Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 193

Without a second thought, Liliana kicked out at him.

Her beautiful eyes blazed with fury as she gritted her teeth. “Linton!”

“Don’t push your luck. I’m already being as nice as I can.”

Linton lowered his gaze to her and smiled. “Then just think of me as a sunflower, okay? I thrive on all that niceness.”Liliana choked on her words.”

She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and held out her hand, her voice tight. “Give me back my phone!”

The call had just ended. Gabriel was done with him.

Judging by the dark, frustrated look on Linton’s face, it hadn't been a pleasant conversation.

Liliana snatched her phone back and shot him a cold look before turning away. “Gabriel, what did you say to him?”

Gabriel’s voice was surprisingly calm. “Nothing much.”

“...Just told him to crawl back to wherever he came from and stay the hell away.”

Liliana gave him a mental thumbs-up. “Thanks, brother. Well said.”

That was why they were siblings.

Perfectly in sync.

Her brother had spoken her mind.

After hanging up, she turned back to the man sitting obediently behind her.

“The person my brother sent is arriving tomorrow morning. I’m sleeping in the guest room tonight. Stay away from me.”

Linton frowned deeply, making one last attempt. “Liliana, can’t you just tell him not to come? I can take care of you.”

“Really? I doubt it.”

Liliana tapped at her phone, replying to messages without looking up, her clear voice icy. “I’d sooner believe pigs can fly than trust a word you say.”

Linton fell silent.

Undeterred, he opened his mouth to say more.

But Liliana had heard enough. She stood up and walked towards the guest room upstairs, not looking back, not sparing him another word.

Linton’s eyes suddenly turned red.

He sat there alone, his crimson eyes fixed on Liliana’s retreating figure. He looked pitiful, like a large dog abandoned by its owner.

She turned around fully, her gaze calm, clear, and utterly cold. “I will never, ever let the baby know who its biological father is.”

“Because... you don’t deserve it.”

Linton’s dark pupils contracted violently.

The pain was so sharp he instinctively clutched his chest, wishing he could rip his own heart out.

He would have laid it at her feet, begging humbly for her forgiveness.

Liliana watched him calmly, deciding to lay everything bare.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, “When I first found out I was pregnant, I was going to get an abortion.”

“Because I thought it would be too cruel to the baby, to bring it into the world without a father.”

She looked up at him, her voice as light as a feather. “The baby couldn't choose whether or not to be born. I had to make that choice for it.”

“Do you know why I changed my mind? Why I decided to keep the baby?”

A chill ran down Linton's spine as he listened to her soft, steady voice.

His lips parted, his body trembling. He guessed at a possible reason, and a wave of panic and fear washed over his eyes.
