Chapter 95
Lila raised her hand to press her forehead. "I'm really tired and need to rest."
After a moment, she continued, "Dorian, you've invested a lot of resources and effort into Zara these past two
years, haven't you?"
Dorian looked puzzled, not understanding why she would suddenly bring Zara up. It felt like Zara had becan
insurmountable barrier between them.
"Why is it that you go all out for someone you haven't seen in years, yet all you say is 'please forgive me' every
day when it comes to me? You broke your promise, so why should | forgive you?"
Lila intended to highlight the disparity in his treatment of them, questioning how he could still claim to love her.
Lila lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes shadowing a clear expression of mockery. "I've long been disappointed
in you and won't look back."
Dorian froze for a moment. His confusion dissipated and was soon replaced by shock. Did she really think he was
unwilling to spend money on her?

"Lila, all my money is yours if you just forgive me. Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
He pulled out the ring box from earlier and held it out to her. "Oh, and this. It's not very valuable, but I'll give it to
you first."
Seeing her frown slightly and show no intention of taking it, he simply shoved it into her hands.
After a pause, he added, "Lila, | know | haven't given you much materially, but | thought you'd care more about
my love for you rather than these superficial things, right?"
Lila couldn't help but laugh.
She hadn't been entirely clear in what she had said, so it didn't really matter if he misunderstood. But his words
were outright ridiculous.
In the past, she believed that love alone could sustain a relationship, but what good was that?
"| did care about your love more than anything back then, but what did that get me?"
Watching her lips curl with clear mockery, Dorian pressed his lips together, and his gaze lowered as if lost in
thought.
Lila did not want to continue the conversation. "Dorian, your love is worthless. Stop bothering me."
After saying that, she walked past him and opened the door to her room.
Having just washed her face, she heard someone knocking and assumed it was Dorian trying to pester her again.
Frowning, she opened the door and snapped, "Can't you just leave?"
But as soon as she looked up, her words were caught in her throat.
The person at the door was dressed in a fitted black suit, accentuating his tall frand slim waist. His facial
features were clean-cut, and his initially cold and indifferent air softened slightly when he raised an eyebrow.
A hint of a smile flickered in his eyes, adding a warmth reminiscent of moonlight.
"U-Uncle Kieran," Lila stuttered, her face instantly flushed. She had unintentionally taken out her frustration on
Kieran.

Kieran raised an eyebrow. "Who are you sulking with?"
Though he asked that, he had seen Dorian leaving in his car as he cupstairs earlier.
Lila didn't want to discuss that topic. It was rare for Kieran to have free time, and there was no need to bring up
unhappy matters.
"Have you eaten?"
He followed her into the room before placing the late-night snack he had brought on the table.
Just as the door closed, Dorian, who had already left, reappeared around the corner, his expression ominous and
frightening.
Pulling his car out of the hotel just now, he saw the black Maybach stopping at the hotel entrance in his rearview
mirror. He didn't see the license plate or who got out, but he firmly believed that it was Noah.
He quickly re-entered, just in tto see the elevator doors close. The figure inside was unmistakable. Dorian
recognized him at a glance, having seen him twice before.
The elevator ultimately stopped on Lila's floor.
