Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 420

Untying her apron, she called out with a cheerful smile, "Liliana, Gabriel, come on! Dinner's ready!"

Gabriel, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, slowly looked up. He glanced thoughtfully toward the entryway, pursed his lips, and said nothing as he rose and walked to the dining table.

Liliana sat next to Mrs. Hart, helping her pour wine and juice. For the first time in a while, the festive atmosphere had brought a touch of joy to the young woman's delicate, melancholic face, and she seemed a bit happier.

Everyone tacitly understood that they hadn't truly moved on from Matthew's death.

Especially Liliana.

But they all maintained a silent agreement not to speak of it, as if letting time slowly bury the sorrow deep within their hearts was the only way forward.

Liliana carefully eased herself into her chair, supporting her belly, and was just about to pick up her utensils.

Suddenly.

*Ding-dong.*

The doorbell at the entrance rang.

Liliana froze for a second, her eyes widening in surprise. "It's Christmas's Eve. Who would be visiting at this hour?"

Gabriel stood up, his expression calm. "I'll get it."

Liliana looked at him, her brow furrowing in suspicion. A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes.

"Gabriel, did you invite someone? Do you know who it is?" she asked instinctively.

Gabriel's tone was unsurprised, as if he had been expecting the visitor all along.

Liliana and Mrs. Hart exchanged a puzzled glance.

Who could it be, acting so mysteriously?

"Liliana…"

Suddenly.
