Caleb spoke in a sweet, childish voice, "Mister, my name is Stella."
"Stella? Caleb Chase is your brother, right? He's Caleb, and you're Stella?"
"Caleb is my brother. My name is Skylar."
Luna, Caleb, Skylar.
Miles felt a strange sense of dissonance, though he couldn't quite put it into words.
It was almost as if one of those three names was completely fabricated.
He swallowed the bizarre suspicion and softened his expression.
"Luna really likes you, and since it's our first time meeting, I don't have a gift prepared. How about I take you to buy some snacks?"
Caleb took a step back, avoiding his touch, and politely replied, "Thank you! But you don't need to trouble yourself, Mister. Quinn will buy some for me."
Assuming the child was just shy, Miles awkwardly withdrew his hand.
There was something hauntingly familiar about this little girl's mannerisms.
"By the way, why didn't your sister Luna come today?"
At the mention of his sister, Caleb didn't show a hint of panic. His voice remained soft and sweet, like a warm marshmallow.
"Luna went to Marine World with her mom and daddy. Quinn and I are going to meet up with them soon."
Hearing that Luna was being accompanied by her 'daddy,' the warmth on Miles's face instantly froze, and that suffocating wave of bitter jealousy washed over him again.
Ring, ring, ring...
Jade called. Miles wasn't in the mood to answer and hit decline, but she immediately called back, forcing him to pick up.
"Jade... you and Leo go ahead and eat first. I have some business to take care of, but I'll be there soon."
Leo's whiny voice echoed through the speaker. "Daddy, come back! I want to eat!"
Miles kept his tone gentle. "Be a good boy, Leo. You and your mom eat first. I'll be right back."

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....
