Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 146

Ideally, she could attract reviews from influential industry experts or even pre-orders from high-society fashionistas.

This would give her fledgling company an incredible boost.

Lost in thought, she bid Aiden farewell at her hotel room door and immediately dove into selecting the pieces she wanted to showcase.

*Knock, knock.*

A soft rap on the door.

Not giving it much thought, Liliana assumed it was Aiden with an update. She rose to open the door with a smile. "Aiden..."

But the face that greeted her was a familiar, chillingly handsome one.

Linton!

Liliana’s whole body went rigid, her mind struggling to process what she was seeing. For a moment, she wondered if her eyes were deceiving her.

How could Linton be here?

Until—

"Liliana."

Linton's voice, cool as melting snow, washed over her, laced with a hint of longing as he spoke her name.

Liliana's face hardened. Without a second's hesitation, she tried to slam the door shut.

But Linton was faster. He blocked the door with his hand, his eyes fixed on her impatient expression.

He had seen the sweet smile she'd had ready for Aiden. The way her eyes crinkled at the corners—it was the same smile she used to give him, a smile now reserved for other men.

To him, she was nothing but a cold, prickly hedgehog, stabbing him with every glance. Linton's lips pressed into a thin line. "Liliana, we..." he began, his voice hoarse.

"Are you stalking me?" she cut in, her tone dripping with annoyance, refusing to even look at him.

Linton was silent for a long moment. Liliana let out a humorless laugh, her voice growing colder. "Linton, can you please stop haunting me?"
