She felt like she hadn't given it her all, that her cursing hadn't been satisfying enough.
Letting him off so easily felt like she had somehow lost out.
Liliana's face darkened, her delicate features scrunching up as she muttered to herself, "No, next time I have to curse him out properly—"
Wait.
There would be no next time.
Why would there be a next time?
Liliana froze, a sudden realization dawning on her, and her expression turned grim.
She lowered her long, thick lashes, silent for a long moment, then let out a soft, mocking laugh. Her lovely, fair face slowly became distant and cold.
Forget it.
There won't be a next time.
It was all over.
In the end, Linton was kicked out of the house by Liliana.
He was surrounded by a pile of the baby supplies he had secretly bought and hidden in the nursery, including the plush rabbit Liliana had thrown out the window before.
Martha had helped him pack them up, saying it was on Liliana's orders. She was supposed to watch him to make sure the bastard didn't try any tricks.
Martha was speechless.
She looked at the tall man standing impassively at the entrance of the Hart villa, clutching the plush rabbit. His expression was unreadable, and she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him.
She and Linton had developed a sort of 'revolutionary camaraderie' from their time studying recipes together in the kitchen.
