Chapter 27 +25 BONUS Chapter 27 After I finished eating , Miles asked , Want to go for a walk ? Huh ? I blinked at him , feeling like an idiot .
He gestured to my wrist , still wrapped with the IV port .
The doctor said you can move around a little .
Just nothing too strenuous or tiring .
That was when it clicked .
Miles came home specifically to keep an eye on me .
He wasnt avoiding work or choosing not to check his emails upstairs he was quietly staying by my side to help me receiver .
I nodded quickly .
Miles motioned for someone to bring out a pair of lightweight sneakers prepared for me .
Lets go for a walk .
Just as we were about to head out , loud voices came from the front door .
I heard someone say , Miss Smith , Mr.
Wynn is busy .
Kiras fiery tone followed .
I dont care how busy he is , he has to see me ! How long does he plan to keep me dumped in a hotel ? Im not staying there another night ! Miss Smith , please … Instinctively , I shrank back .
The last thing I wanted was another confrontation with Kir .
I valued my life , my health , and my peace of mind .
Staying far away from people who hated me seemed like the smartest move .
Miles noticed my hesitation and reassured me , Ill handle this .
Wait in the living room , Ill be back shortly .
With that , he headed toward the commotion outside .
I sat in the living room for a bit , but curiosity got the better of me .
Unable to resist , I quietly followed him to the door .
There , Kira stood disheveled , dragging a suitcase behind her .
Her hair was a mess , and she looked utterly defeated .
I couldnt help feeling a small thrill of satisfaction .
Sure , it wasnt the most virtuous reaction but seeing her in such a state was oddly gratifying .
Miles voice was calm but firm as he said , Kira , I told you if you want to come back , you need to apologize to Eve .
But even if you do , you still cant stay here right now .
Evelyn hasnt fully recovered yet .
I froze , shocked , and inwardly wiped a bead of sweat from my brow .
The way Miles defended me so openly and unapologetically left me speechless .
It made me want to cry .
Predictably , Kira lost her temper and started to spiral .
She screamed at the top of her lungs , Miles ! When did you get so close to that tramp ? Youre calling her Eve ? Seriously ? Are you under some kind of spell ? Shes a disgrace , a woman with a terrible reputation ! +28 BONUS Miles voice remained cold and detached .
Kira , I dont like repeating myself .
Go back to the hotel .
He turned on his heel , clearly ready to walk away .
But Kira wasnt done .
She clung to her tantrum like a lifeline .
Miles , Im your cousin , not her ! Shes just Nicholas sister she has nothing to do with youl Ill tell Auntle youre bullying mel Then , as if to add to the drama , she burst into tears .
Miles stood in the night breeze , his presence like a stone fortress aloof , cold , and untouchable , Kira Smith , he said , his tone cutting through her walls like a blade .
Youre just my distant cousin .
And frankly , I dont need another cousin .
Having you or not makes no difference .
As for my relationship with Eve , Im very clear on that .
Kira choked on a sob .
Then why are you protecting her ? Youre kicking me out for an outsider ? She grabbed at his sleeve , but Miles reacted as though hed been touched by something filthy .
He shook her hand off with lightning speed , his face twisting in irritation .
Stop crying .
For a second , even I thought he might be softening , about to offer some kind of comfort .
Kira seemed to think so too .
But then he added , and his words left her and me utterly stunned .
Youre making a scene , and its late .
Your crying is going to scare Eve .
Go back to the hotel .
The air froze in silence .
Kira forgot to cry , and I forgot to revel in the schadenfreude Miles frowned at the driver standing nervously nearby .
