The way she said it made it sound like Quinn was deliberately encouraging Luna to bully her son, painting them both as relentless and unforgiving.
Quinn's chest heaved with suffocating anger. Just as she was about to fire back, Luna beat her to it.
"Miss, your son gave an insincere apology. How can you try to guilt-trip me? When did I ever pressure your son?"
Luna was highly articulate, having picked up quite a few new phrases from her brother. She didn't miss a beat, using them all perfectly in context.
After finishing her piece, she looked at Miles. Her bright, beautiful eyes drooped slightly, radiating a hint of genuine grievance. "Weird Uncle, did I say anything wrong?"
Miles felt his heartstrings tugged violently. Without a second thought, he agreed, "You didn't say anything wrong."
He then shot Leo a much sterner look. "Leo, you are entirely in the wrong this time. You need to learn some manners and stop being so unreasonable."
Hearing Miles publicly scold her son in front of Quinn and Luna, tears instantly blurred Jade's vision.
"Miles, how could you speak to Leo like that? He already apologized! Why are you being so strict with him?"
A flicker of discomfort crossed Miles's face. Realizing his tone might have been a bit too harsh, his sharp features gradually softened.
After all, Leo was still young. He shouldn't have been so severe.
"Leo, Daddy didn't mean it like that. I'm just trying to teach you manners."
He picked Leo up, his voice returning to a gentle hum. "How about Daddy takes you to the swings? You said you wanted to play on the swings last time, so I had one built in the yard."
Quinn watched the picture-perfect 'family of three' with icy detachment. She had been right not to get her hopes up.
Why would Miles actually force his and Jade's son to sincerely apologize to Luna?
She held Luna tightly against her. "Luna, let's go."
Seeing how incredibly nice Weird Uncle was to his own son, Luna felt a pang of envy and a lot of grievance.
Was this Weird Uncle really her and Caleb's dad?
If he wasn't, then where was her real dad?
Was he really abroad?
If her dad came back, would he treat her and Caleb this well too?
