Meanwhile, Alastair Sterling’s investigators discovered that his son had inexplicably purchased a modest three-bedroom apartment in an unremarkable neighborhood.
The report also noted he was close to a woman who worked as a teacher at a training center, and her two children called him "Daddy."
Staring at the dossier on his desk, Alastair clasped his hands behind his back and paced the study, his brow heavily furrowed in displeasure.
Just then, Sienna Sterling walked in looking for her father and was startled by the files on his desk. "Dad, are you having my brother followed?"
"Wait... isn't this little Luna?"
Alastair's frown deepened. "What, you know this little munchkin?"
Sienna answered honestly, "Dad, she's Quinn's goddaughter. How could I not know her? I saw her and her brother at Evelyn's birthday gala."
Alastair pressed on, "Then tell me, what exactly is your brother's relationship with these kids? Why are people reporting that they call him Daddy?"
"Huh? No way, why would they call Ethan that? Dad, where on earth are you hearing this?"
Sienna felt a twinge of anxiety, remembering that she had also heard a child calling him "Daddy" over the phone recently.
At the time, she hadn't known whose child it was. It wasn't until Evelyn's birthday gala, when she saw Ethan expertly and naturally scoop Luna into his arms, that the pieces began to fit together.
She had a bold suspicion: perhaps her brother's relationship with Quinn's best friend, Yara Chase, was far more complicated than anyone realized.
Could this little girl actually be Ethan's daughter?
"Never mind where I heard it. No wonder your brother rejected every single match I picked out for him without even going on a single date. Turns out, he's been hiding a secret family out there."
"Does he really have that little faith in his own father? As long as the woman comes from a clean background without any messy history, it's not like I'd outright refuse. Is it really necessary to guard against me like this?"

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....
