Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 349

Liliana felt sluggish and had little desire to go downstairs, so she simply had Martha bring her meals up every day.

At first, Martha was a nervous wreck, terrified that Liliana would discover Linton was the one cooking. But after three days passed without any reaction from her—she just ate her meals on time as usual—Martha began to relax and didn't dwell on it.

Linton hadn't been idle these past few days either.

Since Liliana didn't want him in the nursery and she rarely left her room, he took the opportunity to secretly buy baby supplies and toys every so often. He would then find inconspicuous corners in the already-decorated nursery and tuck them away, trying to blend them in.

In just three short days, the nursery had accumulated quite a few new items. Linton had filled every hard-to-find corner to the brim, and it was becoming difficult to hide everything.

Standing in the nursery, Linton looked at the fruits of his labor. A complex light flickered in his deep, narrow eyes, and he frowned, his face serious.

Linton was still unsatisfied. He felt it was far from enough. There was no limit to what he wanted to buy for Liliana and the baby; no matter how much he bought, it always felt inadequate, as if he were shortchanging them.

A sense of regret filled Linton's heart. He let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling sad and lost.

If only he could openly and proudly buy things for Liliana and the baby.

But alas...

He stopped himself.

There was no 'alas'.

Linton slowly lowered his gaze, about to turn and leave the nursery.

But as he turned, his eyes unexpectedly met Liliana's clear, bright ones, giving him a terrible shock.

Linton's scalp tingled with fear.

The hair on his body stood on end. Terrified that Liliana would notice something was amiss, he quickly used his tall frame to block her view and forced a smile, his voice betraying his guilt.

"Take this. I forgot to give it to you last time."

The sharp edge of the diamond grazed Linton's handsome face, immediately drawing a line of blood. It wasn't a serious cut, but it stung, and beads of blood started to well up.

Linton sucked in a sharp breath. He heard the crisp sound of something falling to the floor.

A soft thud.

He instinctively looked down and saw the pink diamond necklace he had bought for her at a high price at the auction.

Linton's eye twitched violently. His lips tightened into a thin line, and his expression suddenly became one of immense pain. His voice trembled as he said, "Liliana..."

"Was that really necessary? It was a gift..."

Liliana cut him off with a cold laugh. "Take it!"
