Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 315

“Mrs. Grayson, let’s go.”

“...To the Grayson estate.”

...

The Grayson’s villa had stood empty ever since Matthew’s passing.

Mrs. Grayson was, at her core, a woman of immense pride.

Born into a wealthy and influential family, she had been one of Crownport’s most celebrated debutantes before her marriage. She was the woman countless heirs pursued, the quintessential girl-next-door that so many dreamed of, their idealized first love.

In her youth, Mrs. Grayson had been the ultimate trendsetter for Crownport’s high society. Whatever she did, others imitated. Whatever she wore, others followed.

She certainly had the credentials to back up her pride.

And yet, this woman, who had been raised with such dignity and pride, had been cheated on by her husband.

He had not only betrayed their marriage but had also fathered an illegitimate child.

How could Mrs. Grayson possibly endure that?

It was a resounding slap in the face, a public humiliation that took all her pride and dignity, threw it on the ground, and trampled it into the mud until it was unrecognizable.

Secrets rarely stay secret for long.

When Matthew’s father, Raymond Grayson, had his affair and produced an illegitimate son, whispers inevitably spread through Crownport’s elite circles.

For a time, Mrs. Grayson became the subject of gossip over afternoon tea.

Those who had long envied her finally had their chance to mock and sneer.

How could she bear it?

In that moment, all her pride and dignity seemed to turn to ash.

Ironically, though it was Mr. Grayson who had the affair, it was Mrs. Grayson who bore the brunt of the public’s ridicule and pity.

People wouldn’t talk about what Mr. Grayson had done. They would only say, “Poor Mrs. Grayson, her husband is running around with another woman.”

It was as if Mr. Grayson had vanished from the narrative, while the innocent woman he had hurt was left to be roasted over the fires of public opinion.

That was why, despite Mrs. Grayson’s contempt for him, he had never hated this tragic woman.

For years, both Liam and Mrs. Grayson had, in their own unspoken ways, hated the same person.

The true culprit in this broken marriage, the man who had faded into the background in the eyes of the world—

Raymond Grayson.

Mrs. Grayson led Liliana back to the Grayson estate.

After discovering Mr. Grayson’s infidelity, she had moved out in a rage, separating from him immediately. Shamed and unable to face his wife and son, Mr. Grayson had also moved out.

The sprawling villa became empty and desolate, stripped of the warmth of a family and a home.

From then on, only one person had lived there.

A lonely child left behind in the silent house, waiting day after day for his parents to come home—

Matthew.
