She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 80

"What... what nonsense are you spouting? How... how could I possibly be Luna's mother?"

Miles obviously knew she couldn't be the mother. He just couldn't stand her acting like one and making decisions on the child's behalf.

"Why are you reacting like that? You're not her mother, so what gives you the right to reject me for her?"

Realizing that was all he meant, Quinn's racing heart finally began to settle.

"That's... because Yara is my best friend. I treat Luna like my own daughter, and she adores me."

Miles had no interest in her explanations. "Enough. I don't need you to pass on any messages. Just give me the kid's number, and I'll call her myself."

Miles pulled out his phone, waiting for her to dictate the digits. "Kids these days all have smartwatches, right?"

Quinn masked her panic with a cold, distant look. "She doesn't."

Miles narrowed his eyes, studying her with a hint of suspicion. "If you refuse to give me her contact info, I have my ways of finding out. I only asked you because I didn't want to startle her."

The panic Quinn had just managed to suppress instantly spiked again. She hurriedly intervened.

"Miles, you can't look into her! You'll terrify the poor girl."

Evelyn walked over, her interest piqued the moment she heard them talking about a child.

"Miles, do you like kids?"

The question caught him completely off guard.

Did he like kids?

He didn't hate them, he supposed.

But if it was little Luna, he actually quite liked her.

Miles stated calmly, "Evelyn... I just wanted to apologize to a kid and asked Quinn to invite her out. Instead, she took it upon herself to reject me."

Evelyn smiled gently. "Quinn, that isn't right. How do you know the little girl doesn't want to come if you haven't even asked her?"

"Luna, do you want to get a kids' meal with that Weird Uncle? He said he wants to apologize for last time and invited you out."

Ever since that day when Miles had called Quinn and the two toddlers had answered the phone, they had been plotting.

For the past two days, the siblings had been sneaking off, putting their little heads together and whispering endlessly.

They debated back and forth, counting on their tiny fingers, until they finally reached a consensus.

That Weird Uncle was highly likely their Daddy.

If there was a chance to get close to him, of course she wanted to go. Secretly, she had been hoping for an excuse to see him again.

She wanted to figure out with her brother why Mommy was hiding their existence from their Daddy.

Luna looked over at her brother, and Caleb gave a firm nod.

Tilting her head up, Luna gave her mother a sweet, milky smile. "Mommy, I want to go."
