Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 149

Linton's face turned grim.

His voice was low and cold. "Are you trying to provoke me?"

He had learned his lesson.

The last time Liam had goaded him into a fight, Liliana had misunderstood and grown angry with him. Linton wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Aiden looked almost disappointed, but he quickly masked it with a smile. "Good luck, Mr. Cooper."

It was an undisguised challenge.

Linton's jaw tightened, a sudden wave of irritation washing over him.

Liliana always complained that he attracted trouble that she ended up paying for. But she had no idea that for years, she herself had been attracting a pack of wolves who coveted her.

The girl had been so sheltered, her entire focus on him, that she was oblivious to the affections of others. And Linton had been happy to fend off those rivals for her, enduring their schemes and attacks, all for her sake.

A bitter sense of unfairness washed over him. Liliana should know about all this.

If she knew that, in some ways, they were more alike than she realized, would his little girl have a change of heart?

Linton didn't dare to bet on it.

His face clouded over, suppressing the storm of frustration in his eyes.

No.

He could never let Liliana find out just how many men she had inadvertently charmed over the years.

Never.

...

Fearing another confrontation with Linton, Liliana decided to stay in her hotel room for the next few days.

She only ventured out with Aiden to attend the fashion shows.
