She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 85

Quinn looked thoroughly exhausted. "Miles, do you honestly think anything I said today was wrong?"

Miles fought to keep his temper in check. "You told her I only invited her to entertain Leo. That was wrong. I never treated Luna like a prop."

A bitter smirk touched Quinn's lips. "You can say that all you want, Miles, but your actions prove otherwise."

Miles was caught off guard, his dark eyes deepening like a bottomless pool.

Thinking of the humiliation her daughter had endured today, being bullied and called a wild child by his and Jade's son, Quinn dug her nails into her palms. She was drowning in both sorrow and rage.

She stared at Miles, her gaze piercingly cold.

She headed upstairs, refusing to entertain the conversation any further.

Miles loosened his collar, clearly furious with her.

By the time he emerged from his study, Quinn had already settled on the sofa for the night.

Miles let out a cold scoff, his expression dark as he headed for the bathroom.

Standing under the shower, the thought of little Luna being disappointed in him made his chest ache.

Usually arrogant, aloof, and thoroughly self-disciplined, he was completely unsettled today, spiraling over a kid.

No, he had to clear things up with little Luna. He didn't mean to hurt her.

He walked out in his bathrobe, standing over the sofa in the outer room, and cleared his throat.

"Ahem... Quinn, give me the number for Luna's phone watch. I'm calling her tomorrow morning."

Quinn, who had her eyes closed, snapped them open the moment he spoke.

What exactly was Miles trying to pull?

"Quinn, I know you're awake."

Miles had noticed she was on her phone a split second before he walked out. Did she really think turning off the screen would fool him?

Just as he reached down to yank her blanket off, she sat up wearily.

Her voice was drained, weighed down by an overwhelming sense of defeat. "Miles, Luna was heartbroken today. Jade's son called her a wild child. That is the kind of damage you bring into her life."

The words pierced right through Miles's chest like a jagged thorn.
