She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 148

Miles's gaze was heavy, his expression entirely unreadable as his lips parted to deliver a single, loaded question.

"Quinn, why did Luna call you Mommy?"

The words struck like a thunderbolt right beside her ear.

Quinn's mind went completely blank. A cold sweat immediately broke out across her trembling palms. She dug her nails into her skin, desperately forcing herself to focus and mask the sheer, rising panic in her eyes.

Summoning every ounce of willpower, she forced a stiff, unnatural smile and replied, "Luna has... recognized me as her Godmother for a while now."

"She's been very clingy with me lately. Yara... Yara has been traveling a lot for work recently, so I've been spending a lot more time taking care of her. Eventually, she just started calling me her Godmother."

As the lie spilled from her lips, she forced herself to look slightly away, entirely too terrified to meet his predatory gaze. A thin sheen of nervous sweat had even begun to gather at her hairline.

Outwardly, she fought tooth and nail to maintain a facade of absolute calm, terrified that a single crack in her composure would expose her true identity to Miles.

She had no idea if he bought the lie.

Miles's heart did a strange flip. He completely missed the panicked nuances in Quinn's expression.

His immediate, overwhelming thought was: *Wait, doesn't that make me Luna's Godfather?*

To his absolute shock, he didn't feel a shred of repulsion at the idea. Instead, a delicate, profound warmth flooded his chest, wrapping around his heart like a soft blanket.

Luna had to know that Quinn was his wife. Did that mean, deep down, she already thought of him as her Godfather?

No wonder... no wonder he had felt so intensely devastated these past few days when Luna was angry and refusing to speak to him.

No wonder he constantly thought about her, craved her attention, and felt an instinctual urge to pull her into his arms every time he saw her sweet little face.

It all made sense now. The invisible, magnetic bond tying them together was real—he was her Godfather.

The sheer realization sparked an unexpected, undeniable surge of joy within him.
