Meanwhile, at the Fairmont Conservatory of Music.
The auditorium for the recital was completely packed. The audience and the proud parents in attendance broke into rapturous applause.
Cheering for their children, Judith sat in a premium center-view seat next to her son, with Jade sitting right beside her.
On the brightly lit stage, Macy's fingers danced across the grand piano's black and white keys, while Sienna bowed her cello. The two were performing a flawless duet of Schubert's Serenade.
Judith's gaze remained fixed on the stage, a proud, beaming smile plastered on her lips. She turned her head toward her son.
"Miles, look at Macy. Her piano skills are exquisite. With such incredible talent, shouldn't we seriously consider sending her to the Berklee College of Music for advanced studies?"
Miles's eyes were dark and unreadable. For a moment, he didn't respond.
Jade immediately chimed in with her sycophancy. "Judith is absolutely right. Macy is remarkably gifted. It would be a tragedy not to send her abroad to further her education."
"You see, even Jade agrees."
Miles remained silent, his mind clearly miles away.
He suddenly remembered that Quinn was attending Mrs. Pierce's private party today. He subtly turned his wrist, checking the time on his watch.
Seeing her son so unresponsive, a flash of confusion crossed Judith's face. What was going on today?
Miles usually always sat right next to Jade. Why had he deliberately chosen to sit apart from her today, making his mother sit directly between them?
It was incredibly strange.
After Macy's performance concluded, Jade and Judith went up to present her with flowers. Sienna also received a bouquet from her mother.
When it was time for group photos, Miles didn't join them.
Jade looked visibly disappointed. "Judith, is Miles busy? Why didn't he come up to take pictures with us?"
"He might have stepped away for work. We can take the photos ourselves just fine."
Judith's entire focus was currently fixated on her daughter; she had absolutely no mental energy to care about whether Jade was happy or not.
"My beautiful princess, you played marvelously! And Sienna, your cello was spectacular as well!"
"Thanks, Mom."
Her tiny eyebrows furrowed tightly. What was the Weird Uncle doing here?
Miles walked toward her, his gaze brimming with warmth. "Luna, did your godmother bring you to the party?"
Luna replied with a soft, milky voice. "Yes, Weird Uncle. My godmother brought me here to play with the other kids."
He wanted to say something more, but Luna was already laughing and running off to rejoin her friends, clearly uninterested in giving him the time of day.
A flash of disappointment hid in his eyes. He had wanted to chat with her a bit longer, but Mr. Pierce suddenly walked over. "Cedric, I thought you were tied up tonight?"
Miles gave a slight nod. "Mr. Pierce. I just finished up with work and headed straight over."
"Your wife is currently teaching a few of our friends how to do her embroidery. The technique is incredibly complex and delicate. Everyone is raving about how masterful she is."
A hint of shock flashed through Miles's eyes. Quinn knew how to do embroidery?
Why didn't he know about this?
Was it just some flashy parlor trick to entertain the crowd?

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....
