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.

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....
