She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 223

"What?"

Luke Lawrence looked stunned. "You turned Regency Bay into a fairytale castle, and it's not to celebrate Leo winning the National Junior Prodigy Challenge?"

At the mention of the award, a flash of discomfort crossed Miles York's eyes. "I'll celebrate for Leo another time, but not today."

"Miles, Leo is your son. You're not throwing a party for your own kid, but for an outsider?"

Cody Garrett chimed in, "Yeah, Miles. If Jade finds out, she'll be heartbroken."

Julian Fox also wanted to hear Miles's reasoning. He still found the whole situation hard to swallow.

There had to be a compelling reason for Miles to have an illegitimate child out of wedlock, right?

Just then, Jack walked over, interrupting their conversation.

"Sir, Ms. Avery and little Luna are here."

A soft warmth seeped into Miles's eyes, and the corners of his lips curved upward. He stood and walked over.

He had just seen the little girl by the Spring River Bank yesterday, yet it felt like days had passed. He missed her.

Hearing the mention of Quinn, Luke and Cody exchanged disgusted, suspicious glances.

"Luke, did I hear that right? Jack said Quinn and some kid are here? Are they the main characters Miles was talking about?"

Luke frowned and scoffed. "Impossible. How could the daughter of a nanny be the center of attention?"

Julian stood up, casting a casual glance at the two of them. "You're not deaf. Quinn brought the little girl, and they are the guests of honor."

With that, he straightened his collar and strode away with his long legs.

He left Luke and Cody standing there in bewildered silence, a cloud of suspicion brewing in their minds.

...

Upon seeing Miles, Luna greeted him politely with her sweet voice, "Hello, Weird Uncle!"

A smile graced Miles's handsome face. "Luna, it's been a while."

Hadn't they just seen each other yesterday?

"Can I hold you?"

Not seeing him, she looked confused. Was he not here today?

"Weird Uncle, where is your son, Leo?"

Miles's face stiffened slightly. "Luna, you're the star today. Leo didn't come."

"Oh."

"Why didn't Caleb Chase come?"

Miles shot Quinn a displeased look, assuming she had purposely left Caleb behind.

Luna tilted her chin, her sweet voice laced with a touch of pride. "My brother has programming classes. He didn't have time to come!"

Miles was taken aback. "He's... learning programming at such a young age?"

The boy's talent was truly astonishing. His genetics were incredibly strong. To be such a prodigy so young—it reminded Miles of his own childhood.

"My brother is super smart! Programming is a piece of cake for him!"
