...
The next morning, Miles was surprisingly absent from Regency Bay.
For the past few days, because the kids were around, he had Hunter move all his work to the home study so he could stay close.
Logically, with the children leaving today, he should have stayed to see them off.
Instead, he was sitting alone in his CEO office at York Plaza, brooding in solitude.
Luna had wanted to say goodbye to him. "Grandma Gail, the Weird Uncle didn't come down for breakfast today."
Gail smiled gently. "Sweetheart, Mr. York left for the office bright and early this morning."
Both Jack and Gail knew the truth: their young master simply couldn't bear to watch the kids walk out the door, so he had fled to the office.
Caleb politely said goodbye to the staff, and he and his mother got into the car. Tristan drove them back to Fairview Apartments.
Back at York Plaza, Miles received a call from Jack confirming the two darlings had departed.
A shadow of hurt crossed his handsome face. "Did they... leave any messages?"
"Yes, sir. Both of them did."
The confirmation brought a flicker of light back to Miles's eyes. His tone turned urgent. "What did they say?"
"Little Luna said you need to make sure you eat properly and take care of your health, and that she'll miss you."
"Little Caleb said you should take good care of yourself and live well, even if you're alone."
Hearing their innocent words, the suffocating pain in Miles's chest eased significantly, and a bit of life returned to his features.
But why had Caleb phrased it like that? *'Live well, even if you're alone?'*
It felt layered, like there was a hidden meaning.
Then again, he was just a little boy. He probably didn't mean anything by it. Miles shook it off, figuring he was overthinking.
"Since the kids have already left, I'll just have Quinn pass along the gifts the next time I see her."
"Don't bother. Quinn won't accept anything you give to her kids."
Miles might not understand everything about Quinn, but on this matter, he could definitively reject Jade on her behalf.
Seeing him speak for Quinn so protectively felt like a jagged rock being wedged into Jade's chest—not fatal, but incredibly aggravating.
"Miles, Leo genuinely knows he was wrong. He won't do it again if he ever sees them. I guarantee it!"
Miles had zero interest in dragging the conversation out. He massaged his brow. "The matter is closed. You can go now."
"Alright. But don't forget, tomorrow is Leo's first day of preschool. He and I will be waiting for you at the house tomorrow morning."
"I haven't forgotten."
Once Leo was officially enrolled in school, Miles wouldn't need to be so hands-on anymore. He would have finally fulfilled his promise to her.

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....
