Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 221

Liliana had been so young back then.

A teenage girl obsessed with melodramatic romance novels, she’d spend her days weeping over the tragic love stories of fictional characters.

One day, crying, she had snuggled up to Linton and said plaintively, “The characters in the novels have such hard lives.”

She’d made him promise that if they ever had a baby, their child would live a happy life, one where they could be gentle with others and be treated with gentleness in return.

With that wish in her heart, she had come up with two names for their future baby.

It was all just childish nonsense, a joke made when they were too young to know better.

Liliana never thought Linton would remember it all these years later. It was so immature.

Linton’s rambling voice grew softer and softer, punctuated by sharp intakes of breath. The pain was clearly getting to him.

He managed a weak smile, not caring about the wound, and stubbornly reached for her hand. “My dear Liliana, if you don’t like the names we picked back then, I’ll... I’ll think of another one...”

“Amelia Hart.”

Liliana’s voice was soft but clear.

She said flatly, “The baby’s name is Amelia Hart.”

“Now you know. You can go, can’t you?”

Linton froze for a second, a surprising dampness welled in his eyes. A sting of emotion hit his nose.

The gunshot wound in his chest was still seeping blood.

He winced, a dazed, foolish grin spreading across his face. “Oh, Liliana... so we’re having a daughter...”

Overjoyed, Linton pulled her into a hug and planted a huge kiss on her cheek.

He then gently pecked her soft lips, his gaze softening immensely as he whispered, “Liliana, once I’ve taken care of everything, you and our daughter will be safe.”

“I promise, I won’t let anyone hurt you. I won’t let any danger come near you.”

His words were cryptic and out of place.

Liliana’s eyes instinctively darted to the crimson stain on his shirt.

The faint smell of blood reached her.
