NovelGoldLila sensed the subtle shift in Kieran's mood. She blinked in surprise before smiling gently. "Why would you askthat, Kieran?" In her last relationship, she had given her all and had always been the one chasing and sacrificing. But with Kieran, the roles had reversed—she was the one being taken care of.
Looking back, nearly a year had passed, and so much had happened. But through it all, Kieran had treated her well. Maybe that was why she had recovered so quickly.
Lila tightened her grip on his hand, walking with a light step down the mountain. "You're a really great guy, Kieran. And I'm really happy with you." Without saying a word, he looked at her profile.

Kieran, on the other hand, was swamped with work. For several nights in a row, by the the got home, Lila was already fast asleep. In her sleep, she would vaguely feel his arms around her, but by morning, he was already gone.
Something felt... off. Ever since they had returned from the hike, things hadn't felt right. And it was starting to mess with her head.

Maybe he's worried he won't have the energy to satisfy you." Lila nearly choked on her water.

Unfortunately, Amelia wasn't done.
Amelia: "Why aren't you replying?" Amelia: "Con, don't pretend you didn't see it. I know you did. Why don't you just get him ssupplements?" Amelia: "He's almost 30! You gotta take care of him so he can still be useful." Before she could continue with her nonsense, Lila hastily replied, "I'll talk to you later. I'm busy right now." Lila had Cindy prepare lunch and headed to Morgan Group, planning to bring Kieran food and figure out what was going on. When she arrived, the receptionist seemed surprised to see her there. "What brings you here, Madam?" "Is Kieran not in?" Lila asked.
"Mr. Morgan left on a business trip this morning. You... didn't know?" Lila truly did not know that. But instead of showing her surprise, she played it off smoothly. "Oh, right... think he mentioned it a few days ago must ve slipped my mind Thanks for lettingknow. With that, she turned and walked out, carrying the lunch she had brought with her.
