She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 596

Gail and Jack retreated to the dining room to whisper among themselves. "What's gotten into Mr. York?"

"What else could it be?" Gail replied. "He's looking at her things and pining for her, obviously."

When the young madam was here, he ignored her. Now that she was gone, he was suddenly miserable.

Gail took out her phone and dialed Grandma Evelyn at the old estate. Hearing the report, Evelyn took a satisfied sip of her tea.

"Leave him be."

Gail nodded in agreement. "Yes, Ma'am."

In the small bedroom, Miles dialed Luna's smartwatch. Luna usually didn't wear it, so it hadn't been charged, but she had asked her brother to charge it today.

Caleb nodded, and Luna tapped to answer.

"Weird Uncle?"

Hearing her voice, Miles felt a surge of excitement. "Luna, you're finally willing to answer my calls."

"Weird Uncle, it's not that I don't want to answer your calls. I just forget to charge it sometimes."

"Did you have something you wanted to say to me?"

Luna pouted slightly. "If you have something to say, just say it. Caleb and I are about to go solve a Rubik's Cube."

The soft sweetness of her voice felt incredibly comforting. Miles's tone warmed naturally. "Luna, are you getting used to living in a new city?"

Luna thought this was very strange. He called just to ask that?

"Of course I am! I have my daddy, mommy, brother, and grandma. They all love Caleb and me very much."

Caleb seemed to detect the loneliness in Miles's voice. He leaned in and whispered to his sister, "Is Weird Uncle feeling lonely?"

Frowning slightly, Luna asked, "Weird Uncle, if you're not happy, you should go for a walk at an amusement park. The noise will make you feel better.

"Or you could go climb a mountain! Caleb says when you stand on the ground, all you see are annoying things. But when you climb up high, the whole world gets bigger!"

Miles smiled softly. That definitely sounded like something Caleb would say. His heart felt remarkably lighter, genuinely comforted by the toddler's words.

"Ethan, this is all thanks to you. If you hadn't introduced me, I never would have gotten this opportunity."

Ethan smiled modestly. "I might have introduced you, but you backed it up with pure talent. I simply made sure Director Vance saw a pearl instead of letting it stay buried in the sand."

"Thank you! Ethan, thank you so much. Next time you come to Aurelia, your meals and your itinerary are entirely on me."

"It's a deal."

Returning to the hotel, Ethan looked at her, his eyes carrying an undeniable softness. "Quinn, I want you to go somewhere with me tonight."

Quinn lowered her gaze, shielding herself from that warmth.

Ever since Yara had pointed it out, she realized Ethan's gaze did carry a complicated tenderness she had been blind to before.

Over the past two days, she had thought things through. She wanted to take this opportunity to clear the air. She couldn't let him waste his time on her; it wasn't fair to him.

"Okay. See you tonight."

That evening, Miles sat in his car parked outside The Regent Grand Hotel, clutching the crystal hair clip he still hadn't returned, debating whether or not he should go up and see Quinn.
