Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 214

He was very busy back then. Ever since middle school, he had always been busy.

Liliana never knew what he was so busy with. He was often gone, and sometimes when he returned, he would have fresh injuries.

In any case, she had been deeply touched that Linton could find the time to learn piano with her on the weekends.

They often played four-hand duets.

At school concerts, at home, on the streets, in the squares.

They had created so many memories, uniquely theirs, in every romantic place they could find.

But when did they gradually stop playing together? And when did she gradually stop playing alone?

Her slender fingers paused on the keys as she looked out the window.

The sky outside was bright, the sunlight a little dazzling.

A warm glow fell upon her, enveloping her in a soft, hazy halo.

Liliana squinted slightly, unable to help but think that her relationship with Linton had perhaps started out pure and beautiful.

But as the years passed and they grew up, their pure connection began to be tainted by the impurities of reality, becoming murky and turbulent.

They began to argue.

Endless arguments, and in the heat of those fights, they both started to forget the initial beauty.

The beautiful cocoon never hatched a butterfly. Instead, it festered and released a parasite, devouring all the wonderful memories.

Liliana returned to the present, her expression calm as she lowered her eyes. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips as her slender fingers once again pressed the keys, releasing a beautiful melody.

So, it was better this way.

A parasite could never transform into a butterfly.

Perhaps her relationship with Linton had been a mistake from the very beginning.

It was no surprise that it ended up like this.

In the mall, Helena spotted a soft pink baby carriage, her eyes lighting up as she said excitedly, "Liliana, let's get this for the baby! Isn't it beautiful?"

Liliana glanced over, but before she could speak, Helena turned and saw a pink crib nearby. "Let's get this too!" she said, just as thrilled. "It's gorgeous, perfect for the baby."

"And this, and this, and this... Wow, I must be too excited. I feel like a kid in a candy store, I want to buy everything I see for her!"

Liliana couldn't help but laugh. "The baby's only three months along, we don't need to rush to buy everything."

"Let's just get some clothes for today, maybe a few toys."

As Liliana picked through items and headed to the checkout, she couldn't resist another glance at the baby carriage Helena had first pointed out.

It was a lovely soft pink. Putting the baby in it, she would look just like a little princess.

Liliana’s warm fingers gently stroking her slightly rounded belly.

She imagined her baby's adorable face, and a tender smile bloomed on her lips.
