Miles furrowed his brows. Couldn't the servants handle something like this?
Why was she asking him to peel shrimp for her?
He didn't even know how.
He called over Lily, one of the maids. "Peel a few shrimp for Jade."
Jade: "..."
Her fingers tightened imperceptibly. A flicker of humiliation crossed her heart, but she refused to let it show on her face, laughing softly to save face.
Her tone carried a hint of coquettish helplessness: "Miles, you really don't know how to peel shrimp, do you?"
Her Miles was so clueless when it came to romance. Forget it, she wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Miles genuinely didn't know how to peel them, but hearing her say that, and then seeing Zack wearing gloves and expertly removing shells across the table, struck a nerve.
He frowned. There was nothing in this world he couldn't do.
He put on a pair of disposable gloves himself and peeled a shrimp, but instead of placing it on Jade's plate, he rotated the lazy Susan until it landed right in front of Quinn.
Quinn took a sip of water, set down her glass, and noticed a perfectly peeled prawn on her plate. She glanced at the man beside her.
She assumed Zack had peeled it for her, since he was the one wearing gloves.
This...
Zack's eyes also widened in surprise. Wasn't Miles notoriously cold toward Quinn?
Why would he personally peel a shrimp for her?
"These prawns are good. Try it."
Seeing him say that, Quinn assumed he was just being polite. Without making a fuss, she picked it up, dipped it in sauce, and ate it.
"Thank you, it is quite good."
Sitting across from them, Jade gripped her chopsticks tightly, lowering her eyes. She was terrified she wouldn't be able to control her fury.
Miles actually peeled a shrimp for Quinn, but not for her?

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....
