She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 541

Quinn Avery returned to Fairview Apartments just as Ethan Leigh was arriving as well.

The two kids ran over to the neighboring three-bedroom apartment to play. "Daddy, you must be tired today," Luna said. "Let me massage your shoulders."

"Daddy's not tired at all," Ethan replied.

Noticing a colorful Paper Crane in Luna's hand, Ethan smiled. "Since when do you know how to fold these, Luna?"

"I didn't fold it, Daddy. The Weird Uncle folded it for me. Isn't it pretty?"

Ethan's expression faltered slightly, clearly surprised that Miles York would bother learning arts and crafts just for the kids.

"It's very pretty."

"By the way, is your mom back?"

"She is! She's next door talking to Aunt Quinn. Oh, and I saw the Weird Uncle today too. I don't know what Mommy gave him, but he looked super angry."

Since Luna had been sitting in the car, she hadn't heard their conversation, but she could tell the Weird Uncle was absolutely furious.

In the room next door, Quinn was telling Yara Chase about her encounter with Miles.

Yara gasped. "What? Miles actually swatted the Divorce Agreement away?"

"What is wrong with that jerk? Hasn't he been dying to end this contract marriage? Why is he refusing to just let it go now that the time is up?"

Quinn was just as baffled. "Maybe his ego couldn't handle the fact that I—the 'Client's' subordinate in his eyes—was the one to initiate the termination."

"Tomorrow, after I get back from the hospital, I'll make him sign it."

"Or maybe he'll have someone draft a new agreement tomorrow and force me to sign some sort of NDA."

Just as Ethan was about to step through the doorway, he overheard their conversation. Pushing up his glasses, a thoughtful look flickered in his peach-blossom eyes.

"Ethan, you're here!"

Taking a seat on the sofa, Alastair spoke with an imposing tone. "Quinn, I have never interfered with your marriage to Miles, and the Sterling family has never made things difficult for you. So why are you going out of your way to cross us by letting your friend hook up with my son?"

At those words, Ethan's knuckles turned white. Beneath his glasses, his eyes burned with raging fury.

"Alastair Sterling, if you have something to say, take it outside. Why did you drag Cameron all the way here?"

To this day, Ethan refused to call Alastair "Dad." Even at the company, he only addressed him as the Chairman. During weekly family dinners, he either addressed him coldly or sent a representative in his place.

Hearing him waltz in here and insult Quinn and Yara pushed Ethan over the edge. The fact that he used Alastair's full name showed just how furious he was.

Seeing his son disrespect him so openly, Alastair wanted to snap back. But remembering the deep rift between them, he forcefully swallowed his anger.

Softening his expression, he adjusted his tone to sound slightly more reasonable. "Ethan, I came here because—"

"I don't care why you're here. You need to show some basic manners. This isn't your house. Quinn and Yara are my friends, and I expect you to respect them."

Alastair had originally come to find Yara and the secret granddaughter his son had supposedly hidden away. Seeing Quinn here was a surprise, but remembering Jade Winter's claim that Quinn was the one playing matchmaker between Ethan and Yara set him off.
