He didn't want to leave Jade with any false hope, stating coldly, "I have work to do. Please leave."
Jade wanted to say more, but seeing his darkened expression, she forced down her bitter resentment and switched to a sweet, gentle tone: "Miles, you get back to work. I'll leave you to it."
I finally waited until he and Quinn got divorced.
She had waited four years for this day. There was no way she was giving up now!
...
That afternoon, Quinn went to pick up the kids from preschool. Luna and Caleb waved goodbye to their teachers and ran toward their mom.
"Did you guys have fun at school today?"
Luna planted a big kiss on her mom's cheek. "Mua~! So much fun!"
Quinn's voice was tender. "Mommy has something happy to celebrate today too. I'll take you guys to get some yummy pastries."
Luna's round, almond eyes sparkled. Catching her mom's radiant smile, her sweet, milky voice chirped: "Yay! Mommy, why are you so happy today?"
Caleb was much calmer than his sister. His little brow relaxed slightly. Though he didn't wear his emotions as openly as Luna, his eyes were full of joy for his mother.
"Mommy, today a kid tried to take Luna's blocks, but I protected her, so they didn't get taken."
Quinn straightened her son's collar and gave him a thumbs-up. "Caleb is such a good boy, always protecting his sister. Mommy is so proud. You definitely deserve a reward."
Luna immediately turned her head, leaning her little face close to her brother, her baby voice bubbling over: "Mommy, Mommy! Caleb is super amazing! The teacher even praised both of us!"
Luna's eyes curved into two little crescents. "Caleb knows all the stuff the teacher taught."
"A lot of kids in class really like Caleb."
Luna tilted her head up, her mouth running a mile a minute. "When they found out I was his sister, they all fought to play with me!"
Quinn listened with absolute delight. "Your brother is that popular in class, huh?"
"Uh-huh! My brother is the best! Some little girls even tried to sneak him candy, but he said no because he didn't want cavities."
The two little ones flanked their mother, their warm, soft breaths brushing against her. One was bubbly and sweet, the other steady and quiet.
A sudden ringtone interrupted Luna's chattering.
"Hello, Ms. Avery. This is Dominic Grant."
Quinn replied, "Hello, Mr. Grant."
"Do you have time tomorrow morning? We need you to come in and sign some property transfer paperwork."
Ethan's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. He had pulled strings to get the Pierces back to Europe early just so Quinn and Miles's contract marriage could finally end. He didn't want to hear about a single complication.
After confirming the time, Quinn said her thanks and hung up.
Luna didn't quite understand and asked curiously: "Mommy, what's a property transfer?"
"A property transfer? Hmm, let's use an example."
She slowed her pace, her voice incredibly gentle. "Imagine there's a really pretty toy house that belongs to Lucas Miller. If there's a property transfer, it means the owner of the toy house changes. It doesn't belong to the original person anymore—someone else owns it."
Luna tilted her little head, her sweet voice chiming in: "Like... if I gave my little bunny keychain to a classmate, it belongs to her?"

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....
