She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 178

[Tomorrow works perfectly. If you're free, I can show you around then.]

Miles knocked on the door. Quinn stepped away from her laptop to open it, assuming it was Gail.

Seeing Miles instead, the warmth instantly vanished from her face. "What do you want now?"

Miles's eyes were as deep as dark pools. He was intensely displeased by the way her smile had completely disappeared the second she saw him.

"Grandma Evelyn called. We're expected at the family estate for dinner tomorrow."

Quinn had just finalized plans to act as Ethan's tour guide tomorrow, and now Miles was showing up to ruin it.

Wasn't this just forcing her to break her promise to Ethan?

"Miles, can't you just tell her no? We're about to get divorced. Why do I need to go to the estate?"

Miles's dark eyes flashed with cold mockery. "Do you need me to remind you of the terms of our contract, Quinn? Until the marriage is legally dissolved, you are required to comply with all of the York family's arrangements unconditionally."

Quinn was left speechless. The air in the room grew thick with tension.

He was right. In this transactional marriage, he was the dictator, and she was merely the employee. What right did she have to object?

She slowly uncurled her tightened fists. "Can we go the day after? I have plans tomorrow."

"No. Cancel your plans."

Miles's gaze drifted past her and landed on her open laptop. The messaging app was still active, displaying her conversation.

The person on the other end had replied with a warm emoji: [Perfect. I'll be in your care tomorrow, Quinn.]

Seeing his eyes fixed on her screen, Quinn rushed over and slammed the laptop shut.

The defensive gesture instantly darkened Miles's face. He had already read enough.

This woman had made plans to go out with another man tomorrow. Her tone in the messages had been so sweet and gentle—a complete 180 from the ice queen she played with him.

So she was just angry that he was ruining her little date.

A deep crease formed between his brows, his dark eyes igniting with anger.
