Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 278

Someone mumbled their dissent. “What’s so great about a handsome younger guy? I still think a gentle man like Mr. Grant is a better match for Miss Hart.”

Another person shook their head with a knowing click of the tongue. “You just don’t get it. Younger guys are all the rage now—obedient, clingy, and sweet.”

“Exactly! Miss Hart is rich, beautiful, and successful. What’s wrong with her having a boy toy?”

“But what about Mr. Grant?”

“Oh... Mr. Grant... well... come on! We’re all adults here. Why can’t she have both?”

More employees gathered, whispering amongst themselves as they watched the handsome young man outside Liliana’s office. The gossip session quickly escalated into a heated debate, with people starting to take sides.

“So immature,” someone who wasn’t impressed muttered.

“What’s immature about it?” Suddenly, a clear, gentle voice cut through the chatter.

The gossiping employees froze, nearly jumping out of their skin in fright. Busted for slacking off at work. They turned around nervously, and sure enough, Aiden was standing right behind them, a pleasant smile on his face. He didn’t seem angry, maintaining his usual gentle demeanor.

“Shouldn’t you all be getting back to work?”

“Oh, yes! Work! Right away!” Seeing that he wasn’t going to reprimand them, the group of gossipers quickly dispersed back to their desks.

Aiden watched them go with a smile, then paused before slowly turning his gaze to the handsome young man standing by Liliana’s door. He narrowed his eyes slightly and strode over, his own smile becoming a little thinner.

“Why are you here? Do you have an appointment?”

Aiden, “...”

Liam smirked, turning his head to look at her. He blinked innocently. “That could work.”

Liliana blinked back. “Uh, I was just kidding...”

“Let’s play then,” Aiden suddenly said with a gentle smile, a glint in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. “I was just getting an itch to play anyway.”

Liliana stared. “...???”

Seriously? What was wrong with them?!
