Cody realized he had severely overstepped. His face flushed with embarrassment as he lowered his head and quickly stepped aside.
He ordered Gail, "Keep massaging it, but lighten up. Her ankle is injured, she can't handle the pressure."
Gail felt incredibly wronged. She hadn't even applied any pressure yet, and Jade was already screaming in pain.
Was she supposed to keep going or not?
"Gail, I... I'll just do it myself."
Hearing that, Gail eagerly stepped back like she had just been relieved of a ticking time bomb. She stood to the side, ready to hand over the balm, entirely unwilling to touch her again.
Finding the crowd a bit stifling for her performance, Jade spoke up.
"Cody, Macy, why don't you guys go back out and play? I'll join you in a bit."
Cody wanted to say something but was dragged away by Macy, who whispered,
"Let's go. Don't bother Miles and Jade."
Luke glanced at Jade, then at Miles.
A hint of dejection flashed in his eyes as he walked out with Sienna.
Miles sat beside Jade, handing her a tissue. "Are you absolutely sure you don't want Gail to help massage it?"
She shook her head gently, a look of unyielding resilience in her eyes. "No."
Seeing her act so fragile and broken, yet stubbornly refusing to burden anyone else, moved Miles.
Her determination to silently shoulder all her grievances and hardships caused his expression to soften.
When Quinn walked in, she saw his tall frame practically enveloping her.
From her angle, it looked exactly as if he were tenderly and intimately massaging Jade's ankle.
It was a blinding, heart-wrenching sight. A faint, bitter taste spread across her tongue. She averted her gaze and returned to her room.
She poured out some iodine and disinfected her palm again, biting down on a piece of clean gauze as she painstakingly re-bandaged her right hand.
"Hiss~"
She grabbed her purse and marched toward the door. No matter what, she was going to see her children today.
Jack tried to block her path, but she cut him off. "Jack, just pretend you never saw me. If there's any fallout, I'll take the blame when I get back."
She was taking full responsibility so he wouldn't be put in a difficult position.
Left with no choice, Jack turned a blind eye. If the master asked, he would just say she went to the doctor because her palm was bleeding again.
...
Quinn spent the entire day playing with her children, buying them several new outfits and a few toys.
Caleb didn't want any typical toys. Acting like a sensible little adult, he picked out a set of educational flashcards.
Yara praised him, "Your Caleb already recognizes so many words, and now he's learning English vocabulary too!"
Quinn smiled. "Isn't that all thanks to his amazing godmother?"
"Oh please, it's not me. Caleb inherited your genius genes. Miles still doesn't know you're fluent in eight languages, does he?"

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
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....
