She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 543

In the past, coming home to an empty house would have infuriated him. He would have immediately ordered Jack to call her and demand she return.

But tonight, he felt it was better she wasn't here. It saved him from having to hear about the Divorce Agreement and getting angry all over again.

He still couldn't quite understand why seeing her hand over those papers had triggered such intense rage.

Maybe it was exactly as she had pointed out. He was the boss, and she was the employee. Only the boss had the right to terminate the contract.

The subordinate had no right, let alone the authority, to demand an exit first.

Yes, that had to be it.

Just like in business, he always held the absolute upper hand, dictating when a partnership began and when it ended.

In this relationship, he should be the one pulling the strings on when it was over.

He could choose when to let go and when to walk away.

She absolutely had no right to beat him to the punch and sever their ties first.

Gail walked over, softly interrupting his thoughts. "Sir, dinner is ready."

Pulling himself out of his reverie, Miles felt a sense of clarity. Acting as if everything were perfectly normal, he took a seat at the dining table.

He picked up his silverware, but as his eyes swept over the lavish spread, he noticed none of the spicy dishes Quinn loved were there. Slowly, he set his fork back down.

Just a few days ago, this house had been so lively with Quinn and the two adorable kids keeping him company during meals.

And now, in such a short time, it had reverted to an empty, hollow shell devoid of laughter.

The bright, clear light from the dining room chandelier cast a heavy shadow over his handsome features, highlighting the thick layer of gloom settled between his brows.

A notification popped up on his phone. It was from Jade. [Miles, Leo was really upset when he got home from school today. He kept asking why his dad didn't come pick him up. Could you call him and comfort him?]

Miles's tone turned chillingly frosty. "Jade, I already told you, this has absolutely nothing to do with Quinn. Leo needs to learn to accept the truth. I will never cut back on spoiling him or providing for him, but at the end of the day, I am not his biological father."

Without giving her a chance to argue, he ended the call.

Furious, Jade hurled her phone against the wall, shattering another device. "Miles York, how could you treat me like this?!"

So what if Leo wasn't his biological son? Were those two wild brats his?

Why did he have endless patience for those random kids, but treated her Leo with such cold indifference?

Hearing the crash, Teresa walked in and sighed at the sight of the broken phone.

"Jade, ever since Leo was sent back that day, Judith hasn't answered my calls, and even Miles is giving you the cold shoulder. Did something happen that we don't know about?"

"Knowing Judith, there's no way she would just ignore her precious grandson. Do you think... she found out Leo isn't actually her grandson?"
