She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 437

Since the others were speaking English, Luna couldn't quite follow. She looked at her brother. "Caleb, what are those people saying?"

Caleb understood perfectly. He leaned close to his sister's ear and whispered, "They're saying we look like a family of four."

"They said we are very handsome and adorable."

"They also said Godmother and the Weird Uncle are so good-looking that it makes sense they'd have such beautiful kids."

Luna pouted and shot Miles a disapproving look. "Weird Uncle, those people are misunderstanding. Why aren't you going over there to correct them?"

Miles rubbed his nose. "Luna, people are going to talk no matter what. Let them say what they want."

Luna was not satisfied with this. "Weird Uncle, that's not right! I have a Mommy and a Daddy! My brother and I aren't your kids. It's bad to let people get the wrong idea."

A sharp pang of grief hit Miles. It felt as if a blade had been twisted into his chest, making it hard to breathe...

"Luna..."

Luna was already focused on her egg tart and didn't spare him another glance.

"Godmother, I want to call Daddy soon."

"I haven't seen Daddy all day, and I miss him so much."

Caleb seemed to notice that the uncle sitting across from them was turning visibly paler. For some inexplicable reason, his own chest felt a tiny, agonizing prick of sympathetic sorrow.

It was a bizarre sensation. He picked up a piece of fruit with his fork and held it out. "Luna, try this. It's really good."

Luna smiled sweetly. "You eat some too, Caleb!"

"Godmother, you eat some too."

She addressed everyone except Miles, treating him like he was entirely invisible.

Miles fought down the suffocating misery in his chest, forcing a strained rasp from his throat. "Quinn, I'll drive you all back later."

"No need. We'll—"

Miles cut off her rejection before she could even finish her sentence.

Mr. and Mrs. Pierce walked over to their table. "Quinn, we had the kitchen prepare some Eastern dishes specifically for you over there."

Quinn smiled gracefully, displaying perfect etiquette. "Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Mrs. Pierce."

Mrs. Pierce looked down at the two children sitting beside Quinn and smiled warmly. "It was the least I could do. My son really adored the two children you brought today. He was hoping to invite them over for a playdate."

Caleb remembered the Pierce couple's little boy, Darcy, very well, and replied flawlessly in English. "Hello, Mrs. Pierce. I was very happy to meet Darcy too."

Darcy was the Pierces' youngest child, a blonde, blue-eyed boy about two years older than Caleb.

He smiled brightly. "Caleb, it was really nice meeting you too!"

Darcy glanced at Miles, a flicker of confusion crossing his eyes. Was this Caleb's Daddy?

They looked exactly alike.

He had seen Caleb's face beneath the mask earlier, so the moment he laid eyes on Miles, he immediately concluded that this man had to be Caleb's father.
