She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 427

He furrowed his brow, abandoning the thought of even opening the chat window. A suffocating wave of frustration washed over him as he stood up and headed for the stairs.

Gail smiled. "Sir, the bag you bought for Mrs. York is absolutely stunning. She's going to love it when she gets back."

Miles’s expression darkened, and he didn't offer a single word in response.

Gail glanced at Jack. "What's gotten into him?"

Jack shook his head. He had no idea either, though it was clear their employer was far from pleased.

...

Not long after Miles went upstairs, his sister Macy called. "Miles, Jade said you weren't answering your phone. Are you busy?"

"Yeah, I'm tied up."

"Well, give Jade a call back when you're done. Leo has been throwing a tantrum all evening because you didn't come to see him. Jade tried comforting him for ages, but he just won't listen."

Miles rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Got it. I'll call her now."

After hanging up, he immediately dialed Jade's number. "Miles... didn't you say you were coming over to see Leo tonight? He's been waiting for you all day."

"Daddy, why did you break your promise? You said you were coming, but you didn't!"

Leo sobbed through the speaker. "Do you not love me anymore, Daddy?"

Hearing the boy cry stirred a pang of guilt in Miles's chest. He really was at fault today.

He softened his tone to coax the boy. "Leo, Daddy Miles still loves you. I just got caught up with some things today. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Hearing that he would visit tomorrow, Leo instinctively looked up at his mother.

Seeing Jade nod, Leo finally choked back his tears and said pitifully,

"Okay, but tomorrow you have to take me to The Storybook Castle at Regency Bay."

Miles pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to refuse. "Alright, Daddy Miles promises."

Since Luna wouldn't be coming to Regency Bay anymore, he might as well let Leo play in The Storybook Castle.

Ignorant to the tension, Leo looked up and tugged at Miles's sleeve, demanding in his sweet, childish voice, "Daddy, I want to go again!"

Jade had just returned from the restroom. Seeing Quinn back, a sinister glint flashed through her eyes.

Yet, she called out in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Quinn, you're back."

"Miles said he hadn't seen Leo and me in a few days and invited us over to Regency Bay to play. You don't mind, do you?"

Quinn merely parted her lips and replied flatly, "Do whatever you want."

With that, she retreated to her own room, leaving Jade to glare daggers at her back.

Shameless woman!

If it weren't for her, why would Miles be distancing himself?

He wouldn't even answer her calls anymore. If she didn't have Leo to use as leverage, Miles would have completely iced her out by now.
