Luna blinked. "Weird Uncle, you're here too."
Caleb spotted him immediately, noticing the dark circles under the man's eyes.
He walked over, handing him a complex puzzle cube. "Weird Uncle, Luna and I want to see you solve this."
Miles tore his gaze away from Quinn. "Alright. Let's play."
Seeing him distracted with the kids, Quinn exchanged a few final words with Ethan before ending the call.
...
That evening, Miles fully embraced the role of a doting father, sitting with the two kids and reading them bedtime stories.
"Weird Uncle, you got it wrong. The Little Mermaid didn't turn into sea foam just because she couldn't get the prince."
"Luna, it's because the prince married someone else that she..."
Luna didn't quite know how to articulate her thoughts, but she knew his version felt wrong. She frowned, a little frustrated.
Caleb knew exactly what his sister was trying to say. He spoke up for her. "Weird Uncle, the Little Mermaid endured the agonizing pain of walking on knives and gave up her voice just to run to him.
When she held the dagger, she chose not to hurt the prince to save herself."
"Ah... I misunderstood."
"But Caleb understands it perfectly. When you grow up, Caleb, you're going to be such a gentleman."
Miles wanted to seize this quiet, intimate moment to finally tell them the truth. To say he was their biological father. To ask them to stop calling him 'uncle' and finally call him 'Daddy.'
He swallowed hard, clearing his throat lightly as he searched for the right words.
"Luna... Caleb... actually..."
Luna let out a soft yawn, rubbing her tired eyes. "Weird Uncle, I want Mommy. I want her to sleep with Caleb and me tonight."
The words Miles had been about to say died in his throat.
"Okay. Let's go find Mommy."
Down the hall, Quinn was sitting in front of her laptop, wearing her glasses as she worked on translating a classic foreign novel. She was nearing the end of her second book.
Hearing Luna's voice outside the door, she took off her glasses and opened it.
"Mommy, are you still working?"

The readers' comments on the novel: She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On
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....
