Chapter 261
Kieran didn’t get his desired answer, so he stubbornly asked again.
The forgotten memories because unusually clear at this moment,
It turned out it wasn’t just his wild thoughts or extreme fantasies,
Lila’s lips tightened in nervousness as she watched him, hesitating to speak
“Uncle Kieran, you must have mistaken someone else for me. I don’t blame you.”
She firmly believed that they had no romantic connection. Kieran was a man of discipline and restraint, and he would never casually engage in ambiguous relationships with womICL
The only explanation was that he had mistaken someone else for her.
Could it be that the person he liked resembled Lila?
Lila suddenly felt a headache. What kind of strange “substitute” situation was this?
She scratched her head. “Well, sh, let’s just go shower first. Right, go shower first, and I’ll make you a hangover soup.‘
Kieran was pushed inside, and he glanced back at the entrance with a frown.
Lila helped him up the stairs, and when they reached the corner, he stopped, pulling her to a halt as well.
“Lila.” He planed her against the handrail, his arms enclosing her. “Even though I didn’t have a proper engagement banquet for you, to outsiders, we’ve already been engaged and are about to marry,”
Lila swallowed nervously. She nodded while thinking of a way to escape from his arms.
Before she could crouch down, the man pulled her backup.
“Be good,” he said, pulling her back into his embrace. “Morgan Group’s shares are already yours. Once you’re done with your work, let’s choose a wedding house, shall we?
Lila was dumbfounded.
Seeing her widened eyes, the man’s gaze softened with a tender smile. “Which location do you like? I don’t have much to give as a wedding gift, but I can give you 10% of Morgan Group shares. Would that be okay?”
His voice was deep, with a gentle warmth that almost seemed hypnotic.
Lila blinked, trying to make sense of what he was saying
Wedding house? Wedding gift? Shares?
Initially, Frances had already given her a substantial portion of the shares, and now, with an additional 10%, she would become the Morgan Group’s largest shareholder!
“Uncle Kieran, I…”
“Lila, say my name,” he murmured, resting his forehead against her shoulder.
He was definitely drunk
“You’ll forget what you said when you wake up tomorrow.” Lila gently parted his back, worried that he might be uncomfortable.
“Don’t say such strange things.”
“If the girl you like hears it, she’ll be upset.”
The last sentence was so faint that Kieran didn’t catch It.
“Hmm?” He looked at Lila’s flushed face. His gaze suddenly froze
“What’s wrong” Lile noticed his expression and immediately became anxious
Kieran was capable and caring, and the girl he liked should have no reason not to be with him.
But why weren’t they together?
Lila was startled by the thought that followed. What if this girl was no longer alive?
If that were the case, the suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Kleran,
In this world, the most painful thing was being separated from the person you loved by death.
At least there was still hope with parting Only death was insurmountable.
Inder words at now hurt him?
Lila took a deep breath, half–embraced him, and gently conforted him, “Uncle Kieran, it’s okay. Just go shower and take a nap, and tomorrow, everything will be fine.”
Surprised by her sudden display of intimacy, Kieran felt a stir in his heart and forgot what he was going to say.
