Quinn stared at the brand-new clothes. All she could think about was how the clothes she used to receive were always the leftovers Jade and Macy had picked through.
Even the pearl jewelry she once got was just a promotional freebie tossed in with a purchase Miles made for Jade. She was terrified of her children getting hurt the same way she had been.
She spoke flatly, "Gail, please take all of this away. The kids won't be wearing these."
Thinking about all the perfect outfits she had prepared at Fairview Apartments that were left behind, her brow furrowed in frustration.
If Miles hadn't dragged them here by force, they wouldn't even need to look at his handouts right now.
"But Mrs. York, Mr. York bought these specially for the little ones..."
"Gail, just leave two sets of pajamas. That's it."
"Would you like me to draw a bath for them?"
"Gail, they aren't used to this place yet. It's better if I bathe them myself."
"Alright. Let me know if you need anything at all."
Miles had spent the entire afternoon playing with the children before finally retreating to his study to catch up on work.
Checking the time, he realized it was dinner. He headed out to call the kids down to eat.
The two toddlers were already in their pajamas, bouncing down the stairs right behind Miles. Watching the scene unfold, Quinn's eyes grew slightly red.
"Why are you walking so slowly? Are you really going to make the kids wait for an adult?"
Quinn averted her gaze, trying to keep her voice steady. "I'm not walking slowly."
Gail had prepared steamed egg with shrimp, fresh shrimp paste, and shellfish. She had checked with Quinn earlier to ask about any dietary restrictions.
Quinn had told her the kids ate pretty much anything, as long as it wasn't spicy, didn't have garlic, and lacked cilantro. They had no allergies.

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....
