"Macy called the police without any evidence yesterday. I'll make sure she gives Quinn and Yara a formal apology!"
Hearing this, Jade's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and resistance.
She silently cursed her own son for being such an idiot. She had warned him over and over again yesterday not to mess up his lines.
But in the end... he had still let the truth slip.
If she had known, she never would have let Leo sleep in his room last night.
She kept her expression gentle and harmless, masking her eyes with a thin layer of grievance as she spoke in a soft voice.
"Miles, I didn't mean for any of this to happen either. With everything going on yesterday, it just slipped my mind. Please don't be mad at me."
"It's all my fault. I caused Leo to break out in hives yesterday, and I made Macy misunderstand Quinn. The next time I see Quinn, I'll take the initiative to apologize so you won't be caught in the middle."
Seeing her good attitude, Miles decided not to dwell on the issue. He just wanted to send them back to the Winter family as soon as breakfast was over.
"Yeah. Regardless, you're the one who dragged them into this mess."
He planned to give Quinn and Yara the compensation they deserved to smooth things over.
"After breakfast, I'll take you and Leo back."
Jade's expression froze instantly, her fingers curling tight. Was Miles really that eager to kick her and Leo out?
When Leo heard that his father was sending him away, he was immediately upset. Pouting his lips, he whined.
"Daddy, I want to live here! There's a big mansion, a slide, and it's like a playground. I don't want to go back!"
"I want to live wherever Daddy is! Right, Mommy?"
A subtle ripple crossed Jade's eyes. The corners of her lips curved up slightly as she sat back down at the dining table.
She spoke with practiced gentleness, "Miles, look... Leo really likes it here. Can't we let him stay a little longer?"
She concealed the dissatisfaction in her eyes, looking up at him with a pitiful, wronged expression.
"Miles... Leo is only three years old. How could a child's reputation be affected? Please don't send him away. Let him play here for a few more days, alright?"
"He only got upset just now because he heard you were sending him away. Don't be too hard on him. I'll talk to him later."
"Jade, Leo can play here, but he can't live here."
Miles wanted to return to the quiet, stable life where he and Quinn minded their own business. He didn't want this mother and son living under his roof.
Seeing that he still wouldn't agree, Jade felt a surge of suffocating resentment, but she maintained an understanding tone.
"Alright, Miles. Once I coax Leo, we'll head back on our own. You should get to work. I don't want to delay you."
Seeing her agree, Miles's expression softened, and his tone grew gentler. "You were always the most reasonable one, Jade. In a couple of days, I'll take you and Leo to look at preschools."
After Miles left for the office, Gail and Jack assumed Jade would be leaving with Leo. To their surprise, the mother and son showed absolutely no signs of packing up.

Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
