Seeing that Lila didn’t respond, Nicole let out a small sigh. The opportunity for a closer family tie was lost. Was there no man in the Morgan family who could win this young lady’s heart?
She glanced at Kieran and couldn’t help but sighagain. For the first time, she felt a little sorry for him.
In order to secure this marriage, he had promised Frances and Amelie that he would kneel at the Morgan residence for three days afterward.
It wasn’t that Nicole didn’t want him to marry het, but she knew that he was cold–hearted, and she feared that if his heart weren’t truly with Lila, going through with this engagement and marriage would only cause Lila more pain.
In the end, after all the effort, Lila still had no feelings for him

I’m willing.”
Kieran looked at the back of her head, his expression unchanged, but his hand tightened unconsciously. He clearly felt his nervousness during the brief moment she hesitated.

He was concerned that she might feel cold walking barefoot on the floor, so he had always laid down carpets for her.

After lunch, Amelie and Nicole didn’t stay. Once they left, the living room fell silent again.
Lila nervously fiddled with her fingers, thinking about discussing their situation with Kieran. But before she could, Noah rushed in

“I was about to beat Dorian up–that jerk. He wasn’t there when I got to his company, so I rushed over here.
“Lila, you really are something. Something this big happens, and you don’t say a word!
