Miles's expression hardened with suspicion. "Why were you in the nursery? Didn't I tell you it was still airing out? What were you doing in there?"
Leo quickly hid a marker behind his back. His mother had told him the room wasn't meant for him at all, but for that wild child, Luna. He had been so furious.
So he took out his markers and scribbled all over the walls, drawing pig faces and leaving a chaotic mess of ink everywhere.
If his father wasn't going to let him stay in that room, then nobody else was going to stay there either.
A maid happened to walk in to clean, and upon seeing the walls of the nursery, she let out a horrified gasp!
"Oh my! Leo, why did you color all over the walls?"
The maid panicked. Seeing her boss standing there, she pointed into the room.
"Sir, Leo... he ruined the walls."
Miles's face changed instantly. He stepped into the nursery, his eyes meeting a completely vandalized wall.
Different colors of ink were aggressively scribbled over each other, looking like a chaotic bug fight.
His brows snapped together in a fierce scowl, and the temperature in the room plummeted.
He spoke, his voice tight with suppressed anger:
"Leo, what did you do?"
Leo's small body shrank back. He lowered his ink-stained hands, his eyelashes fluttering in panic.
He put on a perfectly innocent, terrified expression, his soft voice stammering:
"D-Daddy, I... I didn't mean to."
"I just forgot... I thought it was a coloring book."
He pressed his lips together and hung his head, looking exactly like a child who knew he had made a mistake and was terrified of being punished.
But Quinn noticed his eyes darting around shiftily beneath his lowered lids.
This wasn't an accident.
It was entirely deliberate.

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....
