Seeing the caller ID, Miles immediately declined the call.
"Grandma, I remember you love the duck soup here."
He ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her.
Ingrid quickly took over. "Young Master, let me handle this. You just focus on eating."
Not long after Miles dismissed the call, his phone rang again.
"Can't even enjoy a meal in peace."
Catching sight of the name 'Jade' flashing on the screen, Evelyn set her silverware down, her face sinking with displeasure.
Miles kept his voice gentle. "Grandma, you two eat first. I'll just step out to take this and come right back."
Seeing the relentless calls, his brows knitted together. He grabbed his phone and stepped outside.
As soon as he answered, Jade's sweet, delicate voice drifted through. "Miles, why aren't you answering?"
Miles's tone was icy. "What is it?"
Sensing his persistent coldness, Jade's heart seized. "It's Leo... He wants to talk to you. He says he hasn't seen his daddy in days."
Miles glanced back toward the suite, a flash of impatience crossing his face. "I'm busy right now. We'll talk another day."
"Miles, just say a few words to him, otherwise he won't stop crying."
Jade secretly pinched Leo. The boy instantly burst into loud sobs, a sound so pathetic Miles couldn't bear to refuse.
"Put Leo on. I'll talk to him."
"Thank you, Miles."
Leo was wailing uncontrollably. "Daddy, waaah... when are you coming to see me?"
Miles intentionally softened his voice. "Daddy Miles is a bit busy these days. I'll come see you when I have some free time."

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....
