Quinn rubbed the small bump on her forehead until the swelling went down slightly.
She had come out to the rooftop terrace to get some fresh air. Surprisingly, she ran into Ethan. After exchanging a few words with some foreign investors, he walked over to her.
Quinn's mood instantly lifted. The gloom vanished from her face, her eyes bright with a smile.
"Ethan, I didn't expect to see you here."
Ethan looked at her, his eyes filled with admiration rather than surprise.
Miles had called him earlier to mention he was attending this gala, so he had guessed Quinn would be here too.
He had been looking for her since he arrived. When he saw Miles walking side-by-side with Jade, his gaze had turned icy, his fists clenching.
Who exactly was his wife?
He abandoned his actual spouse to parade around with Jade like they were joined at the hip.
Having zero respect for either of them, he had deliberately avoided crossing their paths.
"Quinn, I just got back into town."
His sharp eyes quickly caught the slight swelling on her forehead. "What happened to your head?"
"Just... a bug bite from out on the terrace earlier. It's already going down."
Quinn hadn't expected him to be so observant.
She quickly changed the subject. "You had an emergency to take care of last time we spoke. Is everything sorted out?"
Ethan had successfully recovered his mother's belongings. A gentle smile touched his lips. "It's all handled. I missed taking the kids to the movies last time. If you're free this weekend, I'd love to make it up to them."
Quinn had already promised her time to Mrs. Pierce, so there was a scheduling conflict.
"Next time, Ethan. The kids already have plans this weekend."

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....
