Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 199

Liam drove Liliana to a small, private apartment.

On the way, Liliana rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window as she asked, “What did my brother tell you?”

Liam glanced at her in the rearview mirror, his eyes lingering on the cool, distant expression on her exquisite face.

Liliana had been born with beautiful, captivating eyes.

They were always glistening, so even when she was looking at you with a cold expression, it created the illusion of deep affection, drawing you in until you were completely lost.

Liam's eyes narrowed slightly. He licked his teeth, a thoughtful smile playing on his lips.

From the first moment he saw her as a child, he had been utterly obsessed with those soulful, enchanting eyes.

If he could, he would gladly drown in them.

Liam paused, then answered truthfully, “Your brother told me to take good care of you while you’re here.”

“Things are a mess in Crownport right now. A lot of people have their eyes on you. With the pregnancy, it’s not safe for you to go back.”

Liliana frowned.

There it was again. The same vague explanation.

She didn’t understand.

What kind of monsters were running loose in Crownport that she couldn’t even go home?

She turned to him, her expression cool. “Why? Who would be watching me for no reason?”

Liam’s voice was a lazy drawl. “You know Damian Cooper is back.”

“The Cooper family... he’s in charge now.”

“The first thing he did upon his return was to throw Crownport into chaos.”

Liliana’s eyes flickered, her frown deepening. She knew that Crownport’s elite families were always simmering with tension, each vying for power, all wanting to be on top.

Linton’s presence had kept them in check, but that didn’t mean they weren't coveting the Cooper family’s position.

They were all just waiting for an opportunity.

She quickly put the pieces together and rolled her eyes, annoyed.

“So, I’m in danger not because of something I did, but because Linton won’t leave me alone? Is that it?”

Liam was pleased she had figured it out so quickly. He squinted contentedly. “Yes, that’s exactly it.”

He paused, deciding to add more fuel to the fire. He continued with a low laugh, “If the Cooper family’s heir would just let you go, you wouldn’t be in any danger at all.”

“And Isabella... hasn’t she been targeting you all these years because of him?”

“Now she’s disappeared with Logan, hiding somewhere abroad, probably plotting her next move against you from some dark corner.”

“All of this... isn’t it because of Linton?”

Liam’s eyes glinted, his magnetic voice a seductive whisper, like a devil on her shoulder, slowly and carefully leading her to his conclusion.

“My dear Liliana, he’s your personal catastrophe.”

“Meeting him was the worst luck you could have. You’d be much better off without him.”
