She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 64

Hearing this, Grandma Evelyn's complexion worsened.

Quinn was such an exceptional woman. Why couldn't her eldest grandson see her worth?

The York family didn't need to rely on arranged marriages to secure their corporate empire, nor did they need to sacrifice their children's happiness to curry favor or secure profits.

She closed her eyes, massaging her temples in deep frustration. "Both of you, get out. I need time to think."

...

Richard York stepped out of the attending doctor's office. His gaze swept over Quinn with complete indifference.

He didn't exactly like his daughter-in-law, but he didn't hate her either.

He always deferred to his mother's judgment. If his mother believed Quinn was worthy of Miles, he had no objections.

"Miles, you and Quinn hid something this massive from the family, and now your grandmother is in the hospital because of it. You both need to take a long, hard look at yourselves."

He knocked lightly on the hospital door and went inside to check on his mother's condition.

Macy wanted to speak up but was immediately dragged away by Judith, who hissed a quiet warning. "Are you trying to get yelled at? Scolding Quinn right outside your grandmother's room?"

"Enough. You and I are going home. Your brother and your father will handle things here."

Macy asked softly, "Mom, since Grandma got sick, doesn't this mean Miles can't get the divorce certificate with Quinn right now?"

"What about Jade and Leo?"

Judith shook her head. "We'll figure that out later."

Macy had only met Leo a few days ago, realizing that Jade had a three-year-old son. Her immediate assumption was that it was her brother's child.

But Jade had denied it. Macy assumed Jade was simply embarrassed, considering Miles was still legally married to Quinn.

She could see Jade's restraint and the quiet suffering she endured.

Not wanting Leo to carry the stigma of an illegitimate child, she hadn't pushed the issue further.

When she went home and told her mother, Judith had been utterly shocked, her eyes swirling with a wild, ecstatic disbelief.

She had a grandson?

Seeing her smiling softly as she spoke on the phone, his eyes turned as dark as an abyss.

The voice on the other end of the line just now sounded like a man.

Had she already forgotten about being publicly humiliated and branded a homewrecker in the hotel lobby yesterday?

If Eleanor knew her deep, professional voice was mistaken for a man's, she would have spat blood in anger.

He walked over, his face freezing cold. "Quinn, we need to talk."

Quinn also wanted to know when they could go back to get the divorce certificate. Considering what she had just said to Grandma Evelyn, she figured the old woman must have agreed to let them finalize it.

The two of them got into the car together. Quinn fully expected them to head straight back to City Hall, her heart fluttering with anticipation.

But she quickly realized the car was heading toward Regency Bay. Quinn immediately lost her composure.

"Miles, aren't we supposed to be going to City Hall right now?"

"They don't close until four-thirty. If we leave now, we can still make it."
