"Okay."
Finding the fourth floor too noisy, Miles had wandered up to the fifth floor to take his call.
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a figure that looked identical to Quinn, holding a small child's hand.
His gaze instantly locked onto her. He had thought his mind was playing tricks on him earlier.
But now, he was absolutely certain he wasn't mistaken.
He hung up the phone abruptly without another word.
It had been days since he last saw Luna. Since he bumped into her at the mall, he was determined to see her today.
"Quinn Avery!"
Hearing his voice, Quinn's heart leaped into her throat.
What was Miles doing here?
Caleb wasn't wearing his mask. She couldn't let Miles see him.
Panic consumed her. What was she going to do?
Caleb had gone out without his mask today, assuming the odds of running into the Yorks were practically zero. But of course, her worst fears had materialized.
Her blood ran cold. She dragged Caleb forward as fast as she could, her mind racing for an escape plan.
"Mommy, was that the weird guy's voice?"
"Caleb, you cannot let him see your face. We need to hide, right now."
Hearing this, Caleb instantly pointed ahead. "Mommy, let's run that way into the crowd."
Following her son's lead, Quinn bolted in the opposite direction, pulling Caleb swiftly through the throngs of shoppers.
Seeing her grab Luna and run, Miles furrowed his brows, his voice dropping low.
"Quinn, I already saw you. Why are you running?"
Was this woman really that desperate to keep him away from Luna?
He lengthened his strides, calling after her in a hushed but firm tone, unable to shout in such a public space.
"Alright, feed Leo first. You don't need to wait for me."
He hung up immediately, irritating Jade further. She hadn't even finished speaking.
"Mommy, is Daddy not back yet? I'm hungry."
Jade snapped, "Hungry, hungry, that's all you ever say. Look at how chubby you've gotten."
Leo pouted unhappily. "Mommy, Grandma and Uncle never say I'm chubby. They tell me to eat more."
Jade rolled her eyes. "When your dad gets back, you need to stop eating. You have to act like you're practically starving, understand?"
Shoving a pastry into his mouth, Leo nodded. "Got it, Mommy."
...
Miles was still waiting outside the restroom. He had called Quinn several times, but she deliberately ignored them all.
His face darkened as he stared intensely at the exit, terrified he might miss them.

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....
