She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 409

Luna looked up at him with bright, sparkling eyes, her baby voice perfectly sweet. "Weird Uncle, I'm not ignoring you. I'm just packing my bag."

Miles slowly pulled his hand back, failing to mask the raw devastation in his eyes.

Gail watched her boss's utterly defeated expression and let out a heavy, internal sigh.

If the man had just treated Mrs. York with decency from the start, they would probably have kids this age by now, wouldn't they?

Seeing how adorable and lovable someone else's children were must be eating him alive with sheer envy.

Luna accidentally dropped her eraser. Miles immediately started to crouch down to grab it for her, but Caleb beat him to the punch, swiftly snatching it off the floor.

"Luna, you dropped your eraser."

Luna beamed at him. "Thanks, Caleb!"

"Godmother should be done soon. Let's go wait for her downstairs, Caleb."

But Miles wasn't ready to let these two "cousins" walk out the door just yet. It was incredibly rare that he got to see Luna these days.

Even though he had supposedly crushed his desire to adopt Luna as his goddaughter, vowing to redirect all his fatherly affection toward Leo.

Yet the second he saw Luna again, all those deeply buried instincts wrapped around his heart like violently fast-growing ivy.

An unexplainable, agonizing tug of affection seized him completely, entirely beyond his control.

The profound bond felt almost innate, deeply tethered to his soul. He simply couldn't fathom where this relentless obsession for the child was coming from.

Seeing the two toddlers preparing to march out, panic set in.

"Luna... I wanted to ask you something."

Miles suddenly recalled the little girl with the braided hair he had seen at the Starlight Galleria. He was burning with curiosity.

Why was Caleb always hanging out with Luna, but that little girl, Skylar, was never around?

Logically, shouldn't he be much closer to his own biological sister?

Caleb froze for a fraction of a second but recovered flawlessly. "Yep! Weird Uncle, she's exactly the same age as me."

"Then why isn't she named 'Luna,' but 'Skylar' instead?"

He just felt that "Skylar Chase" sounded incredibly clunky. It felt completely fake, like something fabricated on the spot.

'Luna' and 'Caleb' sounded completely natural together, perfectly suited for biological siblings.

How did Caleb and Skylar make any sense as siblings?

Luna felt a spike of panic, her soft fingers squeezing Caleb's hand tighter. Had the Weird Uncle figured it out?

Mommy and Aunt Yara had expressly forbidden them from ever letting the Weird Uncle know they were actual siblings; it would be a complete disaster.

She pressed closer to her brother, giving him a deeply helpless look.

Caleb, however, remained cool as ice. He answered like a miniature adult, his voice high-pitched but his articulation perfectly crisp. "Weird Uncle, why couldn't she be named Skylar? Luna, Caleb, Skylar... they all mean bright and brilliant. The three of us are going to light up the sky together."
