Chapter 241
When Dorian saw the invitation, his eyes turned red with rage and sorrow. He wanted to grab it, but there was no way he could take it from Teddy.
He looked back to Lila and pleaded, “Lila…” He hurried a few steps forward, trying to grab her, but Teddy and Ethan blocked him.
“Mr. Blake, this is a restricted area for the crew. Non-staff members, please step back,” Ethan said calmly.
Dorian would’ve snapped at him back then. But now, he had no time for anything else. He only wanted to beg Lila to come back.
That invitation made him realize that he and Lila seemed to be living in completely different worlds now.
“Lila, I beg you: don’t go. Please look back at me. Didn’t you say you loved me, that we’d be together forever?”
He was helplessly held back, but Lila slowly withdrew her gaze, calmly replying, “That’s all in the past now. There’s no need to bring it up again.”
Her eyes were devoid of emotion and had not even a hint of anger.
Dorian’s heart panicked. It couldn’t be!
How could she be so indifferent toward him? Even hatred would be better than this coldness. His heart felt both empty and painful.
He shouted in rebuttal, “What do you mean? This is between us—our shared memories. Why shouldn’t we talk about it? Lila, we were together for five years. Have you forgotten?”
Dorian tried to push Teddy aside and shouted at Lila, “Lila, don’t go…”
However, she had already turned her back, walking away without a single glance.
Dorian didn’t know when it had happened, but somehow, he had become the one left behind. He
watched her retreating figure, realizing that no matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up to her.
His eyes reddened, and with a desperate lunge, he reached out to grab her, wanting to stop her, but his hand closed on nothing.
A deep sadness filled him. Perhaps he had always been left behind from the start.
Lila’s tolerance and her ability to accommodate made him feel like they were walking side by side, but it gave the impression she was moving ahead now.
He stood dejectedly, watching as the others quickly caught up to her. She was no longer the girl who only revolved around him. Was there really no way to fix this?
The crew began filming, and Lila was busy running around as the director. After leading the main cast through the kickoff ceremony, she finally found a moment to sit down and rest.
It was rare for Amelia to find Lila daydreaming. Having known her for so long, she was either working or studying. This was the first time she had seen Lila lost in thought.
Was she affected by Dorian? Amelia didn’t want to disturb her.
After five years together, it was really a shame how they’d ended up like strangers to each other.
Amelia sat down nearby with a small snack, admiring the image of Lilazin silent contemplation. But not even two minutes had passed before she was interrupted. It wasn’t he that was disturbed, but Lila.
A woman who seemed vaguely familiar approached. She was wearing a shirt and
a skirt. She also had brown, slightly curly long hair and had a professional appearance.
Amelia took a few steps closer, casually eavesdropping on the woman as she spoke.
