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?"
Miles's eye twitched, his handsome face freezing instantly.
He took a step back, forcing his expression back into its usual aloof mask.
He didn't understand what had just happened. The moment he laid eyes on the little girl, he had completely lost his composure.
"I apologize."
Luna pouted, her tiny voice laced with indignation. "You need to say sorry to Quinn and my mommy too! You scared them."
Miles went rigid. "...I'm... I'm sorry!"
For some inexplicable reason, facing the demands of this tiny girl, he found himself instinctively doing exactly what she asked.
Realizing he was taking orders from a toddler, his face grew stiff.
Worried his naturally cold demeanor was frightening the girl, he tried to soften his expression.

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
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....
