Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 370

Gabriel was unimpressed. He lazily lifted his eyelids, unable to even look at the man's smug face. He was, however, curious. "How did you know Liliana would like a rabbit?"

He remembered that when they were kids, Liliana had always talked about wanting a cat or a dog. They'd even had a Samoyed for a while. Her reasoning was simple: dogs and cats were smart enough to be trained, they were loyal, and they made cute noises that made her happy. Gabriel couldn't figure out how Linton had guessed that a rabbit would be the key to helping her sleep.

Linton's eyes gleamed, and the corner of his mouth tilted up in a self-satisfied smirk. He lifted his sharp, chiseled chin. "That's where you're wrong," he said, unable to resist showing off.

"Back in elementary school, the teachers were told to have each class raise a small animal to teach the kids about love and responsibility. Liliana's teacher chose a rabbit."

Linton paused, his gaze softening as he recalled a pleasant memory, his smile growing more genuine. He could still see it perfectly. The first time Liliana saw that little rabbit in her classroom, her eyes lit up like the brightest stars in the sky, so dazzling you couldn't look away. Her smile was as bright as a crescent moon as she carefully picked up the rabbit, her face radiating a pure, heartfelt joy that he'd never seen when she was with cats or dogs.

From that moment on, Linton understood. The pet Liliana truly wanted was a rabbit. It wasn't that she disliked cats or dogs, but she herself hadn't realized what her heart truly desired.

"Nothing," Gabriel replied, his voice flat. He had never expected Linton to understand Liliana on such a deep level. He had always been prejudiced against the man, convinced that in their relationship, Linton was the one who loved less, the one who had failed his sister's pure, devoted heart. But someone who didn't love her deeply would never have noticed such a small detail, one that even he, her own brother, had missed. A detail that even Liliana herself hadn't realized after all these years.

It was strange.

Gabriel paused, then looked at Linton with cold eyes, his voice dripping with scorn. "So, you knew everything all along, and yet you still did what you did... Linton, you really got what you deserved."
