Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 321

“Mrs. Grayson... you... Matthew’s laptop. You saw it a long time ago. You knew all along, didn’t you?”

Mrs. Grayson hesitated, her expression a mess of conflict. Finally, she bit her lip and gave a nearly imperceptible nod.

A roar echoed in Liliana’s ears, as if she’d been struck by lightning. She stood frozen, swaying unsteadily on her feet, looking fragile and pitiful.

Mrs. Hart rushed forward, her heart aching, wanting to support her, but Liliana frantically brushed her hand away.

Liliana’s gaze burned into her mother. “Mom...” she asked, her voice tight, “did you know, too?”

Mrs. Hart wrung her hands, unable to meet her daughter’s eyes. After a long silence, she whispered, “I... I...”

“Your brother only told me recently...”

Liliana stared blankly for a moment, then let out a sharp, sudden laugh. “So my brother knew, too.”

“You all knew... You all knew everything, and I was the only one who didn’t!”

A profound sense of sorrow washed over her.

She staggered slightly, her chest rising and falling, her face pale as she struggled to breathe.

Isabella had been right.

She really didn’t know anything.

Everyone around her, thinking they were doing what was best, told her nothing. They hid everything, constructing a world for her that was as close to a utopia as possible.

It was a beautiful, simple world where she could grow freely, be headstrong and willful, carefree and without worries. No schemes, no calculations.

It was a clean world, shielded from all the darkness and intrigue of society, from the ugliness and complexity of human nature.

She had been well-protected, indeed. No wonder Isabella, an outsider looking in, had been so envious since they were children.

Suddenly, Liliana understood.
