Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 440

A lonely life, loving from afar—that was his price.

Linton's lips twisted into a faint, ironic smirk. "He's done so many disgusting things. Every extra day he lives is a gift."

"And he still has to answer for Matthew Grayson's life."

Lucas said no more. After a few seconds of silence, he replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Cooper. I understand."

"There's one more thing. The matter you asked me to investigate earlier… I have news."

Linton's dark eyes narrowed sharply. "Speak," he commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.

He seemed anxious. The hand holding the phone trembled slightly, a mix of anticipation and fear. His sharp, handsome face was clouded with an unreadable expression.

Lucas paused for a moment before reporting, "The party is in Solmere City. They'd like to meet with you in person."

"Mr. Cooper, I've already booked you a flight to Solmere City for this afternoon. If you wish, you can head to the airport now. There's enough time."

Lucas, ever the hyper-efficient executive assistant, always handled things flawlessly, which was why Linton trusted him so completely. Having worked for Linton for so many years and handled his affairs in secret, Lucas knew more of his secrets than anyone.

Linton's sharp brows furrowed. If he went to Solmere City for this meeting now, he would probably miss the baby's party in a week.

His deep, narrow eyes darkened. Then he remembered the undisguised disgust on Liliana's face earlier, and a pained, bitter smile touched his lips.

Forget it.

Liliana had thrown him out without a second thought, for what felt like the hundredth time. Since he had already decided to stay away from her and their daughter… it was better not to bother them at the party.

Linton lowered his gaze, his expression bleak. "I understand," he said, his voice hoarse.
