Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 56

And old Mr. Cooper's refusal to agree to the breakup wasn't just stubbornness; it was because of her grandfather's dying wish.

"Grandma…"

Liliana bit her lip, her mind a chaotic mess. "I… I'm really confused right now."

The thought that Linton might not have been completely indifferent to her made her heart ache with a suffocating pressure.

She didn't understand.

If Linton truly loved her, and she loved him…

Then how, step by step, had they ended up here?

A sudden wave of sorrow washed over Liliana.

Old Mrs. Kingsley tried to comfort her. "Liliana, don't put all the blame on yourself."

"Perhaps neither of you is at fault. Sometimes, two people are just incompatible. Forcing it only leads to mutual destruction."

"Our Liliana was raised with so much love, a treasure cherished by her family," old Mrs. Kingsley lamented. "The right person for you is someone who can love you and only you, with his whole heart."

"But Linton can't do that. He's had a heavy sense of responsibility since he was a child. He's a closed book, but he always takes everything onto his own shoulders. His world is too large, filled with too many other people and things he can't let go of. There's no room for just you."

The older generation had a keen eye for people.

Old Mrs. Kingsley had hit the nail on the head.

Liliana had never asked for much. She wasn't a greedy person.

From the very beginning, all she had ever wanted from Linton was to be his one and only.

But that was the one thing Linton, who could give her anything else, could not provide.

And that was the source of their conflict.

Both were stubborn as mules, unwilling to back down. When it came to this fundamental, non-negotiable issue, neither would compromise.

Liliana lowered her gaze, her voice a little hoarse. "Mrs. Kingsley, thank you for telling me all this."
