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."
Luna's sweet little voice chimed in. "We missed you so much! I was going to call you right after talking to Mommy, but you're already together! Hehe..."
Thrilled to see her parents in the same frame, Luna quickly took a screenshot.
Caleb decided to make the screenshot his tablet's wallpaper later. His mom and Daddy looked incredibly sharp and perfectly matched in their formal wear.
Luna pouted her rosy lips and blinked her big eyes. "Mommy, I want a hug! You look so pretty today—like a Girl Next Door, not a mommy at all."
Flattered by her daughter's praise, Quinn chuckled. "I'll give you a big hug as soon as I get home, okay?"
Standing right behind her, the angle on the screen made it look as if Ethan had his arms wrapped affectionately around Quinn.
Seeing this, Luna was overjoyed and snapped a few more screenshots.
Noticing the deep affection in Daddy's eyes, Luna wished she could reach through the phone and hug them both.
They looked like the perfect couple. No wonder she and her brother were so cute!

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....
