She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 197

The man's cold, detached voice rang out. "Did you receive the money?"

Quinn had no idea what game he was playing, but given his insufferable arrogance, he was undoubtedly here to mock her again.

Seeing her stay silent without so much as a 'thank you,' Miles scoffed coldly. "Once Luna officially becomes my goddaughter, I'll be re-teaching her manners. Can't have her 'godmother' ruining her."

Quinn was in too good a mood to let him bait her, and she had zero interest in entertaining his nonsense.

Since Luna had a Daddy now, Miles was nothing more than a minor player, no matter how desperately he tried to force this godfather charade.

Seeing her continue to treat him like invisible air, Miles felt a sharp sting to his pride. His expression darkened ominously.

"Where did you go today?"

His gaze swept over her again, assessing her meticulously.

Dressing up all pretty... Did she go on a date with that Ethan guy?

At the thought, a flare of suffocating jealousy erupted in his chest, his face freezing over.

Quinn gave a chilly smile. "Nowhere special. I just went with Yara and Luna to meet their Daddy, who just returned from abroad."

Her words were like a microscopic needle unexpectedly piercing Miles's chest. It wasn't a violent strike.

But it left behind an irritating itch that slowly morphed into a phantom ache.

His long fingers abruptly clenched into tight fists, a storm of unidentifiable emotions churning in his eyes.

Luna's biological father really came back?

Quinn didn't bother to notice the sudden paleness of his face as she breezed right past him.

...

The next day.

Quinn had a last-minute translation gig. She wore a tasteful, light layer of makeup—nothing flashy—accented only by a simple pair of pearl earrings.

She opted for business attire: a silky chiffon blouse tucked into tailored trousers that perfectly highlighted her stunning curves.
