Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 145

Quinn pinched Raymond's cheeks, even trying to push the corners of his mouth up into a smile.

But he caught her hand in his.

He looked down at the woman's flawless, fair face. His eyes grew incredibly dark, glinting with an inexplicable edge of danger.

"I told you not to drink too much."

His voice was as low and cool as always, laced with reprimand.

But if one listened closely, there was a faint, husky rasp to it.

Quinn giggled, her eyes sparkling like crushed gold.

"It's my birthday today! I wanted to be happy, so I sneaked a few extra sips."

Her personality was usually quite steady, aloof, and disciplined. It was incredibly rare to see her smiling with such sly, adorable mischief.

Her face was so close. Her delicate, exquisite features looked like a perfect angel.

For a brief second, he was mesmerized.

But she gently pushed him away. Her steps were a bit steadier this time as she slowly walked over to the railing and stopped.

As her soft, warm body suddenly left him, a faint wave of disappointment washed over Raymond's chest.

Seeing her lean against the railing in her tipsy state, terrified she might fall, he quickly stepped up right behind her.

The evening breeze blew gently, carrying the refreshing coolness of the river. It brushed against her heated cheeks, feeling indescribably soothing.

She leaned over the railing and lazily closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, the smile on her face had faded. She tilted her head up to look at the sky.

The starry night was beautiful. The sky was like a vast stretch of black velvet, scattered with glittering stars—some piercingly bright, others glowing with a soft, gentle halo.

"The first time I came here was three years ago. The stars that night were just as beautiful as they are today."

"Standing here, it feels like you own the world. All your worries seem so trivial."
