Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 137

Stepping out of his car, Dante caught the exact tail end of Quinn's sentence.

The words "deadbeat ex" grated sharply against his ears.

In the past, no matter how fiercely they fought, she always maintained some semblance of respect for him in public. Now, she was openly trashing him to other people's faces.

This behavior was becoming entirely unacceptable!

Dante scowled, his expression as cold as ice.

"Quinn, could you please exercise some discretion when you speak?"

A cheating husband lecturing her on discretion? Was this some kind of joke?

"Dante, you're here? I was grabbing lunch with Yasmine today, and she mentioned wanting to see the location for my new studio, so we came over together."

The moment Vivienne saw Dante, a gentle, affectionate smile blossomed in her eyes.

Dante glanced at her. "Just make sure you don't get in the way of Quinn's moving."

Vivienne murmured defensively, "Of course not. We were actually just asking if she needed any help..."

"You are in the way."

Quinn cut her off coldly. "Both of you are a massive eyesore standing here."

Vivienne's lips trembled into a pout. "Dante, look. Quinn is always so hostile toward us."

Dante could obviously feel Quinn's hostility, which thoroughly ruined the good mood he had arrived with.

Yasmine chimed in from the side, "Exactly, Dante. Vivienne just wanted to take a quick peek inside to plan the renovations, and Quinn flat-out refused to let her in."

Dante frowned, wondering how he was supposed to smoothly invite Quinn out for her birthday dinner later if this standoff continued.

Sure enough, Quinn's mocking gaze shifted to him.

"Is Mr. Hayes also here for an early inspection? My lease doesn't end until tomorrow, so I suggest you all come back then."

Having said her piece, Quinn spun around, marched back into the studio, and emerged carrying another storage bin.

Dante stepped forward and clamped his hand down on hers.

"This is too heavy. Let someone else handle it."
