Miles accompanied Jade and Leo to the prestigious international preschool. By pure coincidence, he spotted Luna in the courtyard, and his gaze instantly locked onto her.
Jade, however, spotted Quinn talking to some of the school administrators. A cold, venomous glare flashed in her eyes.
*What is this shameless woman doing here?*
*Did she somehow find out Miles was getting Leo into this top-tier school, so she deliberately dragged her two feral brats here to grab his attention?*
*Trying to use Miles to get those little bastards into an elite preschool? As if they deserve it!*
Miles began walking toward Luna. When the little girl saw him, her eyes widened in surprise.
Her little legs carried her toward him, her sweet voice laced with confusion. "Weird Uncle, what are you doing here?"
But the moment she noticed Jade and Leo standing just a short distance behind him, she froze, instinctively taking a few steps back.
"Luna... come here to Uncle..."
Seeing her back away to put distance between them, a pang of deep disappointment settled between his brows.
"Weird Uncle, are you here to help Leo get into school?"
Luna had been watching all the parents bring their kids to school, and there was a clear look of longing in her eyes.
But Mommy had promised her that once they moved away from Fairmont, she and her brother would get to start school soon, too.
Seeing Luna monopolizing his father's attention again, Leo's face twisted into an ugly, aggressive scowl. He wanted to charge forward and shove her away so she couldn't stand so close to his dad.
But remembering his mother's strict warnings, he choked down his anger and stayed put.
Jade led Leo over, flashing a picture-perfect, gentle smile. "Miles, isn't that Quinn over there?"
Quinn was actually just there to pick up some documents. She had taken on a new freelance gig translating legal files for the school, and her contact had asked her to come grab the hard copies.
"Quinn, are you here trying to ask about enrolling the kids?" Jade asked smoothly.
Quinn had absolutely zero interest in entertaining Jade. They weren't exactly on speaking terms.
When Quinn completely ignored her, Miles assumed she was just embarrassed. Well-intentioned, he stepped forward to intervene.

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....
