The spread included pan-seared Rougié foie gras paired with fig jam and toasted brioche, alongside classic escargot.
There was also a rich Gruyère cheese serving with a side of beef bone broth.
Following the appetizers came several seafood courses: seared scallops and a refreshing lime sorbet to balance the richness.
The main course was a perfectly cooked Beef Wellington, wrapped in mushroom duxelles and Parma ham, served with roasted seasonal vegetables and black truffle mashed potatoes.
After the main, a fresh garden salad with vinaigrette was brought out.
The sommelier simultaneously poured a rich Burgundy wine, the candlelight reflecting beautifully against the glass.
Course after exquisite course filled the table, the mouth-watering aromas drifting through the air.
Quinn stood up. "I'll go get the kids."
"Mommy, we're back!"
Luna and Caleb walked over hand-in-hand. They were incredibly well-behaved, not running or shouting in the elegant restaurant, their every move showing excellent manners.
The dark cloud over Miles's expression instantly vanished, replaced by a warm, affectionate glow. "Did you like the violin, Luna?"
Luna blinked her big, round eyes and gently shook her head. Her sweet voice rang out clearly, "I like the piano."
Miles's eyes crinkled with a smile, his voice incredibly soft. "Then I'll teach you how to play. I've already ordered a piano for each of you."
Luna's long eyelashes fluttered, her little mouth falling open in surprise. She looked up at him. "Weird Uncle, you bought a piano for Caleb and me?"
"Yes. I noticed you liked it last time, so I made sure to get them."
Miles watched her with hopeful anticipation, his tone endlessly patient and gentle.
Caleb's dark eyes remained calm. He didn't show the same visible shock as his sister, simply turning his gaze quietly toward their mother.
Luna felt a bit conflicted. "But Mommy said we can't accept expensive gifts from other people."
"A piano is super expensive. A girl in my class said hers cost tens of thousands."
Miles paused slightly, glancing at Quinn before looking back at Luna's rosy face. "This is a gift from me. I'm not 'other people.'"
Caleb finally spoke up, sounding far too mature for his age. "Weird Uncle, you've already given us too many gifts."
Miles's throat tightened as he watched his own children team up to politely reject him.
He had been so excited, thinking this thoughtful surprise would bridge the gap between them. He hadn't expected the kids to be so strictly loyal to their mother's rules.
He looked across the table at Quinn, practically begging her with his eyes to say something to the kids. "I just want them to have hobbies they enjoy."
"Quinn, Luna clearly envies her classmate's piano."
Luna stayed quiet, lowering her little head, essentially confirming he was right.

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....
