She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 42

Those words made Quinn tense up. She knew exactly how fiercely Judith York protected her son.

Judith already despised Quinn, furious that her perfect son would soon have the stain of a divorce on his flawless record.

If Judith found out that Quinn's brother was throwing Miles's name around town and using the York family's prestige as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder...

Given Judith's ruthlessly protective nature and zero tolerance for manipulation, a simple warning would be the least of his worries.

She would likely show no mercy, tossing him straight into a cell for fraud and defamation without breaking a sweat.

Jack stepped in. "Miss Macy, Ms. Avery was left in the rain a few days ago by Mr. York, and she still hasn't fully recovered. She looks quite pale. Why don't we let Gail brew the tea for you and Jade?"

Jade shot Jack a subtle, assessing glance. He hadn't said a word when Quinn was slaving over soup for Miles yesterday.

It seemed she had underestimated Quinn; she had already won over the staff at Regency Bay.

Macy scoffed coldly. "Jack, look at her dressed to go out. She looks perfectly fine to me. Where does she look sick?"

Quinn swallowed the heavy lump of frustration in her chest. A flash of exhausted resignation crossed her eyes as her clenched fingers slowly relaxed.

"Macy, I'll go make your tea. Just drop the subject."

Left with no choice because of her brother, she turned and headed for the kitchen.

The York household always had imported saffron steeping daily, reserved exclusively for Miles. All she had to do was simmer it for about fifty minutes.

Seeing her retreat to the kitchen, Macy wore a look of triumphant satisfaction. "Jade, I just avenged you."

Catching sight of Miles descending the stairs, Jade's expression shifted. She turned to Macy and spoke in a deliberately soft, gentle tone.

"Macy, was it really appropriate to make Quinn do that? Even though she and Miles are only in a contract marriage, we shouldn't treat her like a maid."

Miles looked over, a glimmer of deep appreciation in his eyes. Jade's heart leaped, and she returned his gaze with tender affection.
