She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 578

She said several "okays" in a row, promising she'd wait for them to grow up and visit her.

At the airport, Ethan Leigh held each toddler by the hand. He reminded them to listen to their mom and Yara, to not run off, and to be careful around strangers.

Luna said in her sweet, milky voice, "I know, Daddy. Caleb and I will miss you so much."

"Daddy, we'll video call you the second we land!"

Luna and Caleb hugged Ethan tightly, both of them speaking in soft, babyish voices filled with longing and reluctance to leave.

"Be good when you get there. You can call Daddy every day. Once I finish up work here, I'll come visit you in Aurelia."

Quinn had Yara take the kids through the security gates first, turning to Ethan with an apologetic smile.

"Ethan, thank you for everything you've done for the kids lately. Once we're gone, you should move out of the Fairview Apartments and get back to your own life."

He was the heir to the Leigh Group; how could he possibly keep living in some rundown apartment complex forever?

She had always felt that she and the kids were dragging him down, preventing him from living a normal life.

Now, she genuinely wanted him to return to his elite lifestyle and be free of their burden.

Ethan's eyes softened warmly. His ideal life was one that had her and the kids in it.

"Quinn, we're friends. You don't need to feel burdened. Just take good care of the kids, and I'll come see you in Aurelia when I have time."

Thinking about the fact that she was now a free woman sent ripples of excitement through his heart. He finally wouldn't have to suppress his feelings for her anymore.

It wouldn't be long before he went to Aurelia to find her. And when he did, he wouldn't have to hide his true intentions.

"Have a safe flight. Text me when you land."

"I will. We're going now."

Ethan didn't leave the airport until he watched her plane disappear into the clouds.

...

York Group Headquarters.

Miles York stood silently by the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the drifting white clouds.

He didn't even notice when Hunter knocked and entered with a stack of documents.

Hunter certainly didn't think he was close to Yara. He only stalked her social media because he was desperate for updates on the young Madam.

That way, whenever Mr. York randomly lost his mind and demanded information about her, he would have answers ready.

Case in point: Mr. York had just unpredictably asked about her, and Hunter was able to reply instantly instead of scrambling to launch an investigation.

He really should be getting praised right now. Why was his boss interrogating him about his relationship with Yara?

"Mr. York, we aren't close. I only added her on social media a while ago regarding matters with Ms. Avery, which is how I saw the post."

Miles pinched the bridge of his nose and said dismissively, "Get out."

*Ding.* His phone buzzed with a message from Julian Fox:

[Zack's birthday is tomorrow. You got his text, right?]

Miles had actually received the invite that morning but had immediately forgotten about it. Seeing Julian's reminder, he typed back: [I'm free. I'll be there.]

Zack hadn't originally wanted to invite him, fearing that if Quinn showed up, Miles would treat her coldly again.

But since Quinn had already left Fairmont, he sent the invitation.
