She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 229

Hearing this, a dark flicker crossed Miles York's eyes, as if he wanted to explain something.

"Leo... he..."

"Miles..."

Jade Winter cut him off in a panic. A trace of desperate pleading flashed in her eyes, terrified of what he might reveal.

Putting on her best performance of a gentle, understanding woman, she pleaded softly.

"Judith just wants to know why you're doing this. Did Quinn beg you? I know the child doesn't have a father and lacks a male figure in her life, but you can't just keep Judith in the dark and..."

Judith York's face twisted in shock, her shrill voice piercing the room.

"What? She's a fatherless, illegitimate child?"

No wonder they wanted him to be the godfather.

With a background like that, they thought they could tie themselves to the York family?

Contempt and fury flared in her eyes. Quinn Avery was just a nanny's daughter; it figured her friends were women with messy, chaotic lives.

"Miles, how could you be so foolish?"

"Mom, Luna is not illegitimate. She has a father, and he just returned from abroad."

As Miles said this, his eyes—dark and still as a midnight river—shifted to Jade.

"Jade, before you know the facts, don't spread rumors about Luna's background. It just breeds nasty gossip."

A flash of embarrassment crossed Jade's face, her fingernails digging into her palms. Rage boiled inside her.

He was actually scolding her over a wild child?

Miles turned his attention back to his mother, his tone patient. "This has nothing to do with Quinn. I simply adore Luna. That little girl cures my exhaustion."
