She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 12

Quinn was just about to say something when Miles's phone rang.

It was another video call. The moment he answered, Jade's sweet, soft voice drifted over. "Miles, I'm waiting at home for you to pick me up."

"Alright, I'm heading out now."

His voice was incredibly gentle, a stark contrast to the biting tone he used with Quinn.

Jack pushed the box back in front of Quinn. "Ms. Avery, you might as well use it. You've had your old phone for over three years. It's time for an upgrade."

To provide for her two children and cover her mother's nursing home fees, Quinn had lived a life of strict frugality.

That beat-up phone had indeed overstayed its welcome. She had originally planned to save up a bit more before buying a replacement.

Hearing Jack's practical advice, she decided to accept it.

He was right. Why shouldn't she use it? She had done more than enough for Miles; there was no reason she couldn't accept this.

After all, she was the one who had nursed his terrible stomach condition back to health.

During her first year living at Regency Bay, Quinn had poured her heart into learning all sorts of new recipes just for him.

She cooked all his favorite meals, and knowing his stomach was sensitive, she learned to make healthy, soothing broths to heal him.

Thinking back on everything she had sacrificed for that man, she picked up the phone with a clear conscience.

...

Inside Valérie Boutique, the air conditioning was a crisp, refreshing chill, carrying the scent of a luxurious designer fragrance.

Quinn wore a simple backpack and had her hair tied in a low ponytail. In her ordinary clothes, she looked entirely out of place in the high-end French boutique.

Mr. Landon stood beside her, speaking politely. "Ms. Avery, thank you for your hard work today, keeping my wife company while she tries on clothes. Please, pick out an outfit for yourself as a token of our gratitude."

"Quinn! What a coincidence!"

A familiar, sugary voice interrupted their conversation. Jade Winter was clinging tightly to Miles's arm.
