Miles's eye twitched. So... there was actually a profound meaning behind the names. He had just been overthinking it.
But it still gnawed at him. He desperately wanted to see Caleb's face. Why was the kid always hiding behind that damn mask?
"Caleb, I've seen your sister before. She's incredibly cute and beautiful. If you two are twins, do you look exactly alike?"
Caleb's heart practically skipped a beat. He absolutely could not let this man picture Skylar as a little boy! If he did, he'd realize the kid was basically his exact miniature clone!
His dark eyes remained totally blank, his little brow furrowing ever so slightly. "Weird Uncle, twins don't always look identical. My sister is gorgeous, but I look totally different. She looks like our mommy, and I look like my daddy."
With that, he tugged harder on Luna's hand. "Come on, Luna. Aunt Yara should be out of the bathroom by now. Let's go find her."
Luna nodded emphatically. "Okay!"
Gail piped up, "Sweethearts, let Grandma Gail take you down. Don't go getting lost."
"Mr. York, I'll take them down now."
Caleb practically dragged Luna out of the room alongside Gail. Watching the two toddlers hand in hand, looking even closer than real siblings, a wave of profound warmth washed over Miles.
An utterly absurd thought suddenly hijacked his brain. How incredible would it be if those two gorgeous children were actually his?
Unfortunately... there were no "ifs" in reality.
He was honestly horrified by his own delusion. How on earth did such a wildly inappropriate thought even pop into his head?
It had to be his lingering obsession with making Luna his goddaughter; that was the only reason his mind was producing such terrifying ideas. He forcefully crushed the chaotic thoughts back down.
The mere realization that once he and Quinn divorced, he would completely lose every single connection to Luna left him feeling suffocated and violently sick to his stomach.
It felt as if someone had shoved a wad of wet cotton down his throat, cutting off his air supply entirely.
When Quinn finally spotted the children downstairs, she instantly took their little hands in hers, her voice a gentle murmur.

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....
