She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 380

She leaned close to Quinn's ear and whispered, "Thank goodness you were quick on your feet and dressed Caleb as a girl. Otherwise, that jerk Miles would have definitely figured it out."

She patted her chest, letting out a breathless laugh. "That was a close one!"

Quinn nodded grimly. "Next time I bring Caleb out, we definitely can't skip the disguise."

...

Miles returned to the family restaurant. Jade was already pacing with impatience, but the moment she saw him, she flipped a switch, masking her annoyance with a radiant smile.

Her voice dripped with playful teasing. "Miles, what took you so long?"

"Sorry, I had to take a few calls."

Leo crossed his arms, sounding thoroughly displeased. "Daddy, I'm hungry. I waited for you, so I haven't eaten anything except one little pastry."

Miles felt a pang of guilt for making a three-year-old wait. "It's Daddy Miles's fault. Jade, why didn't you guys eat first? You shouldn't have let Leo go hungry."

"Miles, you know how much Leo adores you. He refused to touch his silverware until you came back."

Catching his mother's pointed look, Leo grabbed Miles's hand, furrowing his little brows as he looked up with a pitiful expression.

"How could I eat before Daddy came back?"

"Mommy taught me to be polite and a good son. I want to be a good boy."

Those words drifted down like a single autumn leaf landing on the still, dark waters of Miles's heart, sending gentle ripples across the surface.

His gaze softened with affection for the mother and son. "It's Daddy Miles's fault. Let me finish eating with you, and then I'll take you to the amusement park, okay?"

The thought of Luna sent a sharp ache through his chest.

It was time to think clearly and let go of his stubborn attachments.

Luna had her own biological father. Any care or affection he offered would likely just be an unwanted intrusion.

He shouldn't be pouring all his emotional energy into Luna anyway. He needed to focus on Leo.
