She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 77

Seeing her ride-share pull up, Quinn waved, and the driver pulled over to the curb.

She yanked the door open, climbed in, and sped off without missing a beat.

"Sir, she got in the other car."

Miles's face darkened. "I'm not blind!"

Tristan shrank back. "Sir... should we drive now?"

"Do you really need to ask me that?"

Tristan felt wronged. Clearly, it was the wife who had pissed his boss off, yet he was the one taking the heat.

Ring, ring, ring—

A video call from Jade lit up the screen. Miles's dark expression finally softened slightly as he answered.

"Miles, look! This is the drawing Leo made this morning. Isn't it nice?"

Leo had drawn a family of three: Mommy and Daddy holding his hands, with the robotics exhibition hall they had visited in the background.

Miles smiled warmly. "It's a great drawing. You've improved."

Jade pulled her son closer, her eyes crinkling with a sweet smile.

"Did you hear that, Leo? Daddy says you draw beautifully."

Leo waved at the screen. "Thank you, Daddy! I want a hug, Daddy."

"Miles, you just got back from your business trip. Leo hasn't seen you in days, and he really misses you."

As Jade spoke, her eyes brimmed with a coy affection, subtly implying that she was the one missing him.

Miles nodded. "I have some free time this afternoon. We can take Leo out for dinner."

Jade's heart soared. "I'll see you at the office later, then."

"Yeah."

...

That evening, Quinn returned home quite late.

Miles's face was grim. "Making Evelyn wait for you to eat dinner? What kind of behavior is that?"

He had planned to have dinner with Leo, but Evelyn had called, demanding he come home. Guilt-ridden for breaking his promise to the boy, he had Hunter drop off a Lego set to smooth things over.

"You stubborn child..."

Sensing her foul mood, Evelyn didn't push the issue.

At the York family dining table, idle chatter was strictly forbidden unless necessary.

The dinner passed in suffocating silence before they retreated to their respective rooms.

Later that night, Ingrid came knocking. "Mrs. York, all your things are back in the master bedroom. For Evelyn's sake, you really should sleep upstairs."

Quinn knew she had to play her part for a few days. "I'm just finishing up some work, Ingrid. I'll be up shortly."

"Alright, that's good."

When Quinn finally entered the master bedroom, Miles was on a video call with Jade and Leo.

The moment he saw her walk in, he slapped his hand over the camera, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Do I need to teach you how to knock?"

Too exhausted to argue, Quinn murmured softly, "I'll remember for next time."
