Luna fell straight into his embrace. Blinking her bright, shining eyes, she called out sweetly, "Weird Uncle!"
Holding the soft, adorable toddler in his arms, Miles felt an undeniable warmth spread through his chest.
"Do you like it here, Luna?"
Right at that moment, Jade arrived at Regency Bay with Leo. When the mother and son saw Miles holding a little girl named Luna, their expressions darkened instantly.
Leo yanked his hand free from his mother's grip and charged forward aggressively, pointing a rude finger at Luna.
"It's you again, you Wild Child! Let go of my dad! That's my dad!"
"Leo!"
This time, Miles was genuinely furious. His brows knotted together strictly.
"How could you call Luna a Wild Child? Is this how your mother raised you? Apologize to Luna immediately!"
Being scolded, Leo immediately burst into loud, wailing tears and rubbed his eyes, looking to his mother for help.
A flash of vicious jealousy toward Luna crossed Jade's eyes, but she quickly masked it with a look of heartbreak and grievance.
"Miles, Leo is just jealous because you're holding Luna instead of him. Do you really have to be so harsh with him?"
"Leo, listen to Daddy. Tell Luna you're sorry."
The smile vanished from Luna's face. She pushed out of Miles's arms and ran straight to her mother.
Her soft voice was laced with grievance. "Quinn..."
Quinn scooped Luna up, her voice trembling with barely suppressed rage. "Don't cry, Luna. You are not a wild child. You have a dad, and you're going to see him in a couple of days."
Hearing that Luna's father would be back in the country soon, a strange surge of displeasure pooled in Miles's chest.
It felt as if he had just laid eyes on something precious and reached out for it, only to be told it already belonged to someone else.
His mind flashed to the image of Quinn getting into a strange man's car. Could that man be Luna's father?
