Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 436

Liliana didn't get a chance to speak.

Linton's gaze fell, a self-deprecating smile touching his lips. His voice was hoarse with pain. "Liliana, I get it... I really do."

"Don't worry, I won't crash the baby's party and bother you two. I know my place."

Liliana pursed her lips, holding the baby without a word.

They walked to the hospital entrance in silence.

Linton pulled his coat up to cover half his face. His chest ached. He didn't want to leave Liliana and the baby, but he had no reason to overstay his welcome.

Liliana moved to get into the car with the baby.

Amelia Hart had been sleeping peacefully in her arms, but as Liliana settled her into the car, the familiar, comforting presence she was used to vanished.

The baby's little mouth trembled, her brow furrowed, and she began to wave her tiny fists, letting out a heart-wrenching wail.

Her cries filled the air.

Startled, Liliana quickly looked down, rocking her gently. "Amelia, what's wrong? Mommy's here. It's okay, don't cry."

Mrs. Hart leaned in. She had plenty of experience with this sort of thing. "Liliana, she probably misses Linton," she said quickly. "Babies are very sensitive to their surroundings. He's been with her since she was born, so she's used to his scent. She's probably scared now that he's not here."

Liliana fell silent.

Hearing this, her expression flickered, and she frowned deeply.

She looked down at Amelia Hart, who was still struggling and crying in her arms. A wry smile touched her lips as she muttered to herself.

"You really are his daughter. Just like him... you're both the cross I have to bear."

There was a self-mocking tone in her voice. In truth, she was heartbroken. After everything she'd gone through to bring this baby into the world, it felt like Linton had swooped in and reaped all the rewards.

He'd only taken care of her for a month, and already the baby couldn't be without him. Here she was, in her own mother's arms, crying for her father.
