Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 124

"Did you know," Liam began, "that two months before my brother's accident, Isabella secretly had all her legal documents transferred from the Cooper family back to the Rowe family?"

Liliana was stunned. That was something she definitely hadn't known. Isabella's legal guardianship had been transferred to Old Mr. Cooper when he brought her into the family as a child.

"Eleanor Cooper helped her do it. The old man never knew," Liam continued, his fingers tapping as he waited at a red light. A lazy smirk played on his lips. "Don't you find that strange?"

"It is a bit strange," Liliana admitted, her expression puzzled. "But is that the only reason you suspect her?"

"Not entirely. It's more of a gut feeling. I have no proof," Liam said, his eyelids drooping lazily, his confidence unshaken by the lack of evidence.

Liliana fell silent. She could almost understand. Liam glanced at her, his eyes glinting. "My brother was terrified of extreme sports. He was never good at them," he said in a low voice. "And before she married him, Isabella never showed any particular interest in them either. But after the wedding, she suddenly became obsessed and constantly nagged my brother to join her. Don't you think that's odd?"

The more he spoke, the more plausible it seemed. Liliana had never thought about it that way before, but now that Liam had pointed it out, she too felt a growing sense of unease. "It is strange," she conceded. "It feels almost... premeditated?"

"But what would be her motive?" Liliana still couldn't figure it out.

Liam just smiled without explaining. "We're here."

Liliana followed his gaze. He had brought her to one of Crownport's most famous restaurants.

"Come on, dinner's on me." Liam leaned over, his fingers deftly unbuckling her seatbelt. His hair brushed against her cheek, the sensation sending a shiver through her.

She frowned, a strange feeling stirring within her, and tried to pull away again, but Liam was already out of the car, opening her door for her. His eyes were intense, and his lazy voice held a knowing smile as he bowed with exaggerated chivalry. "After you, Miss Hart. I promise tonight will be unforgettable."
