She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 88

"Quinn, are you telling Luna not to answer my calls?"

Quinn frowned as she listened to the message, perfectly prepared to fire back and curse him out.

Yara shook her head quickly. "Quinn, that jerk knows you're stopping Luna from answering."

"If you provoke him, what if he sends someone to track her down?"

Realizing Yara was right, Quinn forced her anger down and typed a reply: [I didn't. Try calling again, Luna probably just missed it.]

Miles called again, and this time, Luna answered.

"Good morning, Luna."

"Weird Uncle? Good morning!"

The sweet, innocent voice of the three-year-old rang through the phone, irresistibly soft and endearing.

Hearing her call him Uncle melted something deep inside Miles. Stripped of his ruthless, cold corporate persona, he suddenly looked very much like a doting father.

"Did you like the phone watch I sent you?"

Thinking her mom had broken it but not wanting to complain, Luna cheerfully said she liked it. "I love it! Thank you, Weird Uncle!"

Those words unexpectedly pierced the softest part of his heart, filling him with a warm, unexplainable sense of affection.

"Weird Uncle, my brother said it's probably around eight or nine in the morning where you are abroad. Did you eat breakfast yet?"

Miles felt completely wrapped up in her sweet chatter, happily drowning in this sudden feeling of closeness.

But hearing she had a brother sparked his curiosity. "Luna, you have a brother? How old is he?"

The little boy in the space warrior hat flashed through his mind. He looked exactly the same age as Luna.

He had run into both Luna and that boy at the amusement park that day. Could they be related?

"He's... the same age as me."

Miles asked, "Is he your real brother?"

Hearing the conversation, Quinn frantically waved her hands, signaling Luna not to say they were biological siblings.

She was terrified Caleb would be exposed. Luna's features already resembled hers closely enough to make Miles suspicious the other day.

She had barely managed to throw him off the scent. She absolutely could not let Caleb's existence slip out now.

If Miles ever saw Caleb's face, there would be no hiding the truth.

Jade knocked and pushed the door open just as he hung up. Seeing the rare smile lingering on his lips, she paused in surprise.

Who was Miles talking to that put him in such a good mood?

"Miles, who were you... just on the phone with? You look so happy."

Remembering the fight between Leo and Luna, Miles decided not to mention Luna in front of Jade.

"Just a kid."

Thinking about that little girl, Luna, currently using a busted, second-hand watch brought a flash of vicious satisfaction to Jade's mind. A wild child only deserved second-hand trash!

Thinking about the gala at the hotel tonight, she softened her voice into a sweet purr.

"Miles, there's a gala at the hotel tonight. Will you come with me and relax for a bit?"

Miles wasn't originally planning to go, but seeing her already dressed in a stunning gown, he didn't want to ruin her night. He nodded in agreement.

Jade was thrilled and ended up having a few too many drinks. When they headed upstairs, she didn't want to go back to her separate room.

Miles had a hotel maid help her wash up and change into her pajamas while he prepared to head over to Hunter's room.

Jade grabbed his hand. "Miles, aren't you going to stay with me?"
