She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 49

Caleb's heart hammered against his ribs. He stared at Miles unblinkingly. Was this the guy Luna was talking about?

Could he really be... their father?

Watching how gentle the man was with this brat named Leo, an intense, painful wave of envy crashed over him. He wanted a dad to spoil him like that.

Jade instantly realized her son was the guilty party. Smoothing over her expression, she spoke softly.

"Miles, if Leo doesn't want to talk about it, let's not force him."

"Perhaps they were both crowding the table to play with it, and Leo accidentally knocked it over."

She shot the panicked staff member a frosty glare. "How much is it? I'll cover the damages."

The staff member stammered, "Ma'am, it's... five thousand dollars."

It wasn't that Jade couldn't afford it; five grand was pocket change to her.

It barely covered the cost of her designer heels, but she refused to hand it over without a fight.

After all, this random brat had just publicly humiliated her precious boy.

Her cold gaze drifted back to Caleb before scanning the surrounding crowd.

"Where are this boy's parents? He shoved my son into the table, which is why the robot fell. His family needs to foot part of the bill."

Caleb thought the woman was entirely insane. He scowled deeply.

"Lady, I never laid a finger on your kid. I warned him not to touch it, he ignored me, and then he smashed the robot."

"Are you absolutely sure you didn't push him? When the robot danced toward you, I saw you shove Leo out of the way to get a better look."

Jade smoothly set a psychological trap, manipulating the crowd into believing the boy was partially responsible and was only lying to save his absent parents some cash.

Caleb sidestepped the trap with zero effort, glaring at her with lethal seriousness.

"Ma'am, I did not touch your son. If you don't believe me, pull the security footage and see who's lying."

He turned to the staff member with absolute politeness. "Miss, please review the cameras. I refuse to be framed."
