was accompanying her in the room.

"Bryce, do kids without parents not deserve to be loved?" Lila leaned on the head of the bed, looking sad.

Bryce raised his hand and caressed her head. "Why would you think that? You're such an adorable girl. The whole world will like you."

While hearing that, Lila looked out the door. Her thoughts were self-evident. Bryce pulled her into an embrace. "Those people aren't considered humans."

Lila raised her head and prevented her tears from falling. Meanwhile, Bryce patted her on the back, comforting her. "Don't worry. I'll protect you forever."

The tears she had held back fell immediately. She looked pretty yet fragile. "Forever?"noveldrama

Even her parents couldn't be with her forever, let alone a brother who wasn't related by blood.

"Yeah."

"When you get married in the future, will you still protect me?"

It was difficult for young people to resist the temptation of words like "forever". Lila

longed for true and lasting love.

Bryce put her on the bed carefully and tucked her in. "Lila, not everyone will get married. So, don't worry, and have a good night's rest. I'll protect you forever. I mean it."

Kieran didn't enter the room. Instead, he went downstairs. He had the guests return home. A while later, the guests' businesses announced bankruptcy one after another.

Later, Kieran noticed that Lila treated

Bryce differently. Before Bryce, she appeared to be more gentle and easily satisfied. Actually, when Kieran learned that Lila and Dorian were dating, Kieran was surprised.
