She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 385

Hunter stepped up beside her, gently whispering a reminder. "Mrs. York, you need to take Mr. York's arm and walk in together. It's standard etiquette for a banquet."

Quinn knew that perfectly well.

She just didn't want to touch him. But under Hunter's prompting, she had no choice.

She gingerly slipped her hand into the crook of his arm, keeping as much physical distance between their bodies as possible.

The man's posture stiffened slightly. His face remained expressionless, but it felt as though something had gently grazed his heart.

He tightened his grip on her arm and muttered under his breath, "Stand closer. What's with the massive gap?"

Quinn rolled her eyes internally, but on the surface, she maintained a flawless, elegant smile for the onlookers.

The multinational executives turned their heads, thoroughly impressed by the striking Eastern couple.

"What a breathtaking pair! Truly a feast for the eyes!"

Compliments rippled through the crowd. "The gentleman has such an imposing, aristocratic presence, and the lady is absolutely radiant. Her elegance is on another level."

"They are the very definition of a match made in heaven!"

Some had already recognized him. After all, Miles had been featured on the Forbes Billionaires list, a titan known throughout the global business world.

"Is that..."

"That must be his girlfriend, or that childhood sweetheart we've heard about, the heiress to the Winter Group?"

Every word drifted perfectly into Jade's ears. A venomous fire of jealousy ignited in her eyes. What right did Quinn have to stand by Miles's side?

*A breathtaking pair? A match made in heaven?*

*Her?*

She was just a maid's daughter! She wasn't even fit to tie Jade's shoes!

Why should Quinn get to parade around in public, stealing the spotlight that rightfully belonged to her?

Jade's eyes widened with hurt. "You don't think I did this on purpose, do you?"

Miles instantly felt he was overthinking things. Jade wouldn't do something like that. It must have just been a bizarre coincidence.

"Jade, I didn't mean it like that."

Jade lowered her eyes submissively. "If I had known I'd be matching with Quinn, I would have worn a different dress."

"There's no need. You look better in it than she does."

Deep down, he knew Quinn wore it significantly better, but he would never admit it aloud.

Jade's eyes sparkled, a triumphant smirk tugging at her lips. "Really, Miles?"

Miles replied absently, "Yeah."

With practiced ease, Jade hooked her arm through Miles's other side. Her movements were so familiar, natural, and intimate, as though she had done it a thousand times before.
