She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 601

"Ethan, you're only looking at me through the rose-tinted glasses of our past. You need to take a step back and see the bigger picture. There are so many incredible women out there. You shouldn't limit yourself to a childhood crush."

She didn't want to make things heavy or depressing. He was far too remarkable a man for that.

He deserved a beautiful marriage and a happy family, not to waste his precious time on her.

Ethan Leigh offered a gentle smile, burying the quiet ache deep within his heart.

He couldn't let her carry this burden, nor did he want to be the source of her guilt.

He refused to let his feelings become her emotional prison.

Pushing down the welling sense of loss and masking the loneliness in his eyes, he maintained his calm, affable demeanor.

"Quinn, I'm not going to give up. But please, don't go out of your way to avoid me either. That wouldn't be fair to me."

Her gaze remained open and sincere, entirely devoid of any false modesty. "I won't avoid you because of this. You're still the twins' Daddy."

She closed her eyes briefly, turning to look out at the distant river view. "But you should have a normal life, instead of pouring all your time and energy into me and the kids."

He knew exactly what she was worried about. She feared that having two children would drag him down.

But he didn't see it that way at all.

He adored the twins. Sometimes, biology wasn't what made a family; blood didn't guarantee love.

Look at him and Alastair Sterling—they were flesh and blood, but what good did that do?

His father had still tried to force his mother to get an abortion back in the day.

"Alright, I promise you. If someone introduces me to a woman, I won't immediately reject the idea. I'll try to get to know her. But you can't force me to accept someone just for the sake of it."

"I have feelings for you, but you don't need to feel burdened by them, nor should you feel like you owe me anything for what I do for the kids.

Loving you is my business. Choosing is yours."

A sudden heat rushed to Quinn's eyes, her chest tightening with an aching sweetness.

It was the first time she had ever heard someone speak of love so lightly, yet with such profound sincerity.

No demands, no emotional blackmail, no pressure.

It turned out that true affection wasn't about saying, *'Look at everything I've done for you, now love me back.'* It was simply, *'I love you, but you are still entirely free.'*

A thousand thoughts lodged in her throat. She pressed her lips together, unsure of what to say.

Swallowing the lump in her throat, she murmured, "I won't force you."

"Thank you, Ethan."
