She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 553

Hunter walked in right then with the gifts and saw him.

"Mr. York, here are the gifts for the children starting kindergarten."

The man's face was dark. "Why did it take you so long?"

Hunter was rendered speechless. This was considered slow? The moment he got the call, he had sprinted through the mall to pick out the toys.

He followed his boss upstairs and entered the private room, greeted by the sight of a perfectly harmonious family.

The two kids were eating the food Ethan had served them, while Quinn gently wiped their mouths.

It wasn't just Hunter who thought so. Miles took the entire scene in silently, his dark eyes surging with hostility.

But remembering the kids were right there, he suppressed his anger and concealed the viciousness on his face.

Softening his voice, he said, "Luna, Caleb, these are the gifts Uncle got for you."

A Princess Character Blind Box Set and a LEGO Smart Toy Set, both limited editions.

"Weird Uncle, it's a princess blind box."

Luna and Caleb looked at their mom and daddy. Quinn gently patted his little head. "If you like it, keep it."

Normally, she would have refused, but today, she couldn't let them say no.

This lunatic Miles had actually sent people to beat up her brother.

Caleb and Luna spoke in unison, "Thank you, Weird Uncle."

The dinner wasn't exactly harmonious, but thanks to the two kids asking a question here and there, it wasn't a total disaster either.

After the meal, Miles crouched down and asked the little ones, "It's still early. Uncle booked some children's movie tickets. How about I take you to see a movie?"

Neither Luna nor Caleb really wanted to go. Because of the Weird Uncle's presence in the dining room, the atmosphere had felt off.

Even Mommy and Daddy weren't smiling much anymore.

"Weird Uncle, I'm a little tired today. I want to go home and rest early."

Caleb chimed in, "Weird Uncle, thank you for the gifts!"

Miles felt a pang of disappointment but didn't want to push the kids. He spoke gently, "Luna, make sure to keep your smartwatch charged. Uncle will call you."

Luna nodded. Yara and Quinn each took a child's hand and left.

"Ethan, I need a word with you."

Worried that Miles might do something extreme to Ethan, Quinn hurriedly stepped forward.

It was the only way he could have crossed paths with someone like Quinn, who lived at the bottom of society back then.

"That's right. She and I are like you and Jade. Childhood sweethearts."

The coldness in Miles's eyes could no longer be contained. It was like water beneath a sheet of ice—seemingly still, but churning violently below.

A mocking glint flashed through his dark eyes as his lips twitched. "Childhood sweethearts?"

He repeated the words slowly, as if chewing on them.

"Exactly."

Miles let out a bitter laugh. "So, you're just two old flames reuniting?"

Ethan didn't answer, but the warmth in his eyes told Miles everything he needed to know.

Yes, they were old flames reuniting.

The only difference was that Quinn hadn't recognized him yet.

"You've loved her since you were kids?"

Miles's tone was flat and indifferent, devoid of any noticeable emotion.
