She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 228

Macy York pouted, clearly dissatisfied. "Miles, Mom is furious right now. Why aren't you going in to calm her down? Why are you just standing here?"

Miles frowned deeply. "I don't need you to tell me what to do. Go inside."

Macy threw a haughty, disdainful glare at Quinn Avery, scoffed, and walked away.

Quinn picked up Luna, ready to leave. "Miles, you saw it yourself. Your family doesn't want you to take Luna as your goddaughter. Let's just drop this."

"Luna, Godmother will take you to the park to play, okay?"

"Okay!"

Miles knew she would try to bolt with Luna, which was exactly why he had sent his mother and sister inside first.

He grabbed her arm. "Quinn, did I say you could leave?"

"Luna is the guest of honor today. If she leaves, there is no party."

Yara Chase flashed a sarcastic smile. "Oh, my. Mr. York, your parents will never agree to this, and your sister hates the idea. She was just threatening us."

"We're not going to stay here and be a thorn in your family's side. Go soothe their ruffled feathers and don't worry about us."

Miles's face darkened. Tugging at his collar, he turned to Tristan Vance.

"No one leaves Regency Bay without my permission!"

Quinn's temper flared. "Miles, what is that supposed to mean?"

"Stay here. I'll convince them to accept Luna. You are not leaving."

Seeing the rising tension, Julian Fox stepped in to smooth things over.

"Quinn, why don't you stick around? You can leave after Miles comes back."

"Miles, don't worry. Yara will do me a favor and keep Luna here for now, right?"

He offered Yara a polite nod and a charming smile, hoping she'd help talk Quinn into staying.

Yara raised an eyebrow but stayed silent.

Honestly, she was kind of curious to see if the scumbag would still try to adopt Luna after facing off against his mother and his precious childhood sweetheart.

Julian stood quietly to the side, lost in thought.

...

In the living room, Judith York sat on the sofa with a stone-cold expression, her eyes downcast. Macy and Jade flanked her, taking turns adding fuel to the fire.

"Mom, when he comes in, you have to stop him. The York family only welcomes Jade and Leo. We don't just let random strays walk through our front doors."

Miles caught the end of that sentence as he walked in, his expression instantly plunging into an icy, terrifying gloom.

His voice was deathly cold. "Macy, where are your manners as the daughter of the York family?"

Macy shrank toward her mother. "Miles... I didn't even say anything."

Judith was irritated by her son walking in and immediately scolding his sister. "Miles, don't yell at her. She's just looking out for you."

"Answer me this: why are you secretly adopting Quinn's friend's kid behind our backs?"

"Leo is your son. Why are you focusing on some outsider?"
