"Caleb, there's a slide over there! Let's go play for a bit," Luna said.
The pizzeria had a kids' play area, and Caleb led his sister over to the colorful ball pit and slide.
That left Quinn and Miles sitting alone at the table. Not wanting to face him one-on-one, she prepared to get up.
Just as she turned to go after the kids, Miles caught her hand.
"Quinn, I need to talk to you."
Quinn pulled her hand back, her tone frosty. "About what?"
Miles's Adam's apple bobbed slowly, a trace of vulnerability bleeding into his voice.
"Caleb and Luna aren't pushing me away anymore. I want... I want to ask them to call me Daddy."
"Miles, not pushing you away isn't the same as accepting you."
Miles sounded a little desperate. "How do you know they won't accept me if we haven't even tried?"
"I'll talk to them in a minute—"
A cold light surfaced in Quinn's eyes as she fixed her gaze on the man before her.
"Miles, they already know you're their biological father. Yet they still only call you 'Uncle.' You should have the self-awareness to understand what that means, instead of trying to force them to accept you."
Her words were a bucket of ice water dumped over the flickering fire of hope in his heart, instantly extinguishing it.
"Ouch!"
Luna accidentally tripped over a plastic ball. Worried she might be hurt, Quinn hurried over.
"Luna, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Mommy~!"
...
Afterward, Miles drove them home.
Yara called, mentioning that Ethan had brought a Handheld Massage Roller for Martha and was currently teaching the caregiver how to use it.

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....
