She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 577

Zack looked a bit confused; there didn't seem to be any commercial shopping districts nearby, did there?

Quinn stood to the side, lowering her eyes and instinctively tightening her grip on her purse strap.

"Zack, I just wanted to come find you for dinner!"

Zack let out a helpless chuckle, his eyes full of indulgence. "You really need to dial back this playful streak of yours."

"No way. I'm going to be a little princess forever, perfectly spoiled and protected by my big brother."

A helpless but doting smile spread across Zack's face. "Alright, alright. Whatever you say."

"Oh, Quinn! You're here too."

Serena greeted her warmly, speaking in a tone that suggested they had never had any bad blood between them.

Quinn simply gave a tight nod, keeping silent.

"How about Zack treats both me and Quinn to dinner today?"

Zack had originally planned to eat with Quinn anyway, so he naturally didn't object.

"Sure. I know a place with great ambiance and excellent food."

The moment Quinn saw Serena, there was zero chance she was staying for that meal. "Zack, I... I just remembered I need to go to the nursing home to pick up my mom. I should head out now. Let's do dinner another time."

Before Zack could protest, she turned and headed toward the street.

She had briefly considered subtly asking Zack how much he really knew about this newly-found sister of his.

But she worried he would misunderstand and think she was just badmouthing his family.

Now, she abandoned the thought completely. No matter what Serena did behind his back, she was still Zack's biological sister.

Anything Quinn said would likely only upset him.

"Quinn, why the rush?"

Hadn't she just said she wanted to treat him to dinner?

Zack wanted to say more, but Quinn was already walking away.

All he could do was wave. "Let me know when you arrive safely in Aurelia!"

Ingrid supported Evelyn as she strolled through the garden. "Madam, children will make their own choices. Try not to stress yourself over it."

Evelyn sighed deeply. "That pot of flowers over there... it's time to water it."

Quinn had already booked the flights. Today, she, Yara, and the two little toddlers were officially leaving Fairmont, with Ethan driving them to the airport.

On the way, Evelyn York initiated a video call. She scolded Quinn playfully for leaving Fairmont without bringing her great-grandchildren over to say goodbye to an old woman.

It wasn't that Quinn didn't want to; she just couldn't risk the gossip of people claiming she was dragging her kids back to the Yorks to beg for scraps.

Secondly, she felt incredibly guilty for hiding something so massive from the elderly woman.

She knew how desperately Evelyn longed for great-grandchildren, yet she was forcing them to meet 'as strangers'.

The two little toddlers waved at their great-grandmother through the screen, their voices soft and considerate.

"Great-Grandma, make sure you take good care of your health at home. Once Caleb and I get a little bigger, we'll come back and visit you!"

Caleb, wearing his mask, spoke earnestly. "Great-Grandma, Luna and I already think of you as our real great-grandma. As soon as Mom doesn't have to worry about us as much, we'll fly to Fairmont to see you."

Evelyn had always harbored a profound affection for these two kids. Overcome with reluctance to see them go, her eyes glistened with tears.
