Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 151

Mrs. Hayes looked at the silent Quinn Yates and asked, "Well? Have you thought it over?"

The thought of moving back to Belvedere Gardens and spending every waking moment with Dante still made Quinn’s stomach tie in knots.

"Mrs. Hayes, Dante might be in the dark, but you and I both know the truth."

"We've already signed the divorce papers. We aren't husband and wife anymore."

The idea of two divorced people living under the same roof was awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Hearing this, displeasure flashed across Mrs. Hayes's face, and her tone dropped a few degrees.

"What did you say when I first agreed to help you finalize this divorce?"

"I told you that for a two-month period, you still had to appear as Mrs. Hayes to keep up appearances at important social events."

"You clearly agreed to those terms. Are you trying to back out now?"

Quinn had indeed promised her that, leaving her momentarily speechless and unable to argue.

"I pushed the divorce through for you, and I agreed to let you have custody of Leo."

"I expect you to honor your side of the bargain. Go back and pack your things. Dante will come to pick you up."

Quinn stubbornly held her ground. "I can attend the gala as Dante's wife, but I don't want to move back to Belvedere Gardens."

Mrs. Hayes countered, "My husband still doesn't know about the divorce, and we will be temporarily moving into Belvedere Gardens for the next few days."

"This event is incredibly important, and Samuel wants to prepare for it there. So, to keep him from finding out, you must move back."

Mrs. Hayes had always been ruthlessly domineering.

With her final word delivered, she didn't give Quinn another chance to object, turning her sleek silhouette away and marching out.

Quinn was left alone in her seat, a wave of helplessness and frustration washing over her face.

She had finally gotten away from Dante, enjoying a peaceful stretch of days with her son at Lunas Crest.

Was she really going to trap herself back in the empty shell of Mrs. Hayes just because of a two-month agreement with his mother?

Belvedere Gardens was a suffocating, icy prison filled with the ghosts of their past. She thought she had escaped it for good, yet here she was, being forced back.
