She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 231

A wave of amusement washed over Yara's eyes. She had previously found Luke utterly insufferable, but right now, she actually thought he looked somewhat tolerable.

"Quinn is right. We really should be thanking you. Miles is truly blessed to have such loyal childhood friends like you guys!"

Cody and Luke exchanged looks of pure confusion. What did that mean? Were these two women actually thanking them?

Had they finally realized they couldn't cozy up to Mr. York and decided to change their tune?

The two men entirely missed the underlying meaning in Yara's words, but Julian, standing off to the side, easily caught the biting sarcasm.

A lazy smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he glanced at his two childhood friends.

A trace of cold mockery flashed through his eyes. He seriously needed to reevaluate these two. Did their combined IQs even break ninety?

He honestly didn't know whether Miles should be glad to have friends like them or just consider himself incredibly unlucky.

Emboldened by having Cody and Luke backing him up, Leo tilted his chin up.

He glared at Luna with sheer arrogance. "My daddy only has one son, and that's me! He's never going to take you as his goddaughter!"

Luna planted her hands on her hips and fired back, "I don't need a godfather anyway! I have my own daddy! Who cares about yours? Hmph!"

Miles stepped out just in time to hear those words, and his heart immediately dropped.

A hoarse sound escaped his throat. "Luna..."

Seeing him, Luna turned her little face away, clearly wanting nothing to do with him.

Miles knew immediately that Leo had provoked her. He darkened his tone.

"Leo, apologize to Luna right now!"

Leo burst into loud wails, rubbing his eyes. "Daddy, you... you don't love me anymore! I'm your real son, so how can you make some wild child your goddaughter?"

"Shut up! Leo, who taught you to speak like that?"

Miles's expression instantly darkened into a thunderous scowl.

He was furious. How many times had he tried to correct Leo's behavior?

It was her way of saying that her children had no desire to fight Leo for anything.

Yara forced down her anger and glared mockingly at the grandmother and grandson.

Leo's face was streaked with tears as he buried himself in Judith's embrace, crying pitifully. "Grandma, wahhh..."

Seeing her precious grandson in tears completely shattered Judith's heart.

"Don't cry, Leo. Tell Grandma, who upset you?"

"Grandma, Daddy yelled at me... He yelled at me because of another kid... He wants to make someone else's kid his goddaughter. Daddy doesn't love me anymore, wahhh..."

Jade's eyes rimmed with red. She held her son tightly, her voice dripping with grievance.

"Miles, how... how could you yell at Leo?"

Judith also shot her son a reproving look. "Leo is still so young. If he does something wrong, you can teach him. Why would you yell at him?"

Miles pinched the bridge of his nose. "Mom, he was calling people names. I was disciplining him for being disrespectful."
