Tristan had thought the exact same thing, but then he recalled something crucial. She had spent about six months away at a private care facility.
Pulling out his phone, he quickly searched: *'When do you start showing during pregnancy?'*
The results popped up instantly, with people online explaining that many don't show at all at four months, and only begin to look slightly fuller around five or six months.
If that were the case, she absolutely could have hidden the pregnancy from everyone and secretly given birth to the twins.
He remembered overhearing Jack and Gail talking about it in the dining room recently. Gail had mentioned a detail he completely overlooked back then.
She noted that there was a period where Mrs. York seemed to have gained some weight and constantly wore loose, oversized clothing.
Didn't that line up perfectly?
"She did look a little heavier once. Gail mentioned that for a while, she always wore baggy clothes. Everyone just assumed she had gained some weight."
Hunter rubbed his chin, piecing it all together. "So, she hid the pregnancy bump. And when she couldn't hide it anymore, she used taking care of her sick mother as an excuse to move to a place near the facility.
She stayed there for half a year... which means she was actually waiting out the rest of her pregnancy to deliver the twins."
"Exactly. You hit the nail on the head."
Realizing the truth, both men sighed heavily, their voices thick with sympathy and pity.
"I have to say, I deeply respect her resilience and willpower. But... it also just proves how utterly shattered she was by Mr. York back then. Damn..."
Tristan nodded quietly. "Yeah. She swallowed all that pain and just carried the burden entirely on her own."
Leaning against the other side of the door, Miles heard every single word.
His chest felt like it had been violently ripped open. It was as if an invisible hand reached through the bloody fissure, mercilessly crushing his heart until a dull, suffocating agony radiated through his entire body.
Hunter and Tristan's words hammered into him, an agonizing reminder of every unforgivable sin he had committed.
"Should we report this to Chairman York and his wife?"
Suddenly, the heavy mahogany door swung open. A towering figure loomed over them, his presence suffocatingly dark.
Both men jumped out of their skin.
Miles's gaze slashed across them like a freshly sharpened blade. "If either of you breathes a single word of this to the main house, you will permanently cease to exist in my orbit!"
The color instantly drained from both men's faces.
Hunter shuddered, immediately dropping his head. "We wouldn't dare, sir! We wouldn't dare. If you don't give the word, Tristan and I would never breathe a syllable to anyone."
With that chilling threat delivered, Miles slammed the door shut again, locking himself away.

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
