She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 317

So that was why. Luke and Cody let out sighs of relief.

"Miles, so that's what this is about. But we aren't wrong, right? Once your contract with her ends, she'll have to move out of Regency Bay anyway."

"Exactly, we weren't wrong. When she has nothing to do with you anymore, she naturally can't stick around Regency Bay."

Her mind was still fixated on Miles. What had gotten into him? Why did he get so upset the moment they mentioned Quinn?
