Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 263

Liliana couldn't help but turn to look at him.

"Just say what you want to say."

Liam smiled, bringing the tray over and placing it in front of her. "Want some?"

Liliana lowered her eyes to look.

Her lips parted, just as she was about to speak. "I..."

Liam suddenly pulled the tray back.

He turned and switched on the bedroom light.

With a click, the dim, cool room was once again bathed in warm, bright light.

Liliana's eyes had already adjusted to the darkness, and the sudden brightness was jarring.

She instinctively raised a slender, pale arm to shield her eyes, her brow furrowing slightly. "You..."

Liam bent down and casually picked up a movie case from the floor, holding it between his long fingers as he smiled at her.

"Just eating is boring. It's too dry. Why don't we watch a movie?"

Liliana's gaze fell on the case.

Written on it was—

*Flipped*.

A classic romance about childhood sweethearts.

Liliana used to love pestering Linton to watch it with her. ...

But then again...

Their housekeeper had found a number of movie cases while cleaning the room earlier.

Liliana slowly rose to her feet.

With one hand on her lower back and the other supporting her belly, she jutted her delicate chin toward another case. "I want to watch that one."

Liam followed her gaze, his eyes raising in a slight arch.

*La La Land*.

A deeply sad film.

Watching it always left one with a lingering sense of melancholy.

Liliana kept her eyes downcast, her expression seemingly focused.

Liam turned his head, his eyes fixed on her.

As the movie reached its end, with the main characters having found peace in their separate lives, the sorrowful background music began to play.

Just as he was about to get up and turn on the lights, Liliana spoke.

"Wait."

Her voice was soft, but it stopped him in his tracks.

Liam paused, instinctively looking back at her.

The room was too dark for him to make out her expression, to see if she had been crying.

Liliana's beautiful face serene.

After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "Which movie do you think has a better ending?"

One was a fairytale, a happy ending for everyone.

The other was the world of adults, a realistic ending filled with regret that left a bittersweet ache.
