Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 460

“Little one, are you lost?”

A tall, imposing figure suddenly appeared in front of Amelia. His voice was as cool as ice, yet carried a hint of hoarseness.

Amelia let out a hiccup between sobs and looked up through her tear-blurred vision. She saw a man wearing a thick black mask and a black baseball cap, his face almost entirely hidden except for a pair of striking, almond-shaped eyes.

She stared into his eyes, momentarily mesmerized, and even forgot to cry.

“W-who are you?”

Amelia didn’t know why, but even though her mother had repeatedly warned her to be wary of strangers and never talk to them, she felt no fear toward this mysterious man. Instead, she felt an instinctive sense of closeness, an inexplicable urge to be near him.

Her lower lip trembled, and she looked up at him with teary eyes, her voice small and sad.

“Mis-mister… *hic*, Amelia… Amelia has to go potty, but… but I’m lost. Can you help me?”

The man looked down at her, his dark, profound gaze softening with a pang of heartache as he saw her tear-streaked face.

After a long moment of silence, he bent his long legs and slowly crouched down, bringing his eyes level with hers. His cool voice, now laced with a surprising gentleness, was raspy as he spoke.

“Okay. I’ll take you to the restroom, and then I’ll help you find your mommy.”

Hearing this, Amelia quickly wiped away her tears, her crying turning into a relieved smile. “Thank you, mister! You’re so nice!”

The man lowered his gaze, not responding. After a long hesitation, he slowly extended a large, calloused hand toward her, his arm trembling slightly.

He seemed nervous, his deep eyes swirling with complex emotions, his whole body tense.
