She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 588

Miles's expression was indifferent. "She passed out at the gala, so I brought her back."

"Oh."

Zachary continued, "Quinn probably won't wake up until morning. I'll stay over tonight to make sure she's feeling alright when she gets up."

Miles practically kicked him out with his words. "Zachary, once her fever breaks, you can leave."

Zachary completely ignored the hostility. "I'm not comfortable leaving her. Plus, I have things to discuss with her when she wakes up."

Remembering the thoughtful gift Quinn had prepared for Zachary before she left, a dark, freezing glint flashed in Miles's eyes.

"Zachary, you aren't getting any younger. It's time you found yourself a partner."

Zachary's mouth twitched uncontrollably. The man couldn't even sort out his own romantic life, yet he had the nerve to preach to him?

"Miles, I distinctly remember you're half a year older than me. If I'm 'not getting any younger,' what does that make you? A shriveled old squash clinging to the vine?"

Standing nearby, Hunter almost burst out laughing. A lethal glare from Miles silenced him instantly.

He immediately dropped his head, not daring to show even a hint of a smile.

"Zachary!"

Miles clenched his fingers tight. For whatever reason, he suppressed the rising fury in his eyes.

A faint, mocking smirk touched his lips. "I am a little curious. What kind of gift did Quinn give you? Is it some sort of special keepsake only the two of you understand?"

Zachary looked at him like he had lost his mind, his tone flaring with irritation. "You really want to know? Well, I'm absolutely not telling you!"

He stared at Miles and suddenly let out a cold scoff, his voice laced with ridicule.

"You jumping at shadows and making wild guesses... Don't tell me you're actually jealous?"

At those words, a flicker of discomfort flashed across Miles's dark eyes. A heavy, frustrating annoyance settled in his chest.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Zachary?

"I don't even like her, so why would I be jealous?

"Get out. Jack will show you to a guest room."

Zachary couldn't be bothered to argue further. He rolled his eyes and went back to check on Quinn.

...

"What exactly does Miles the Jerk think he's doing, taking Quinn away? They have absolutely nothing to do with each other anymore."

Hearing her refer to his boss as a jerk, Hunter's mouth twitched violently. Thank god Mr. York wasn't around to hear that, or his face would have turned darker than pitch.

"Ms. Chase, Mr. York saw her faint at the event, which is why he brought her back to Regency Bay to recover."

Hearing this, and combining it with what Ethan had said, Yara managed to swallow her immediate rage.

"He still shouldn't have taken her to his place! She has a hotel room and friends who can look after her. She doesn't need to trouble your boss!"

Hunter knew she'd say something like that, but he didn't dare argue too much. "Ms. Chase, she's being well taken care of by Gail at Regency Bay. She's in good hands, please don't worry."

Yara didn't want to hear his excuses. "Warn your boss. If he pulls a stunt like this again and snatches her away without a word, he's going to regret it!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

Hunter frowned slightly. Yara's fiery temper hadn't changed a bit!

But honestly, she wasn't wrong. There was no need to wait for the future.

His boss... was probably already regretting letting Quinn go in the first place, wasn't he?
