She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 433

He was here too. Did that mean Skylar was also around?

Miles couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen Skylar's face somewhere before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

A blonde-haired boy grew incredibly curious about what Caleb looked like and leaned in close.

"Caleb, are we good friends?"

"We are friends who met today."

But to use the term 'good friends,' Caleb had a very strict internal metric. Having only met a few times, he wasn't going to throw the label around lightly.

The boy asked again, "Then can you take off your mask and let us see your face?"

Caleb shook his head, rejecting the request in fluent English.

But the six-year-old boy was still burning with curiosity about what he looked like.

Another kid laughed. "Caleb, do you have a big scar on your face or something?"

"Or maybe you're just really ugly, and that's why you won't let us look?"

The blonde boy quickly reassured him, "Don't worry! We don't judge our friends by how they look."

Caleb continued to shake his head in refusal. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any scars. My mommy made me wear this mask to protect me."

Seeing Caleb's demeanor turn cold, the other children didn't push the issue any further and ran off to play on the swings.

Miles's gaze relentlessly tracked the boy's movements. Perhaps it was because of Luna.

He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity toward the boy and found it hard to look away.

As the kids pushed the swings, they started pushing a bit too hard.

The kid sharing the swing seat with Caleb got scared. Gripping the ropes wasn't enough.

As the swing arced high into the air, the panicked kid desperately reached out with his other hand, trying to grab onto anything to steady himself.

In his frantic flailing, he accidentally snagged Caleb's mask and ripped it off.

"Ah!"

The group of kids had already been incredibly curious about Caleb's face.

Caleb instantly remembered his sister's warning. Terrified that the Weird Uncle might see him, he frantically twisted his body away. "Give me my mask back."

Up on the second floor, Mr. Pierce was in the middle of introducing Miles to a few other elites in their circle. At the exact moment the mask was pulled off, Miles had politely averted his gaze.

Hearing the loud chorus of gasps from the kids below, though he couldn't make out the words, he shifted his eyes back to the yard.

Caleb snatched the mask back from the apologetic kid and hurriedly secured it over his face.

0.1 seconds. By just a fraction of a heartbeat, Miles had missed seeing Caleb's face.

And just like that, the perfect opportunity slipped by.

Miles remained completely oblivious to the true face beneath Caleb's mask, utterly unaware of what the children were marveling at.

He withdrew his gaze once more, returning his attention to the conversation with the CEOs.

Luna ran over with a few other kids, hearing the group laughing and chatting. "Caleb is so handsome! Why on earth would he wear a mask?"

"I totally thought he was going to be ugly, but I never expected..."
