Chapter 269
“H–honeymoon? Lila hesitated.
Was it necessary for them to have a honeymoon in this arrangement?
Kieran’s gaze fell on her. Lila thought for a moment before nodding. “By then, it should be winter. Let’s go see the snow.
She pressed her lips together, clearly a little nervous,
The man lowered his gaze and smiled faintly. So, Lila could be nervous too.
Kieran was about to speak when he noticed Vince approaching with several items in his hands.
He pointed in the direction of the entrance.
Lila followed his gaze and smiled lightly. “Vince has been coming often recently. He would bring things for Jamie, and there’s always some for us too.
“I think it’s because they haven’t seen each other much over the years, so now that they have the chance, he wants to make up for it as her brother.” Kieran’s e eyes lingered on Lila’s face for a moment, a faint and shallow smile on his lips.
Kieran wondered about the meaning behind her smile.
It wasn’t the land of envy Lila used to feel when she saw other families together.
Since she had lost her closest family at a young age, her heart had always carried a sense of fear and unease.
On the way to pick her up from school, Kieran had noticed her several times standing still, staring at the familles outside the windows
The Morgan family, especially Amelle and Nicole, had given her all their care and attention in those years.
But sometimes, the more care and attention one recelves, the more uneasy one can feel.
Especially when Lila saw the difference in how the Morgan family treated her compared to the two brothers.
When Lila was daring Dorian, she would sometimes share her happiness with the Morgan family. And like Noah, the Morgans thought they were meant to be together.
Even though Dorian had no notable background and was far behind the Morgan family in terms of family status, they didn’t stop the relationship
As long as Lila was happy, the Morgan family could, intentionally or unintentionally, offer him some resources and support
Kieran suddenly remembered that he had arranged for Lila to be involved in the film in which Dorian won Best Actor.
This was also because she could break down the script bit by bit, guiding the team through the process.
On this side, Vince handed the things to Jamie first before bringing over the items to Lila
“Mr. Morgan,” he said first, his tone polite and formal. “Long time no see.”
Kieran gave a slight nod, his gaze falling on the delicately packaged box in his hand.
“This is a little snack I got for Lila. Jamie loves it, and I heard Lila likes it too, so I picked up extra while I was getting some,” Vince said as he handed over the box.
Lila reached out to take it, her smile deepening. “I always benefit from being Jamie’s friend. Thank you!
“You’re welcome. You two continue your conversation. I’ll head over to Jamie.” He nodded at Kieran before turning to leave.
His actions were completely unremarkable, and his kindness toward Lila seemed to stem from the fact that she was a good friend of his sister.
II Kieran hadn’t known that Jamie didn’t enjoy this particular snack, he might have believed Vince had no other intentions toward Lila
Lila liked this snack, but since it was far from Evergreen Heights and often had long lines, she didn’t go often.
Most of the time, Kieran had Cole buy it for her.
He knew Jamie didn’t like it because he had brought the snacks back when Lila was still in Samuel’s film crew.
He thought Lila would share them with her two new colleagues, so he bought an extra one just in case.
That day, coincidentally, both of them were also with Lila, so the four of them are together, and Lila served these snacks as after–meal treats. Jamie only ate a small piece. Lila, worried that she might be too polite, encouraged her to eat more.
