Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 269

Mr. Foster didn't dare to respond.

Liliana's smile remained, but her gaze was calm. "Professor, who the father is doesn't matter."

"What matters is that I am the mother."

"And whoever I say her father is, that's who he is."

That was certainly one way to look at it.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Foster smiled kindly. "Liliana, I've designed a small gift for the baby. When she's born, I'll give it to her."

No matter what happened, all that mattered was that they were safe and sound. It was a simple wish, but the most sincere blessing.

Liliana smiled in gratitude. "Thank you, Professor. You really shouldn't have. You've already retired, yet you've made a special exception to create a jade for Amelia."

Mr. Foster waved his hand, a look of regret on his face as a thought occurred to him.

"I heard that Northlight Design Lab was also supposed to be nominated for the Best New Designer award this year."

Liliana paused.

Mr. Foster continued, "Your ex-fiancé's sister... I've seen her work. While her talent can't compare to yours or Aiden's, she has potential. If she were willing to focus and dedicate herself to design, she could have made a name for herself."

"A pity..."

Mr. Foster trailed off, his wrinkled face showing a complex expression. "After she was arrested by the police, her nomination was naturally revoked."

Liliana lowered her lashes and said softly, "Professor, we all choose our own paths in life."

"That's true," Mr. Foster sighed. "People are never satisfied. If only they would cherish what they have, focus on the people right in front of them, and live their own lives well, they could be quite happy. It's a simple truth that so many understand, yet so few can actually practice it."

Liliana's beautiful eyes stared straight ahead. She said nothing.

Halfway through the awards ceremony, the host cheerfully announced the winner of the Best New Designer award. There were four nominees in total, all young designers who had recently made a name for themselves.
