She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 5

He had come to the tech exhibition center to negotiate an artificial intelligence strategy with a foreign team. His assistant, Hunter, followed closely behind, speaking in low tones about the upcoming schedule.

Over by the flowerbeds, Quinn stood holding a beautifully delicate toddler in her arms.

His gaze narrowed sharply, and, driven by some inexplicable impulse, he walked toward them.

Quinn never expected to run into Miles here, completely exposing herself and Luna.

A violently cold shock ran through her body, and the gentle warmth in her eyes was instantly replaced by sheer panic.

Her brain short-circuited. Instinctively, she tightened her grip around Luna.

Yara, though equally stunned, recovered quickly. Suppressing her own terror, she stepped forward to block Miles's predatory stare.

"Oh, Luna, why are you jumping into Quinn's arms again? Come back to Mommy."

Luna and Caleb had long established a secret protocol with their mother and Yara. If they ran into people who might recognize them, they were to instantly switch to calling Yara their mother.

Luna's large eyes darted around intelligently before she chimed in with her sweet, milky voice. "Mommy, I just missed Quinn."

Miles's gaze swept past the woman blocking his path, landing directly on Quinn with an intimidating, authoritative weight. His dark eyes were like bottomless abysses.

Finally, his focus shifted to the little girl in her arms, his gaze piercing and intense.

It was as if he wanted to scrutinize this sudden child from the inside out.

The girl looked to be about two or three years old. Her hair was tied into two soft little buns, and her rosy cheeks were undeniably adorable.

The oppressive tension in the air grew heavier, so thick that even the wind seemed to stop blowing.

Quinn instinctively wanted to dodge his stare, grab Luna, and run, but her body felt nailed to the pavement. She couldn't move an inch.

Terrified that Quinn might break under the pressure, Yara quickly took Luna into her own arms and challenged Miles.

"Who are you? You're scaring my kid."

Miles completely ignored Yara. "Quinn, answer me. What are you doing here?"
