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.
Taking a few steps forward, Luna politely shook his hand. "Hello, Grandpa!"
Charmed by her sweet manners, Alastair's stern demeanor melted into complete adoration. "Tell Grandpa, what's your name?"
"I'm Luna, and this is my cousin, Caleb."
"This is my Mommy, and that's my Godmother."
Articulate and bubbly, Luna prattled on, introducing everyone in the room. Her innocent, cheerful demeanor made Alastair laugh out loud, his eyes brimming with genuine warmth and happiness.
"You little sweetheart. How old are you?"
"I'm three! And my cousin is three too."
...
Meanwhile, Miles returned from the office to Regency Bay. Not seeing Quinn around, he felt a faint sense of relief.

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....
