Marcus had no choice but to hit 'Accept', replying to Quinn: [Thank you, Ms. Avery. But this is more than enough. If you ever need my services in the future, just let me know.]
Quinn: [Thank you, Marcus. As long as you don't think it's too little. I was worried I underpaid you.]
Marcus's eyes twitched as he typed back: [You're too kind, Ms. Avery.]
"Quinn, there's a bouquet of flowers here for you."
"What?"
Yara walked over holding a bouquet of White Tulips of Reconciliation, centered with a single golden one. She handed them to Quinn. "Let me look up what this means."
She did a quick internet search and found that white tulips symbolized tenderness, respect, and reconciliation.
"What's this supposed to mean? Who sent them?"
Hearing the words "respect" and "reconciliation,"
Quinn's face froze.
She immediately thought of Miles. Outside The Sovereign Table, she had told him he would never understand how to respect anyone.
Did he send these?
But she wasn't entirely sure, since Miles hadn't sent any message.
Yara searched through the bouquet but didn't find a card. She asked curiously,
"Who sends flowers without leaving a card?"
"These tulips smell pretty nice, though."
The two kids bounded over in curiosity, their beautiful eyes blinking. With their sweet, milky voices, they asked, "Mommy, did someone send you flowers?"
"Was it a man or a woman?"
Luna stroked her chin thoughtfully. "I bet it was a lady. Probably one of Mommy's coworkers."
"No way, it was definitely a man. Mommy is so beautiful, someone must have a crush on her and sent flowers to show it."
"Oh no, I'm going to go tell Daddy!"
The two little ones trotted off to find their daddy. Ethan was already walking over from the terrace, his posture elegant and a warm smile resting on his face.
However, the fleeting trace of bitterness at the corner of his lips betrayed his true feelings.
He grew annoyed. Did this woman not see his message, or was she just choosing to ignore it?
This was the first time he had ever sent a woman flowers, yet he was getting absolutely nothing in return.
Right at that moment, his phone rang. He assumed Quinn had opted to call instead of text.
But when he picked up the phone from the coffee table and saw the caller ID, the spark of anticipation in his dark eyes instantly vanished.
He pretended not to see it and tossed it aside.
When Jade realized he wasn't answering, she gripped her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white.
Did Miles not hear it?
Hadn't they agreed he would come keep Leo company tonight? Why was he a no-show again?
Was he just brushing them off earlier?
She had no choice but to send a text: [Miles, didn't you say you were coming over to see Leo tonight?]
Hearing the notification chime, Miles thought Quinn had finally replied. But when he opened the screen, all he saw was a text from Jade.

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....
