Chapter 598

The rest of the night was a blur. Kieran frowned and checked his phone. There was a message from Landon. "Kieran, did you and Lila get home safely?" So, it was Lila who brought him back. A quick glance at his call log confirmed she had called from the night before. He replied to Landon, whose reply came almost instantly. "Seriously, you waited till morning to let me know you're home? Why didn't you wait until I died of worry before telling me?" Kieran ignored his friend's dramatics and quietly slipped out of bed. After a quick wash up, he headed downstairs. In the living room, a bouquet lay on the coffee table—purple tulips, their petals already withered, mixed with lisianthus blooms. Lila's favorites. His gaze darkened. Had someone else given them to her? Without a word, he swept the flowers into the trash, then tossed something on top to cover them from view. Skipping breakfast, he left for the office. But he made sure to have Cindy prepare breakfast for Lila before he went.
