Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 417

With Chrismas just around the corner, New Year's was only several days away.

Liliana was now heavily pregnant, with less than a month until her due date.

The entire Hart family was on high alert, the atmosphere at home tense and cautious, terrified she might accidentally bump into something.

Liliana found all the protection both amusing and exasperating. "Mom, you guys are being way too dramatic," she grumbled softly.

"Other pregnant women aren't treated like this. It's just the last month, and I'm home all day. What could possibly happen?"

Her daughter's impending delivery had Mrs. Hart so stressed that she had a cold sore on her lip.

She frowned, glancing at Liliana with a serious expression. "How can you be so careless?"

"We're in the home stretch. Shouldn't we be even more careful?"

Liliana just touched her nose and said nothing in response.

She stood on the balcony, one hand on her lower back and the other resting gently on her protruding belly. Peeking through the curtains at the world outside, she frowned slightly.

"Mom," Liliana said, a hint of confusion in her voice, "have you noticed that there are more security guards around our house lately?"

They patrolled the grounds day and night, forming a tight perimeter around the Hart villa. Anyone who didn't know better would think royalty was living inside.

It was a bit much.

Mrs. Hart was puzzled too, but she didn't dwell on it. "Oh, your brother hired them."

"He's always so worried about you, acting like he has some kind of persecution complex. He's constantly on edge, and having these guards around is the only thing that sets his mind at ease."

They weren't just any guards; they were professional international bodyguards typically hired to protect high-profile individuals and sensitive assets.

Gabriel had also strictly forbidden them from ordering takeout or receiving online shopping deliveries—anything to minimize contact with outsiders entering the villa.
