She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 248

He completely forgot about his earlier promise to visit Leo in Jade's room until another knock echoed through the door, violently reminding him.

"Miles, didn't you say you were coming to check on Leo? Are you going to sleep?"

Already under the covers and dead tired, Miles yanked the door open with profound annoyance.

It dawned on him then that the promise had totally slipped his mind.

A shred of guilt softened his tone. "Leo's not asleep yet?"

Glancing at the clock—it was nearly eleven at night. Did this mother-son duo normally stay up this late?

A faint blush of red pooled in Jade's gorgeous eyes, as if desperately fighting back a deluge of tears.

Nibbling her bottom lip, her wispy voice trembled under an act of painful endurance. "Miles, Leo has been waiting for you this entire time. He refuses to sleep."

Noticing her hopelessly thin slip dress once more, Miles threw another coat over her shoulders. "Why are you wearing so little again?"

His voice dialed back its bite. "Let's go. I'll see him."

The silky nightgown accentuated every inch of her delicate frailty, painting her as something that would crumble beneath the slightest heavy tone.

Barely two steps down the hall, she seemingly misstepped. With a sharp gasp, her body careened heavily toward Miles's side.

Catching her smoothly, Miles asked in alarm, "Jade, what's wrong?"

"Miles, I feel a little dizzy."

Jade's whisper was barely louder than a mosquito. Both arms slithered instinctively up his neck, nesting into his chest with a deeply flushed blush.

Miles went perfectly rigid. A choking wave of perfume assaulted his senses. Moving with unhurried purpose, he peeled her off his chest, securing a firm grip purely to steady her.

"Jade, stand up straight. Let me walk you to your room."

"I'll have Gail bring up some headache medicine shortly. You'll feel better once you take it."

"You probably caught a cold from wearing so little," he added.

Forced off his chest, Jade's expression turned grim. Was Miles really not going to scoop her up and carry her back?

When would he finally catch a hint and show some actual initiative?
