Chapter 257
Kieran looked down at Lila, his gaze deep like an endless void, hiding emotions that were impossible to read
Lila didn’t know who the girl in Kieran’s heart was and didn’t have the right to ask.
But whoever she was, she shouldn’t delay things between them.
Lila knew the best she could do was minimize the impact on Kieran.
Even if they got married, she would try to arrange as much work for herself over the next year as possible to limit their time living together.
That way, explaining things to the other girl wouldn’t be so difficult.
Their marriage would be nothing but a formality.
Kieran gently ruffled her soft hair.
Lila was sitting with her forehead resting against his body. It felt strange. Just a moment ago, she had felt like driftwood lost at sea
Yet, with Kieran’s comforting touch, she felt like she had found her place
She only realized the change in her emotions afterward, catching her off guard.
It wasn’t good to develop any sense of dependence.
Quickly sitting up straight, Lila tried to speak casually “Uncle Kieran, do you have any other better solutions?”
With his intelligence, he would definitely have a solution
Kieran met her eyes, and his fingers twitched.
He thought that he was heartless
In that instant, he felt a pang of guilt for deceiving ber
He wanted to confess that he had loved her for a long time and had planned this marriage opportunity,
He had sworn in the Morgan Family’s ancestral hall that he would never let her down.
“Uncle Kieran?”
Noticing his brief distraction, Lila called out to him.
Kieran snapped back to reality, offering her a faint smile. His demeanor remained composed as ever.
“Don’t overthink it. I’ll handle everything ”
Though he didn’t directly answer Lila’s question, hearing his deep voice somehow calmed her.
Her filming would come to an end three months later.
Would they really be getting married by then?
A waiter approached and politely said, “Ms. Hart, someone is looking for you.”
She stood up and smiled at Kieran “It’s probably Jamie and the others. I’ll go hang out with them for a bit.
“I see there are still people waiting for you, so you can go ahead. I’ll find you later.”
Lila did her best to keep her tone upbeat, hiding her worries deep inside.
Kieran could see her anxiety, so he did his best to offer her the greatest comfort.
If it really couldn’t work..
“Go ahead. Come find me if you’re tired, and I’ll take you back,” he said indulgently, gently patting her head.
Lila looked at him, feeling a bit more at ease
Kieran was so capable, so surely he had a plan. She just needed to wait patiently. His decisions wouldn’t be wrong
She smiled and walked toward the direction the waiter had indicated.
However, no one was there when she reached the area.
She glanced back at the water confusedly.
The waiter also seemed puzzled. “Sorry, they were just here. Maybe it was some kind of prank?”
Lila looked around and asked, “What did the person look like?”
“It was a man, about this tall.” The walter gestured. “He was wearing a black suit, with a very thin face–looked like he might be malnourished.”
“How was his mobility?” Lila furrowed her brows.
She glanced around but didn’t spot anyone who matched her suspicions.
The waiter shook his head. “I didn’t notice that. He was just standing there.”
Lila nodded. “It’s probably some prank. You can go ahead with your work.”
