That evening, he drove to Cloudcroft Estates to pick the kids up and bring them home.
The streetlights filtered through the rustling leaves, casting sharp shadows that highlighted his striking, sharply contoured profile.
The moment he laid eyes on his children, his expression instantly shifted into a warm, gentle smile.
He was just about to step off the curb and cross the street when he saw Ethan Leigh casually scooping Luna up into his arms.
"Daddy, let me down. I want to walk with Caleb."
"Okay."
The children had been out playing all day. Since Martha had been missing them, Quinn decided to bring them over for a quick visit.
Standing on the opposite side of the road, Miles watched as Ethan led the kids by the hand. Ethan occasionally leaned down to say something, drawing peals of bright laughter from them.
A suffocating, throbbing ache gripped Miles's chest. His face turned an ashen gray.
"Daddy, we had so much fun today!"
"Can we do this again next time?"
"Of course. Whenever you want to go out, I'll take you."
Their laughter drifted across the street like a cruel, jagged melody, wrapping around Miles's eardrums and clawing viciously at his heart.
He couldn't quite make out their exact words, but it was glaringly obvious how immensely happy the kids were.
Yara and Quinn were walking a few paces behind, engaged in their own conversation. They didn't even notice Miles and Tristan Vance standing across the street.
"Daddy, let's walk faster! We haven't played at the neighborhood playground in forever. Let Mommy and Yara chat."
Ethan's eyes overflowed with indulgence. "Alright."
He and the kids walked further ahead, creating a noticeable gap between them and the two women behind.
Down the road, a black sedan crept slowly out of a narrow alley. The driver inside held up his phone, comparing the photo on the screen to the two toddlers walking just ahead.
As a professional bodyguard, Tristan's instincts flared. Something felt incredibly wrong.
He quickly warned, "Mr. York, that car had its lights off while hiding in the alley. It's now speeding directly toward Caleb and Luna."

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....
