Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 367

Logan spoke, his eyes slowly reddening. He sniffed, then suddenly let out a sob and began to cry.

Rubbing his eyes, he sniffled with hurt and sadness, stammering out,

“Waaah... Sister Liliana, I'm... I'm sorry.”

“I know now Mom lied to me. Dad wasn't hidden by you—he just went far away.”

“Grandma said Dad went on a business trip to a place very, very far away. He might not come back until I'm grown up. Sister Liliana, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know Mom was lying...”

Logan wept bitterly, his longing for Matthew overwhelming.

Earlier, deceived by Isabella, the three-year-old child hadn't understood.

He truly believed Dad had abandoned him and Mom because he hated him and had fallen for another woman, and that Liliana was deliberately hiding him.

Later, Isabella coaxed him daily, using Matthew's name and the guise of love, urging Logan to call Linton “Dad” to spite Liliana.

Liliana froze for a moment, watching Logan cry with such heartbreaking sorrow. She hurried over to hug him, her feelings inevitably tangled.

“Ah...”

Liliana sighed softly, helplessly.

Well, he was only three. He didn't understand anything. He just missed his dad so much and had been led astray.

Liliana stroked Logan's fuzzy little head, soothing him with a gentle voice.

“There, there, Logan. No more crying. Come on, sis will get you a snack. Or would you like to pet the little bunny?”

Liliana picked up Clover and placed her in Logan's arms to comfort him.

Logan sniffed, his eyes red from crying, and wrapped his arms around Clover's warm, fluffy little body.

He sniffled a few times, blinked his eyes, and whimpered guiltily.

“Sis... Sister Liliana...”

His face flushed crimson as he hung his head, filled with shame and regret, explaining everything honestly.

“Sister Liliana, Uncle Linton actually stressed many times that I shouldn't keep upsetting you or call him Dad—that it wasn't right.”

“But my mom said that if Uncle Linton refused me, I should cry and fuss with him, tell him I missed my dad. As long as I mentioned Dad, Uncle Linton would soften out of respect for my father.”

Logan didn't quite grasp what Isabella was saying.

He'd listened with a hazy understanding, knowing only that his mother loved him most after his father, that her words were never wrong, that she wouldn't deceive him.

Logan didn't understand, but he obediently followed Isabella's instructions.

Besides, when Logan had called Linton “Dad” before, it had indeed been partly out of spite.

He believed Isabella's words—that Matthew had been tricked away by that wicked woman Liliana, and that it was because of Liliana that he wasn't allowed to be with his mom.

So as compensation, just like Mom said, calling Dad's friend “Dad” to spite Liliana—that was okay, right?
