Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 466

But for all his careful planning, he had failed to account for one thing: the depth of his love for Liliana.

The overwhelming sense of longing and desire, so intense it felt like his chest would explode, had thrown all his subsequent plans into chaos. The moment his injuries had healed, he’d rushed back to the country, back to Crownport, back to Liliana’s side, where he had been silently watching over her from the shadows.

For the past year, Linton had lived cautiously in Crownport, terrified of being discovered by her.

His thoughts returned to the present. Linton’s brow furrowed, a sudden, baseless agitation rising within him. He reached for the pack of cigarettes on the table, tapped one out, and lit it.

He was silent for a long moment.

Linton propped his long legs up on the coffee table, one arm draped lazily over the back of the sofa, the other holding the lit cigarette. He took a deep drag, exhaling a cloud of smoke that blurred the dark, brooding expression on his handsome face, making him impossible to read.

Lucas had been about to leave quietly when, suddenly, Linton’s deep, almond-shaped eyes narrowed. His voice was cold and ambiguous as he asked, “Where is she going for this blind date?”

***

Liliana drove to the blind date by herself.

Honestly, she hadn’t wanted to come, but she couldn’t withstand Mrs. Hart’s relentless nagging.

Mrs. Hart’s exact words were, “I can’t bear the thought of Amelia being teased by other children for not having a father.”

“Even if it’s not for yourself, you have to go on this date for your daughter’s sake. If it doesn’t work out, you can at least try dating Liam.”

Liliana was so worn down by her lectures—her ears had been ringing with them for the past two years—that she finally gave in and forced herself to go.
