Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 117

Since the preliminary round was set for 8:00 AM the next day and required early entry, and Lunas Crest was quite a drive from the venue, Quinn decided it was best for her and her assistants to book a nearby hotel room for the night.

With plenty of time left in the afternoon, the three of them went over their competition pieces in the room, making final adjustments and thoroughly inspecting everything. Only when they were completely satisfied did they carefully pack the garments away.

Lydia had called earlier to let Quinn know Leo was discharged and that Raymond had brought them safely back to Lunas Crest.

Quinn told Lydia she wouldn't be home that night and asked to video call her son.

"Be a good boy tonight, sweetie. You can come watch Mom's competition tomorrow!"

The little guy nodded enthusiastically, cheering her on. "You can do it, Mom!"

Looking at her son's chubby little cheeks puffing out as he spoke in his sweet voice, Quinn felt her heart melt.

Even through the screen, she wanted to kiss him.

"Is Ray there?" she asked, noticing his absence.

Raymond was on the phone with his assistant. He knew Quinn had called, but his dark gaze only drifted over briefly; he made no move to step into the frame.

Lydia glanced over and answered, "Mr. Moretti is on the phone."

Quinn didn't push the issue. "Oh, okay," she said. After giving Leo a few more reminders to behave, she hung up.

When the video call ended and her voice vanished from the room, Raymond finished his call, his expression somewhat grim.

For dinner, Quinn took her assistants to a nearby restaurant. There was a night market right next door, so they strolled around for a bit before heading back to the hotel.

As Quinn was walking through the hotel lobby doors, she nearly collided with a man. She quickly stepped aside to let him pass.

"You two head up first and finish off these snacks," Quinn smiled, lifting a takeout bag.

"I don't know, Quinn. I'm so scared I'll gain a pound!"

"Oh, come on, Sophie. We'll just work it off later!"
