She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 663

He stepped aside, giving her room to enter the bedroom.

The moment Quinn stepped inside, she shut the door and locked it, completely shutting him out, as if terrified he might barge in again.

Seeing her avoid him like he was a venomous snake made Miles's chest tighten with a suffocating ache.

...

Saturday arrived. Ethan Leigh sent Quinn a text: [Quinn, it's the weekend. I have to head back to Evergreen City tomorrow. Could I see the kids before I leave?]

Quinn was currently out shopping with Yara and the children. Seeing his message, she hesitated over whether to send him their location.

The kids had just been asking about him last night, wondering why "Daddy" hadn't come back yet and why he hadn't called.

Quinn hadn't known what to tell them.

Yara glanced over and saw the text. "Quinn, Ethan hasn't reached out to you these past few days, but he did go visit Martha."

Hearing this, Quinn's eyes widened in surprise. "Yara, he went to see my mom? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ethan asked me not to. He didn't want you to feel burdened by it."

Quinn quickly typed a reply to Ethan: [Meet us at this address. Yara and I are taking the kids around the mall.]

The kids hadn't seen him in at least a week. The moment he appeared, both little ones' eyes lit up like stars.

"Mommy, it's Daddy! He's here!"

Luna wove through the mall's crowd and ran straight to Ethan, tilting her round little face up, her voice meltingly sweet.

"Daddy, Daddy, you're back!"

Caleb followed right behind, his tone equally affectionate. "Daddy, you came back."

Ethan crouched down and scooped them both up into his arms.

"Daddy is back from his business trip. Did you miss me?"

"Of course we did!"

Hearing both adorable kids say they missed him instantly swept away the heavy gloom Ethan had been carrying for days.

"Daddy is going to take you to dinner today."

"Ethan, are you heading back to Evergreen City tomorrow?"

Yara and Quinn walked over. Yara smiled, "Ethan, dinner is on me today."

Ethan thought of the harsh words Miles had thrown at him and lowered his eyes, hiding the flash of pain.

"Alright. But today, I'm spending the whole day playing with these two little ones."

Luna clapped her little hands, her voice sugary sweet. "Yay! Daddy has time to play with us!"

Miles had been swamped with partnership negotiations the past few days. He had intentionally crammed all his work into the daylight hours, planning to take the kids to see a children's movie that evening.

As soon as he finished work, he rushed back to Regency Bay.

But the house was silent. He didn't hear the usual bright laughter of the kids. Frowning, he asked, "Where are Ms. Avery and the children?"

A maid kept her head bowed. "Sir, Ms. Avery took the children out today and hasn't returned yet."

Miles's expression darkened. He sat down heavily on the sofa.

Hunter set down a stack of folders and suggested gently, "Mr. York, should I call her and ask?"

His boss's schedule had been packed to the brim, and he had deliberately pushed back critical tasks just to be here. And yet, she had taken the kids out?

"No need."

"We'll just wait a bit. They should be back soon."
