Seeing him return, Jade stepped out from the nearby elevator.
She had heard from Lynn that he had actually delivered the jewelry to Quinn, and a violent wave of jealousy consumed her.
She dug her nails into her palms, fighting hard to suppress her furious temper.
Why on earth did that bitch Quinn deserve expensive jewelry from Miles?
Just wait. Once the dark web photos hit Macy's inbox, let's see if she still has the nerve to show her face around him.
When she looked up, her expression was perfectly gentle and sweet.
"Miles, is Quinn still upset?"
Miles's dark expression softened. "Jade, you don't need to worry about her. Weren't we heading to Prague?"
"I'm already packed and just waiting for you."
"Alright, let's head out now."
When Quinn stepped out of the bathroom, she spotted the velvet box sitting on the counter.
Her eyes darkened. She fully intended to return it, absolutely refusing to accept his patronizing charity.
Just then, her phone rang. Seeing Ethan's name on the screen, she set the velvet box aside.
"Quinn, I'm at the hotel entrance."
Quinn's mood instantly brightened. "I'll be down in ten minutes."
Ethan had offered to take her shopping for some specialized translation books she had been wanting but couldn't easily find.
She changed into a casual outfit, pulled her hair into a low ponytail, slipped on her canvas sneakers, and headed downstairs.
Miles and Jade were just walking out of the hotel doors when he spotted her leaving again for the night. His dark, predatory gaze locked onto her retreating figure.
Where was this woman sneaking off to instead of staying in her room?
She had just been mugged. Did she have a death wish?
"Jade, get in the car first. I'll be right back."
Jade looked confused. "Miles, where are you going?"
Miles realized his temper was showing. He reined in his dark aura and spoke gently.
"Sorry, Jade. I'm not angry. Just a bit exhausted from how busy the last few days have been."
Jade immediately offered her sweet concern. "It's okay, I understand. The flight to Prague is about five hours, so you can just catch up on some sleep on the plane."
...
The corner coffee shop was warm and inviting. The light brown wood-grain tables and chairs contrasted beautifully with the foreign streetscape visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ethan had first taken Quinn to the bookstore to pick up the titles she had been searching for.
Afterward, they walked over to the adjacent cafe. "Quinn, I'll carry the books. Your palm hasn't healed yet."
"Alright, thank you."
Quinn's features were relaxed and soft as she chatted and laughed lightly with Ethan.
The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable, the bustling traffic outside blurring into a cozy background.
Meanwhile, Miles took advantage of the layover before their connecting flight to call Quinn.

Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
