She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 674

He took a half-step forward and instinctively opened his arms, but fearing he might scare them, he hesitated and froze.

A rare, gentle smile spread across his face, and his usual strict, commanding aura completely dissipated.

"They look wonderful. Exactly like Miles did when he was a boy."

He murmured in awe, his gaze darting back and forth between the boy and Luna, his heart overflowing with the joy of meeting his grandchildren for the first time. "Come here, let Grandpa get a good look at you."

Evelyn, still holding the children's little hands, turned her head and beamed at her son.

"What did I tell you? A perfect pair of boy-girl twins. Don't they just fill your heart with joy?"

Miles stood to the side, watching his father and grandmother lavish affection on the kids.

He felt even more acutely how foolish he had been in the past, and a bitter, acidic regret seeped from the depths of his heart.

Back then, for the sake of his ridiculous ego and pride, he had ruthlessly spoken those terrible words, costing the children three years of their lives.

They should have been cherished by the Yorks, living comfortably and being pampered by the entire family.

But since birth, they had never felt a shred of warmth from the York family, nor had they experienced any of the love or belonging they deserved.

Now they were distant from him, their biological father, and instead opened their hearts entirely to Ethan Leigh, happily calling him Daddy.

Yet he couldn't blame anyone else. From beginning to end, this was entirely his own doing.

……

Yara and Quinn were on the phone. "Now that the whole family is gathered, do you think they're plotting something?"

Quinn laughed. "Yara, what are you talking about?"

"Girl, I'm just saying. We might not mean anyone harm, but we can't let our guard down."

"Aside from Evelyn, not a single one of them is any good—especially Miles the Jerk!"

Quinn sighed. "Evelyn might want to have a talk with me."

"And what are your thoughts?"

Circling back to the main issue, Yara was deeply concerned for Quinn.

"I'm willing to co-parent the kids with him. But I won't agree to anything else."

Yara fully supported her. "Girl, whatever you decide, I'm on your side. I'll keep an eye on Martha here, so don't you worry."

"Yara, I'm so incredibly lucky to have a friend like you."

"What are you talking about? I've been riding your coattails! All that money is enough for me to retire early, hahaha..."

Back when she took Caleb to the Genius Toddler Challenge, they had won a massive cash prize.

Although Quinn had used it temporarily, she later transferred the full amount to Yara's account, insisting it was what she deserved.

Miles walked over. "Quinn, my grandmother wants to speak with you."

Yara heard his voice through the phone and warned, "Here we go. Quinn, whatever happens, do not let them guilt-trip you."

"I know."

Quinn ended the call with Yara and turned to Miles. "Where are the kids?"

"Ingrid took them to see the gifts Grandma brought them."
