Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 392

She hadn't made a decision right away. On her third wedding anniversary, she planned to confront Matthew, to tell him she knew he loved someone else and ask what his intentions were for their future.

If he had been honest and willing to talk calmly about their future together...

Then, for their son's sake, she would have forgiven him. She would have let go of the past and committed to building a real life with him, a proper family of three.

But if Matthew had denied it, or worse, flown into a rage and accused her of snooping, refusing to change while keeping her as his wife and secretly loving Liliana...

Then she wouldn't have hesitated any longer. She would have accepted the Nightfall brothers' offer and orchestrated a deliberate murder to make him pay.

That had been Isabella's plan.

She had it all figured out.

But life rarely goes according to plan.

It seemed fate enjoyed playing cruel jokes.

On their third anniversary, before she had a chance to confront Matthew...

He confronted her first, revealing a staggering secret he had hidden for years.

...

The haggard, withered woman's memories came flooding back.

Isabella stared blankly at Liliana, her mind a whirlwind of chaotic images flashing before her eyes like a slideshow.

Finally, all the jumbled memories settled on that day—their third anniversary.

Remembering something, Isabella's gaze turned dark and sinister. She bit down hard, a look of jealous, terrified guilt flashing in her eyes.

Her body trembled as she recalled how, in a state of panic, she had rashly called the Nightfall brothers, her voice hollow with fear as she agreed to their plan.

"Tell me! Just tell me! Liliana, you bitch, tell me!"

"What else was on Matthew’s computer? What did I miss?!"

Liliana looked at her calmly, a slow, knowing smile spreading across her face.

She rose gracefully, turned to leave without a second thought, and offered one last, deeply meaningful parting shot.

"You can spend the next few decades of your life sentence in prison, thinking about that and stewing in your regret."

"Isabella, I have no obligation to tell you. I didn't come here today to give you the truth."

Liliana paused, her smile deepening as she added in a flat, cold tone, "You can just..."

"Spend the long years ahead living in endless fear, letting your mind run wild with what-ifs. Consider it your penance for what you did to Matthew."
