Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 470

Linton fell silent, his heart pounding. But he understood exactly what she meant, because he felt that same inexplicable connection, too.

Just like moments ago. The instant Liliana had walked in, his heart had begun to race uncontrollably, beating so fiercely he thought it would burst from his chest.

His eyes were red-rimmed. After a long pause, he reached up with a trembling hand. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly pulled the thick mask from his face. His voice was hoarse with guilt. “I’m sorry.”

“I didn’t mean to. I was just… scared.”

“Shh.” Liliana placed a finger on his cool lips, her eyes crinkling with a smile. “We’re past the point of apologies. We were both at fault back then, so let’s not assign blame.”

She paused, carefully studying the handsome face that was so deeply etched in her memory. She couldn’t help but sigh. “We’re two of a kind, a perfect disaster for each other. A pair of hopeless romantics who should be locked away so we don’t go out and wreck anyone else’s life.”

“All this time, going in circles… thinking back now, it was all so childish. So many things we fought about were completely unnecessary.”

Liliana had matured a great deal over the years. She had started to see things from Linton’s perspective, and in doing so, she discovered something—he had fallen in love with her far earlier than she had ever imagined. She had just been too young at the time to notice, always feeling that his love for her wasn’t enough.

She was filled with regret. Is a lifetime really that long? Decades can feel like the blink of an eye. They had wasted so much time, stubbornly hurting each other over trivial matters. If they loved each other so much, why couldn't they have cherished their time together more?

Liliana regretted not understanding this sooner. But she was also incredibly grateful that Linton hadn’t really died, that it wasn’t too late to make things right.

It had been the first real relationship for both of them. They were each other’s first love, and neither had ever considered being with anyone else. They had stumbled and grown together, and they both still had much to learn—like how to truly love someone. Then, they could continue to grow up, together, becoming more mature and better people, to spend the rest of their lives side by side.

Liliana gazed at Linton’s familiar, handsome face, and her eyes softened with a deep, hidden affection. She smiled. “Linton, welcome home.”

“Let’s start over. My name is Liliana, and my interests include… hmm, liking Linton?”
