She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 194

He raised a hand to rub his temples, trying to dispel the suffocating feeling in his chest as a helpless smile graced his lips.

His hopes had been dashed, yet he felt no anger or annoyance—only a mix of amusement and profound melancholy.

Seeing his silence, Quinn assumed he was still unwilling and pressed on.

"I promise you, it's just a temporary fix. My contract marriage will be over soon. Once I sign the papers and get the divorce certificate, I won't need you to play the role of their Daddy anymore."

"Ethan, please, can you just do this for me? Just act as a temporary father figure so I can handle the neighbors and acquaintances. I don't want people gossiping about the kids or subjecting them to baseless rumors."

Her bright eyes shimmered with tears, deeply reflecting her desperate, earnest hope.

She spoke in a hushed, cautious tone, terrified of crossing a line.

"I only asked because I know you're single right now. If you... if you really don't want to, just... forget I said anything."

Quinn was drowning in distress and self-blame. To prevent Miles and Jade from mocking Luna and Caleb for not knowing their real father, she had shamelessly begged someone as pure and perfect as Ethan to fill the role.

Part of her desperation stemmed from a fierce desire not to let Miles look down on them.

Luna and Caleb were so exceptional, it was only logical that their father would be equally striking and extraordinarily dignified.

She honestly couldn't think of a better candidate than Ethan.

If she found some average, unremarkable guy, would the neighbors even buy it?

Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose, adjusting his glasses as he cast a tender gaze upon her.

"How do you know I don't want to?"

His words acted like a pair of warm hands, instantly sweeping away the heavy clouds suffocating Quinn's heart.

She could hardly believe he was actually agreeing. Pure joy flooded her expressive eyes. "Ethan, you... you'll do it?"

Ethan nodded, flashing a warm, gentle smile. "Yes, I'd be honored to be your children's Daddy."
