She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 20

"Mommy... did I say something wrong?"

Caleb's voice pulled Quinn back from her thoughts.

Every time she endured another round of abuse at the York estate, all she needed was to come back to Fairview Apartments and hold her babies.

In an instant, all the humiliation vanished, replaced by a deep, glowing warmth.

For these two perfect angels, every bit of suffering she endured was completely worth it.

"No, my sweet boy. Mommy isn't upset with you at all."

Yara was still at work.

After spending quality time with the twins, Quinn received a new translation gig. It was a Spanish document.

"Ms. Avery, when can you have this finished?"

Quinn checked the file. It was dozens of pages long and due by noon the next day.

Thankfully, only her palm was injured, not her fingers. She had to type it out on her laptop since speech-to-text always generated typos that required manual correction anyway.

The client said noon was too late; they needed it by 8:00 AM.

"Ms. Avery, I'll pay you double your usual rate for the rush job."

Quinn desperately needed the money. Between the nanny's salary and the twins' living expenses, the promise of double pay was enough to make her agree immediately.

"Alright, I'll make it work."

Knowing she had to pull an all-nighter, she decided to stay at the apartment instead of returning to Regency Bay.

Her phone, resting on the desk, suddenly began to ring. Seeing it was Jack calling from the villa, she ignored it.

She figured he'd give up, but the phone rang relentlessly.

Forced to pause her work, she walked to the other side of the room to answer.

The moment she picked up, Jack's voice came through. "Ms. Avery, Mr. York is home. He's asking why you aren't back yet. Please hurry home."

Miles was back?

Wasn't he out on a date with Jade?

Macy had just reposted Jade's social media feed, showing off pictures of their romantic candlelit dinner.

She figured Jade had intentionally asked Macy to share it, just to rub it in her face.
