She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 74

His lips pressed into a hard line as he let out a cold laugh.

Who did she think she was?

A woman with a messy private life. Even if she stripped naked in front of him, he wouldn't feel the slightest flicker of interest.

"You don't need to do that, Quinn. I have zero interest in the body of a woman with no self-respect."

His palpable disgust, paired with those casually delivered but deeply insulting words, felt like a bucket of ice water dumped over her head.

The words cut deep. Quinn's heart felt as though it had been violently crushed, a suffocating wave of despair and humiliation choking her.

But she forced herself to hold it together, refusing to show a single trace of vulnerability as she fought back the stinging moisture in her eyes.

She masked her pain with an expression of cold disdain, firing back with a mocking sneer.

"Good, then I won't have to worry about you losing control. Besides, I have absolutely zero interest in a scrawny weakling like you!"

If Miles had been paying closer attention, he would have noticed the slight tremble in her voice.

But she would rather bite back with venom than let him see how deeply he had wounded her.

The moment the words left her mouth, Miles lost his composure. His handsome, sculpted face instantly clouded over with fury.

"Quinn!"

He hissed her name through gritted teeth, a vein pulsing dangerously in his neck.

He worked out with unbreakable discipline every single day. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and rock-hard eight-pack abs.

And she had the nerve to call him a scrawny weakling?

Quinn was too exhausted to keep fighting. "You're sleeping on the sofa tonight, or you can go to the study."

She promptly threw back the covers and claimed the bed.

Miles gritted his teeth. "Quinn, this is my bed!"

She knew full well his grandmother had sent Ingrid to eavesdrop outside, yet she was playing this ridiculous hard-to-get game?

Telling him to sleep in the study?
