She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 259

Jack stammered his response, "Ma'am said... Jade, Luna never wanted Miles to be her godfather anyway. A... a man like that is better left for your son to enjoy all to himself!"

Hearing this, Miles's face darkened like a stormy sea. He clenched his fists tight and shot up from the sofa.

He ground his teeth. "Quinn Avery, you've really outdone yourself!"

He had already been feeling internally suffocated over Luna's refusal to accept him as her godfather.

Those words were the final spark that ignited all his negative emotions.

He strode away on his long legs, his expression murderous, radiating an oppressive chill.

Watching him go, Jack cursed internally. If he had known it would be this bad, he... he wouldn't have said anything.

Gail muttered reproachfully, "Jack, why did you have to tell him the whole truth? Sir definitely feels humiliated now."

Jack was steeped in regret. "Ugh, Sir forced me to speak! In the heat of the moment, I just blurted the whole thing out without thinking."

"If I'd known Sir was going to blame Ma'am again, I... I would've kept my mouth shut."

Gail scolded him, "You, really! What do we do now? Sir is definitely going to start another fight with Ma'am."

"Sir only asked if Ms. Winter apologized. Why did you have to drag Ma'am's response into it?"

Miles had initially been consumed by wrath, violence surging in his chest.

But after catching Gail's words, his steps faltered, and a look of shock crossed his face.

Jade hadn't mentioned a single thing about the incident. Had he... just wrongly blamed Quinn earlier?

He forced down his anger for the moment and knocked on her door, though his tone was far from gentle. "Quinn Avery, come out. I need to talk to you."

Without waiting for her to respond, he pushed the door open and walked in, acting as if her permission was completely unnecessary.

Quinn had returned to her room, calmed her nerves, and opened her laptop to continue working.

Only work could distract her from the absolute mess of a day she was having.

At the very least, he could read it. Even if he wasn't a professional translator, he had no problem reading Italian, French, and German.

Quinn glared at him. The last time they were in the car, he had mocked her with the exact same words, and she had brushed it off.

Now, he was using it to tear her down and belittle her all over again. The anger she had been trying to suppress flared back to life.

"Miles, whether I can read it or not, I don't need your unsolicited critiques. Give me back my book."

That book was a rare edition Ethan had tracked down for her; it was extremely precious.

It was filled with her personal notes and reflections. She relied on those notes to perfectly capture the true essence of the original text.

She reached out to grab the annotated book back, but Miles held it high above his head, completely out of her reach.

"Quinn, I'm just trying to help you. If you don't understand it, you can ask me. I'm not trying to criticize you."

Miles felt a sliver of guilt because his sister had falsely accused her and Yara, so he wanted to use this opportunity to offer her some help as a peace offering.
