Chapter 239
Lila knew she’d been through tough times, but Dorian’s first question turned her for a second.
Amelia, who usually had a good temper, started feeling angry. “This is her matter. Whether she tells you is her right. What gives you the right to criticize her? Dorian glanced at her coldly. “Ms. Joyce, this is between me and 1ila. It has nothing to do with you.”
Amelia stood up straight, her expression serious, and her aura shifted. “Lila and I are friends. Her business is my business.”
Upon seeing Amelia tiled up, Lila gently pinched her arm to comfort her. “I can handle this. You go help over there.” Amella wanted to refuse, but Lila added, “Fil be over in temininutes.”
With Lila insisting, Amelia had no choice but to leave, though she kept glancing back as she walked.
She then called over Ethan, Teddy, and Jamie. The four of them didn’t do anything; they stood not far away, watching Dorian like hawks.
“It that bastard makes a scene, Teddy, you go over and take him down with one Idek” Amelia whispered.
Teddy nodded, but they couldn’t hear Lila and Dorian’s words because they were standing a bit far off.
Dorian lowered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved. “Lila, I’m not questioning you. It’s just that after being together for so many years, there’s so much about you that I didn’t know.
“Lately, I’ve even started to doubt it you really loved me. Why would you hide so many things from me if you did?”
Lila always thought she could face Dorian and everything related to him with complete indifference. However, upon hearing these words, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of contusion. Her head was full of questions,
“You think I’ve been hiding things from you?”
She never directly mentioned it, but she had said many times that Noah was her brother and that they had known each other for many years, yet Dorian never
believed her
Lila found it quite ridiculous. “Didn’t I ask you more than once to meet my family? But Dorian, do you remember how you answered?”
Dorian visibly stittened, his face turning pale.
It was true that Lila had brought it up several times. His initial reaction was that her parents were gone, so meeting her other relatives didn’t seem necessary.
Later, as he grew closer to Zara, he lost any desire to meet her other family members. He even told Zara that Lila was just an orphan, so why did he have to meet her other family?
He sneered, saying that if the Morgan family had really adopted her, why did her household registration only list her alone? He mocked her, calling her naive.
“If the Morgan family really adopted you, why does your household registration only list you?” Dorian tried to keep his composure.
He still felt that his logic made perfect sense. This was such an important matter; Lila should have told him personally!
However, she didn’t say anything. Was it because she was afraid that if he knew the Morgan family backed her, he might want to take advantage of her? If that were the case, how could she have any real feelings for him after all these years?
Lila saw through his thoughts and found them even more absurd. She took a step back. “Whether I’m adopted by the Morgan family, what does that have to do with our relationship?
“Are you saying that if I tell you, you’ll stop being ambiguous with other women? So what exactly do you want? Me, or the fact that I’m the Morgan family’s adopted daughter?
“Dorian, does my identity really matter that much? Don’t you already low whether I love you?”
