Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 415

"…"

Well, now.

Getting hauled into the police station during the holiday.

Mrs. Hart rushed to the entrance, grabbing Gabriel's hand tightly. "Gabriel, what's going on? Why on earth would you go street racing during the holidays? You've never done anything like that before."

"I mean… getting taken to the police station on Christmas Eve, it's so… so…" Unlucky.

With the officer right there, Mrs. Hart couldn't bring herself to say the last word.

Gabriel paused for a moment, then reassured her, "It's nothing serious."

"Mom, you and Liliana stay here. I'll just go pay the fine and be right back."

The officer standing by rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed.

By now, Liliana had slowly walked over, one hand on her lower back.

She lifted her gaze and immediately saw Linton being held by the police officer.

Liliana's expression remained neutral.

She couldn't help but glance at him again, a corner of her mouth twitching. "What's the meaning of this?"

Didn't he just pass out at the hospital?

How did he end up street racing with her brother during the holidays?

Have they both lost their minds?

Linton looked guilty and didn't dare to meet her eyes.

Her cold words and expression at the hospital were still vivid in his memory. Just thinking about it made every organ in his body ache.

It was a dense, suffocating pain, like being pricked by a thousand needles.

Linton pressed his lips together, lowered his gaze, and said hoarsely, "It's nothing."

"We should get going. It's getting late. We don't want to keep you from getting off work, especially during the holidays."

The officer was distracted and let out an exasperated laugh.

"Comrade, now you're worried about us having to work extra during the holidays?"

"Where was this consideration when you were racing through the streets? We were chasing you, shouting for you to stop for ages!"

Once the officer started complaining, it was like opening a floodgate. He continued to lecture them as he led Linton away, completely forgetting what he was about to say.

Gabriel's eyes flickered. He followed them out, but before closing the door, he made sure to add a cold warning.

"It's not safe during the holidays. Thieves and scammers are out trying to meet their year-end quotas."

"You two stay at home and don't go out unless you have to. If someone knocks, don't open the door. And don't accept packages from strangers."

Mrs. Hart, feeling lectured, gave him a gentle push and said with a laugh of exasperation, "Alright, alright. Your mother and Liliana aren't children. We're grown adults, we don't need you to teach us these things."

"Just hurry up and get to the station, pay the fine, and come back. And no more street racing, don't cause any more trouble for these officers. You're a grown man, you should know better. It's like you're regressing with age."
