Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 421

Liliana looked at Linton, her expression flat. Her delicate, fair face showed no sign of anger.

Her tone was just as neutral, devoid of any emotion. "Go wait over there until we're done eating."

Linton was taken aback.

Then, a corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly smiled. He was surprisingly content.

At least Liliana hadn't thrown him out immediately.

The fact that she was willing to let him stay and wait for leftovers was a concession to the holiday spirit; she didn't want to make a scene.

Mrs. Hart, however, felt a bit awkward.

She was an elder, and like Gabriel, she had seen how Linton had treated Liliana recently.

She stood up with a smile, intending to lead Linton over to the table. "Oh, Liliana, it's Christmas's Eve," she coaxed gently. "Since Linton is already here, let's just have him join us. We have plenty of room and an extra set of plates."

"Come on, Linton, you can sit with Gabriel."

Mrs. Hart felt a little guilty as she lowered her head to hand Linton a plate and utensils.

Liliana maintained her smile, her voice laced with confusion. "How strange. Didn't Gabriel say he invited him to take care of the leftovers? Why would he sit at the table? Does he even deserve to?"

Liliana was already trying her best to control her temper.

She wasn't shouting; she was speaking softly. Judging by her smiling face, one might think she was welcoming a guest.

But her words…

They were like daggers to the heart, dripping with sarcasm.

Linton felt speechless.

A dull ache spread through his chest, and his already pale, weary face grew even more haggard.

His tall, imposing figure seemed to sway slightly.
