Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 157

Linton left once again.

Back in her hotel room, Liliana tossed his suit jacket into the trash.

Her emotional state had been deteriorating again lately.

Lying on the bed with a blank expression, she thought for a moment before finally calling Aiden.

“Aiden, after this conference is over, you should head back home. I think I’ll stay abroad for a few days, do some traveling.”

Aiden paused, his voice filled with concern. “Liliana, is something wrong? You don’t sound okay.”

“Are you at the hotel? I can come over.”

“No, that’s alright, Aiden.”

Liliana took a deep breath. “I just want to be alone for a few days.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m an adult; I can take care of myself.”

Since Liliana had put it that way, Aiden didn’t press the matter further.

He just smiled gently and said, “Alright. Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll head back first.”

“Have a good time abroad. I’ll look after things at the company, so you don’t have to worry. Come back whenever you’re ready.”

“Thank you, Aiden.”

Liliana took another sharp breath, a sudden soreness welling up in her nose. “I’ll treat you to a big dinner when I get back.”

“Then I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Aiden chuckled, gave her a few more reminders, and then hung up.

Liliana stared wearily at the ceiling.

It was two in the afternoon.

After some thought, Liliana began to compose a message.

She was going to announce the end of her engagement to Linton.

She saved the drafted announcement to her drafts folder.

Liliana checked it over and over again, until she was certain there were no issues. Then, she slowly moved her delicate fingertip towards the send button.

Once she pressed it, there would be no going back.

[This has to be fake, right? Is Miss Hart just throwing another tantrum, trying to get the Cooper family’s heir to grovel a bit?]

[I don’t know, this seems pretty extreme for a tantrum. A public announcement breaking the engagement? It’s probably real.]

[No way. Isn’t Liliana completely obsessed with him? People say she’s madly in love with Mr. Cooper. Would she really be willing to break it off?]

...

The speculation was wild, but most people weren’t taking it seriously.

Netizens figured this was just another one of Liliana’s impulsive fits, and they were all waiting for the punchline.

Just wait, they thought. In a few days, after Linton has appeased Miss Hart, she’ll definitely delete this post.

Liliana skimmed the comments but paid them no mind.

She didn’t need to explain herself. Time would prove everything.

The online commotion didn’t last long.

Five minutes after Liliana’s post went up, the topic that had shot to the top of the trending list vanished without a trace.
