She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 83

Miles frowned. "Leo, the one over there is exactly the same. I can push you on that one, too."

"Waaah! Daddy, you're being mean to me!"

Leo threw his hands over his eyes and burst into a tantrum. Jade's heart ached for her son, and she immediately began coaxing him in a soft, soothing voice.

"Oh, Leo, don't cry. Mommy's right here."

From the corner of her eye, Jade shot a venomous glare at Luna, who was still sitting on the swing.

Seeing Leo crying so hard, Miles assumed he had genuinely been too harsh and softened his tone once more.

"Leo, Daddy Miles wasn't being mean to you. Please stop crying, alright?"

Leo pulled away from Jade's embrace, pointed accusingly at Luna, and yelled.

"Get down! That's my dad! Why are you stealing my dad? Don't you have your own dad?"

Luna, who had just been laughing so brightly, froze. The smile vanished from her face, and her sparkling eyes instantly clouded with tears.

She looked up at Quinn, her heartbreak obvious.

Quinn's chest tightened in agony. She immediately scooped her daughter up into her arms. Feeling Luna's small body trembling against her felt like a knife twisting in her heart.

"Luna, your daddy is just out of the country for work. When he gets back, he'll spend all his time playing with you."

That instantly cheered Luna up. She planted her hands on her hips and glared down at Leo.

"Why are you so rude? Did you hear that? My daddy is on a business trip, and he'll play with me as soon as he gets back. Unlike you, throwing a fit and forcing Weird Uncle to play with you."

Hearing Luna talk about her daddy coming back to play with her stirred an inexplicable emotion in Miles's chest.

"You!"

Leo's face flushed red with anger, and he charged forward, trying to hit her.

But since Quinn was holding Luna, he couldn't reach. Furious, he immediately turned to complain to his mother.

"Mommy, help me hit her!"

Quinn shot a lethal glare at Jade. "Jade, control your son. Don't let him act like an absolute brat."

Jade didn't see anything wrong with her son's behavior. "Quinn, Leo is just upset. You're a grown woman. Why are you arguing with a little boy?"

She feigned elegance and poise, acting the part of the perfectly well-bred, gentle mother in front of an audience.

Quinn had no intention of starting a screaming match in front of Luna. "Your son definitely takes after you, Jade."

"Let's just stop fighting, okay?"

As Jade said this, a triumphant smirk played at the corner of her lips.

Those words confirmed Quinn's worst fear: Miles had only brought her precious Luna here to act as a playdate prop for Leo.

A freezing chill washed over her heart. She was consumed by bitterness on behalf of her deeply wronged daughter.

She instantly regretted letting Luna come, only to be called a wild child by Jade's brat.

Anger surged through her veins as she locked eyes with the man in front of her.

"Miles York, you invited Luna for a kid's meal, but the real reason was just to use her to entertain your son?"

"Luna, we're leaving."

Luna was mad too, but she still wanted to hear what the Weird Uncle had to say.

"Weird Uncle, did you really just want me to come play with your son?"

She furrowed her little brow, her watery eyes full of betrayal.

Miles saw the disappointment in Luna's gaze and felt a strange pang. The reprimand he had ready for Quinn died in his throat, replaced by a desperate need to soothe the little girl.
