She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 478

This... this pearl necklace was just a freebie Jade didn't want?

She didn't let any of her anger show on her face, but a bitter, burning sensation tightened in her chest.

Miles had told her these pearls suited her perfectly. It turned out they were just a complimentary toss-in.

Her long lashes lowered, hiding the humiliation and sting in her eyes as a wave of degradation surged up her throat.

Seeing her reaction, Jade looked incredibly smug before turning on her heels and strutting off in her high heels.

Quinn's chest felt unbearably tight. She pushed open her door, stepped inside, and immediately yanked the pearl necklace from her throat.

She pulled the velvet box from her bag, shoved the necklace inside, and tossed it into the bottom of her drawer.

Her fingers clenched tightly. She would never touch another thing Miles gave her.

That dress last time was just a hand-me-down from Jade and Macy.

But this was even worse. A literal freebie, and he had the nerve to say it suited her.

Ha...

Was she only ever meant to have other people's leftovers? Only fit for things Jade didn't want?

...

Later that night, when Miles finished his work in the study and returned to the master bedroom, Quinn was already in bed.

Not knowing if she was asleep, he proactively took the sofa.

After ten minutes or so, he called out softly, "Quinn, are you asleep?"

Quinn had been tossing and turning, completely unable to sleep until she drank a cup of soothing tea Gail had brewed.

Hearing only her shallow, rhythmic breathing, Miles knew she was out. He grabbed a blanket and quietly lay down beside her.

Seeing her clutching a giant teddy bear, his brows furrowed.

How old was she, still sleeping with a stuffed animal?

He stared at the bear, and the bear seemed to stare right back.

Realizing he was having a staring contest with an inanimate object, a self-deprecating smirk crossed his lips.
