She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 105

Hunter hesitated. "Mrs. York... as the executive assistant, I took the liberty..."

Quinn turned around, her eyes cold and clear.

She caught the guilt flashing in his gaze and offered a sarcastic smile.

"Hunter, there's no need to lie. Since I accepted this check, I'll play my part flawlessly. You get what you pay for; I understand how this works."

Relieved that she agreed, Hunter felt his anxiety fade.

"In that case, I'll take my leave, Mrs. York."

She was such a wonderful person; why couldn't Mr. York see that?

She was even prettier than Jade.

...

Jade returned with Miles from their outing, absolutely thrilled.

Miles had just taken her to an auction and casually dropped eight figures on a rare, exquisite piece—The Seraphina's Ethereal Dream necklace.

But the moment she spotted Quinn in the hotel lobby, her heart sank, all her joy vanishing.

That apricot turtleneck sweater... wasn't that the exact same outfit the woman running out of Miles's room this morning was wearing?

Could the mystery woman in his bed have been Quinn all along?

"Quinn, what are you doing here?"

Quinn shot her an annoyed glare. "Why don't you ask the man standing right next to you why I'm here?"

Suddenly noticing the multi-million dollar jewel resting against Jade's collarbone, Quinn's expression froze for a fraction of a second.

She had seen The Seraphina's Ethereal Dream in magazines before; it was worth tens of millions.

She really was the love of his life. He didn't blink an eye at spending a fortune on her.

Her tone remained gentle. "I was just asking, Miles. It's fine if I can't. We're going to Prague for the ballet next week anyway. I'll wait for you patiently at the hotel."

"You're always so understanding, Jade," Miles praised.

Quinn watched their nauseating display of affection without a flicker of emotion.

As she turned to leave, Miles snapped, "Where do you think you're going this late?"

"To grab something to eat. Do I need to submit a formal request for your approval on that too?"

Miles ground his teeth. Did this woman physically hurt if she went five minutes without talking back to him?

"Miles, this must be Quinn's first time abroad. It's only natural she's curious about everything. I just worry her looks might attract the wrong kind of men..."

Jade stared at Quinn's retreating figure, heavily implying that she was going out to hook up, not to eat.

"Look at how she's dressed. It's simple, but it clings to every curve. Even as a woman, I find myself staring."
