MainNovelKieran pulled Lila into his arms and sat on the couch with her on his lap.
"Stop messing around, I'm being serious," she said.
He could catch the faint jasmine scent on her without lowering his head. He calmly answered her question,
"She's been conditioned for so many years not to love Faith. That mindset is ingrained in her. A fleeting moment
of clarity isn't enough to change her heart."
Lila felt ticklish as his breath brushed against her neck, so she leaned away slightly. After thinking over his
words, she sighed. "Then forget it. | can tell Ms. Moore is trying hard to break free from her family. If Mrs. Moore
did hand over the shares, it might shake her resolve and cause her even more pain."
Kieran chuckled, admiration shining in his eyes. "Sometimes, it's best to cut ties cleanly."
His warm breath landed just behind her ear.
"Enough, let's eat first," she said.
She slapped his wandering hand and straightened her clothes before getting up to sit across him.
Kieran laughed, his gaze burning with something intense, but he still obediently accepted the food she handed
him.
After dinner, Lila saw that it was still early and figured she should head to Taylor's place to study. But just as she
was about to leave, Kieran grabbed her wrist.
"What tdid you arrange to meet Mr. Foster?" Kieran asked.
"3:00 pm." Lila hummed.

He glanced at the time. It wasn't even 1:00 pm, and the drive from Morgan Group to Taylor's house would only
take 20 minutes.
Just as Lila was about to ask what was wrong, she was suddenly lifted into the air.
Instinctively, Lila wrapped her arms around his neck.
Kieran carried her into the bedroom inside his office, gently placing her on the bed.
"You... there's not enough time," she protested.
As she pushed against his chest, Kieran swallowed, and a chuckle escaped his throat.
"What are you thinking?" His fingers twirled a strand of her hair.
Lila looked up and met his teasing gaze.
"| just wanted you to take a short rest. Doesn't Mrs. Morgan want a nap?" Kieran grinned.
Without a word, she kicked off her shoes, rolled under the covers, buried herself under the blanket like
a child throwing a tant et
"I do want to rest. Good night, Mr. Morgan," she mumbled into the blanket.
Hearing his chuckle, she yanked the blanket higher, covering her ears.
Just as she was about to tell him off, she suddenly felt the bed dip behind her. Then, a pair of arms wrapped
around her.
"Can | hold Mrs. Morgan while we sleep?" Kieran whispered.
She grumbled. "You already are, so what's the point of asking?"
She couldn't remember clearly, but she had a feeling Kieran had done this to her many times before. She didn't
say anything else, enjoying the quiet, peaceful moment between them.
As she drifted off to sleep, she promised to remember all the beautiful moments they had shared.
She was startled awake by a sudden

Kieran assured her, "It's okay, it's just rain."
There were often thunderstorms during this season.
