Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 355

What if?

...

There was no 'what if.'

Reality soon delivered Linton a harsh lesson, slapping him across the face for daring to hope.

Liliana had completely banned him from the house.

When Linton returned to the Hart family home, clutching the stuffed rabbit, he found Gabriel Hart waiting for him at the door.

The handsome, aloof man stood tall and straight, his hands tucked casually in his pockets, looking like a sentinel guarding the entrance.

Linton looked up at him, frowning slightly. "Brother..."

"Don't try to pull rank," Gabriel cut him off coldly.

Linton was silent.

He forced a smile, not at all embarrassed at having his little ploy exposed.

He lowered his gaze and tried to walk past him into the house, holding the rabbit. "Alright, well, I'll just head inside. It's pretty cold out here today."

Gabriel silently extended an arm to block his path. "I'm afraid that's not possible," he said, his voice devoid of warmth.

"Liliana gave the order. If Mom and I dare to let you in again, even under the excuse of helping her through the pregnancy, she'll go to the hospital right now and terminate the pregnancy. To end it all."

Linton froze.

His face changed dramatically.

He stood there, rooted to the spot. The Crownport winter was severe, and the biting wind felt like it was freezing a layer of ice onto his skin. He shivered, his teeth chattering, a deep cold seeping into his bones.

This winter felt colder, more unbearable than any before.

Linton remained silent for a long moment, a pained smile twisting his lips. His face was pale, his voice raspy. "She wouldn't..."

"You can try me if you don't believe it," Gabriel said.

Of course, Linton didn't dare to test it. Liliana was his life, and the baby was his very heart.

He lowered his eyes, his expression turning to agony. His clear voice trembled uncontrollably, whether from the pain or the cold.

His words sounded like they were squeezed from his throat. He managed a smile. "Then I'll be going. Contact me if you need anything, Gabriel."
