Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 327

A sharp *crack* echoed through the room.

Liliana had slapped him, hard.

She’d put her full strength into it. Her face was cold, emotionless as she sneered, “Don’t touch me.”

The slap left a small, red handprint on Linton’s pale skin. It stung fiercely, the area quickly swelling.

He didn't get angry. He simply ran his tongue over the inside of his swollen cheek, his cool, handsome features softening into a smile as he leaned in and whispered, “Please, Liliana, does your hand hurt?”

“If it hurts, let me do it for you. You need to let off some steam.”

Before Liliana could even respond, Linton raised his own hand and slapped himself across the face, just as hard.

Another sharp *crack*.

Now, the other side of his face was also red and swollen, bearing a large handprint that was comically mismatched with the smaller one on the other cheek.

Liliana stared.

She was completely stunned.

She knew Linton could be a mad dog, but she never imagined he was...

He was completely unhinged.

Liliana felt a strange sense of awe.

It seemed...

This man’s love-addled brain was even worse than hers.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips, rolling her eyes in disbelief. It was almost too embarrassing to watch.

At least she would never slap herself just to appease a man who was determined to leave her.

That was just unnecessary.

Liliana subtly pulled her hand back from where Linton was gripping it tightly.

Liliana cringed.

She nearly broke out in goosebumps. She frowned in disgust. “You disgust me.”

Linton didn't get offended. In fact, the more she insulted him, the happier he seemed. It was almost as if her scolding was a thrill for him, sending a tingle down his spine.

He even started humming a little tune as he coaxed her. “Alright, I’ll dial it back later. But first, you need to eat. How about it?”

Liliana pursed her lips, about to refuse.

Linton cut her off, his cool voice dropping to a low, husky laugh. “If you don’t eat, I’ll have to feed you myself.”

Liliana shivered.

A cold dread washed over her. She knew this shameless man was more than capable of forcing the issue.

Her face remained impassive as she said softly, “Get away from me.”
