She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 569

Richard set down his teacup, his gaze resting on his visibly exhausted son.

"Work is important, obviously, but you can't push yourself to the breaking point either. You need to rest.

Besides, you aren't getting any younger. Stop using 'no time' as an excuse.

Your mother and I have always worried about your personal life. When we set up these dates, you need to at least go meet them.

You have to settle down eventually. You can't stay single forever."

He was incredibly proud of his son in every other regard. His capabilities, his ruthlessness in business—he was outstanding in every way. But his cold, detached nature and absolute disinterest in romance were a massive headache.

Miles didn't say another word. He just felt an intense wave of annoyance, a suffocating weight pressing down on his chest like an inescapable web.

"Dad, I get it. I'm heading back."

On the ride back to Regency Bay, Miles received a call from Dominic Grant. "Mr. York, Ms. Avery will be coming in tomorrow to process the property transfers. It will take a few business days."

"Handle it. You don't need to report the progress to me."

Remembering Evelyn York's instructions, Dominic hesitated before asking one more question: "Mr... Mr. York, are you absolutely certain about this?"

Miles didn't understand what Dominic was getting at and frowned. "Certain about what?"

"N-nothing, I just wanted to remind you that if you change your mind during the legally mandated separation period, you... you can unilaterally withdraw the divorce application."

That way, he wouldn't be caught in the middle if things went south later.

Right now, he was genuinely worried.

Hearing this, Miles's long fingers tightened around his phone, his voice suddenly sharp:

"Did... did Quinn say that?"

Dominic was confused. Mr. York's tone sounded almost desperate for the answer to be yes.

"Mr. York, Ms. Avery didn't say that. She's just been pushing to get the divorce finalized as quickly as possible."

At this, the look in Miles's eyes plunged into an icy abyss. His voice was freezing:

"No withdrawal. The word 'regret' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

Dominic could feel the deathly chill radiating through the phone. He shouldn't have opened his mouth.

Quinn finished the property transfers and took the two kids and Yara to a high-end private dining club.

Sitting in the very next private room, separated only by a decorative folding screen, was the girl Miles was set up to meet today.

It was Luna's first time at a place like this. To ensure the kids weren't spotted by anyone they knew, Quinn specifically chose a highly private restaurant.

That way, Caleb could eat comfortably without having to wear his mask.

Luna loved the place, her eyes darting around the room. The miniature rockery and flowing water feature completely captivated her.

"Mommy, it's so pretty here."

Caleb also found the decor uniquely different from other restaurants and looked around with curiosity.

Seeing the two kids distracted by the restaurant, Yara leaned in and whispered, "Quinn, how long until the divorce is final?"

"Mr. Grant says it's processing. I did the math, and it should only be another half a month."

Thinking about her future, Quinn felt incredibly relieved. "Once it's finalized, I'm taking the kids to Aurelia."
