She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 174

The evening breeze caught the loose strands of hair framing her face. The suffocating tightness in her chest dissolved into a cold, helpless laugh. She was drowning in the sheer absurdity of it all.

Any lingering trace of emotion completely evaporated. She tossed out a flat, indifferent response:

"If you're delusional, go see a therapist."

"I went abroad on personal business. It had absolutely nothing to do with you. If I had a choice, I would wish you never existed in my life."

If he hadn't, she wouldn't have fallen for him the second she laid eyes on him at the York estate.

If she had never met him, their paths would have never crossed. She wouldn't have spent years chasing his shadow, filled with useless hope, only to lose her heart completely.

A heavy, bitter lump formed in Quinn's throat, but she refused to show him even a fraction of her vulnerability.

Miles's lips curled into a cold, mocking sneer. He clearly didn't believe a word she said.

"Fine, Quinn. If you won't admit it, I won't force you. Right now, I want to talk about Luna."

She had drawn a crystal-clear line with every word, but in his eyes, it was nothing more than a stubborn, manipulative act of playing hard to get.

Being so deeply misunderstood and looked down upon made the old wounds in Quinn's battered heart throb with renewed agony and fury. Despite herself, tears pricked her eyes.

Her knuckles turned white. "I already told you, you have no right to act like a father to her. Stay out of her life!"

Miles completely ignored the distinction between being a father and a godfather.

His dark eyes turned bottomless, his jawline sharp and unforgiving. He looked down at her with absolute authority.

"I have no right? But the absent father who has never once shown his face does?"

Quinn met his mocking gaze head-on, refusing to back down from his aggressive stare.

"Of course he does. Her dad is back from abroad. She already has a daddy. Why on earth would she need you as a godfather?"
