She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 56

"Then what exactly are you doing here?"

Quinn gestured vaguely. "I... I was just taking a walk near the nursing home to clear my head. Is that a crime?"

"Oh, really?"

Miles let out a cold laugh and snapped his fingers.

Hunter immediately pulled out his phone and sent a message to Quinn's SwiftSwap account.

*Ding!*

A notification popped up on Quinn's screen: [I see you, Mrs. York.]

Boom!

The message exploded in her ears like a thunderclap, leaving a ringing in her head.

HJ was... Hunter?

Her face went pale, her finger trembling as she pointed at Hunter, ready to curse him out.

But when she met Miles's dark, mocking gaze—looking at her as if she were the punchline of a joke—she froze.

All her anger evaporated, her shoulders slumping in defeat as she fell silent.

"Are you really that desperate for cash, Quinn?"

She had been caught red-handed. Her cheeks burned with intense humiliation.

"You are so incredibly cheap and greedy. Taking the tablet I specifically bought for Luna and hawking it online—is there no limit to your greed?"

Quinn's fingernails dug into her palms, her chest tightening with a suffocating weight.

This tablet was meant to be a matching sibling set. He bought the boy's version for his childhood sweetheart's son, and tossed the leftover girl's version to Luna.

She clenched her jaw, forcing down the fiery indignation and bitter resentment boiling inside her.

Why should her daughter be forced into a matching set with Jade's kid?

Why should her precious girl have to settle for someone else's scraps and be tied to this messy situation?

The more she thought about it, the colder her heart grew, filled with disgust and frustration.

She looked up, her eyes flashing with icy defiance. "Luna didn't like it. She doesn't want gifts from a grumpy man who yells at people. I'm selling it so I can buy her a different one. What's the problem?"
