He hadn't been able to hold back his temper and had lashed out at Quinn.
Quinn couldn't stand by while someone insulted Yara, especially since she felt responsible for the mess.
Her expression turned ice-cold. "Mr. Sterling, my friend is not 'hooking up' with your son. They—"
Yara gently tugged her hand and subtly shook her head. If Quinn clarified that there was absolutely nothing going on between her and Ethan, how would they explain why Luna called him "Daddy"?
And more importantly, where did Luna come from?
Alastair was Miles' uncle. There was no way he would help them keep a secret. If he found out Luna's true identity, Miles would undoubtedly come to take the child away.
It was better to leave this complicated web of relationships unexplained and let him jump to his own conclusions.
As long as she and Ethan knew where they stood, there was no need to justify anything to an outsider.
Yara had also noticed something else: in front of Ethan, Alastair's domineering aura completely deflated. That meant he wouldn't dare try anything drastic, like snatching Luna away.
Worried his father would spew more offensive nonsense, Ethan turned to the butler. "Cameron, escort the Chairman out."
Cameron lowered his head, clearly torn. One was the patriarch, the other the heir—whose orders was he supposed to follow?
Alastair glanced around the apartment. Since he hadn't caught a glimpse of the little girl yet, he had no intention of leaving.
"Ethan, actually... I came today because I wanted to see my granddaughter. Is that really so wrong?"
Yara and Quinn froze. Did he just say he came to see his granddaughter?
In the other room, Luna heard the commotion. "Caleb, there are strangers in the house. Put on your mask so they don't see your face."
"Okay."
After Caleb slipped his mask on, the two kids used the voice-activated door to enter the adjoining apartment.
"Mommy, who is this grandpa?"
Hearing that sweet, milky voice, Alastair spun around. His eyes locked onto a lively little girl in a floral dress as she trotted into the room.

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....
