Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 224

Liliana’s eyelid twitched. She turned to her mother, finally getting a chance to say what she’d been trying to explain all along.

“Mom, you really don’t remember? He’s Liam Grayson, the second son of the Grayson family, the one who’s been living abroad all these years.”

Mrs. Hart paused, her eyes flickering as a memory surfaced. She smiled, though her expression cooled slightly.

She cleared her throat, turning to her daughter with a kind, motherly gaze. “Is he the one who used to travel with Matthew to see you when you were little?”

Liliana nodded. “Yes, that’s him. He’s back in the country now.”

At this, Mrs. Hart looked thoughtfully at Liam, who sat quietly across from them.

Her expression shifted again as she cleared her throat, her tone now carrying a subtle weight. “It’s good that you’re back. Your roots are in Crownport, after all. Living abroad indefinitely isn’t a permanent solution.”

“Now that you’re home, focus on building a good life. If you run into any trouble, you can always talk to me. I can ask Gabriel to help you out.”

Liam’s eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly recovered with a smile. His voice was light and easy. “Thank you for the kind offer, ma’am. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. And I’ll take good care of Liliana, too.”

Their conversation felt like a riddle.

Each sentence was layered with hidden meanings that went completely over Liliana’s head.

She blinked in confusion, sensing there was more to their words than met the ear.

After a moment’s thought, she turned back to her mother. “Mom, did you know Liam before?”

Mrs. Hart picked up the ladle and served her a bowl of the soup. “Everyone in Crownport has heard of everyone else,” she said with a smile. “I just never had the chance to meet him in person.”

That made sense.

Liliana remembered Matthew telling her that his younger brother had been sent abroad right after he was born and had never even returned for holidays with the Grayson family.
