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!"

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....
