MainNovelChapter 96
Dorian caught up in another elevator just in tto hear Kieran's final question, followed by the door closing
behind him.
With a dark expression, he was about to knock when his phone rang. It was Zara calling, and for the first time, he
hesitated to answer.
That said, he remembered that he had left Zara waiting at Magi Pictures to inquire why the other party had
suddenly backed out.
If she was calling now, perhaps she had already met with someone.
When he answered, Zara's excited voice cthrough. "Dorian, | finally met the person in charge! But he's
leaving for a business trip tomorrow, so | can only talk to him tonight. I've booked a restaurant, and he's already
here waiting. You should hurry over!"
He raised his head and glanced darkly toward Lila's room, hesitating momentarily before leaving.
He reassured himself that she always had a good relationship with Noah. And since Lila liked Dorian so much,
she wouldn't move on so quickly.
He would let Noah enjoy his moment of triumph for now.

Meanwhile, Zara was sitting in front of the person in charge of Magi Pictures, feeling exceptionally pleased with
herself.
If Lila could handle this kind of collaboration, she could too.
Kieran casually sat across from Lila. Her face lit up with satisfaction as she ate her food. "This is so delicious! |
haven't eaten from this place in ages, and it still tastes just as good."
With a cheerful smile, she picked up a small piece of dessert and held it out to him. "Let's put the whole weight
management thing on hold for tonight."
As he smiled helplessly, his gaze drifted to the ring box on the table beside them.
It was a couple's ring set from LovingBird.
He lowered his gaze slightly, emotions swirling in his eyes like ink.
This wasn't something Lila had bought herself, but given her nature, she wouldn't usually accept gifts from
others either.
Thinking Kieran might refuse, Lila quickly pushed the dessert closer. "Just take a bite."
What seemed like an ordinary request struck Kieran like a cat's tender and irresistibly sweet meow.
She reminded him of a delicate little cake as he looked at her fair, rosy cheeks and bright, clear eyes.
He turned his gaze back down and ate the treat she offered.
Feeling his soft lips brush against her fingers, Lila almost jumped. The memory of being embraced and kissed
passionately by Kieran that night flooded her heart like a tidal wave.
Yet, he seemed oblivious to any awkwardness his actions caused. He remarked in a casual tone, "It really does
taste good."
Lila abruptly cback to her senses, lowering her gaze to suppress those overwhelming memories.
Stumbling over her words, she replied, "I-It's delicious, so I'll have smore."
She realized what she had just said as a light chuckle escaped Kieran.
"I meant that we should both eat more. If we don't have enough tonight, I'll buy
you swhen | finish work and return to the city."
After she finished speaking, the amusement in his eyes deepened.
She closed her eyes and chose to remain silent.

He hardly needed her to be a gopher.
After finishing the late-night snack, Kieran didn't linger, as if he hadn't driven for nearly two hours to bring her
this meal-which he definitely did.
As Lila saw him off downstairs, she pondered momentarily and asked, "Uncle Kieran, did you cancel the
collaboration between Magi Pictures and Dorian for my sake?"
He was just fastening his seatbelt when he looked up at her, his expression unchanged. "You've broken up with
him. Morgan Group will stop supporting him, but that doesn't mean we're out to get him.
"We have our own principles when doing things. The cancellation was simply due to a normal evaluation by the
person in charge; it has nothing to do with you or me."
After he spoke, she noticeably relaxed, but her gaze remained downcast. "Uncle Kieran, I'm really sorry for
asking you for help before."
He chuckled lightly. "Lila, I'm happy you ctoand the Morgan family for help. Doesn't that mean we've
truly beca family in your heart?"
She looked up suddenly, her eyes sparkling and eyelids glistening with unshed tears.
Kieran's gaze fell on her porcelain-like face, and his expression was as gentle as the hazy moonlight. "You're still
young and may not be able to discern what's truly worth your time. That's not your fault.
"But it's also precisely because you're young that you have the freedom to make mistakes, and that won't stop
you from reaching greater heights."
