Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 183

Ever since moving to Belvedere Gardens, the little guy hadn't seen Raymond for days and was now clinging to him like glue.

"Ray, hug!"

"Ray, I want water..."

"Ray, my toys..."

"Ray..."

Raymond had gotten used to the peace and quiet these past few days. With the kid suddenly back and bossing him around, his responses were exceedingly frosty.

"Go play somewhere else."

Yet, the moment he refused, the little boy would wrap around him like an octopus, impossible to shake off.

Reluctantly, Raymond slowly fetched some warm water, dug out toy trains and building blocks from the storage bin, and sat beside him to play.

He wasn't even allowed to check his phone.

The kid would snatch it away, making it abundantly clear that he demanded absolute, undivided attention.

Raymond was speechless.

He cast a sideways glance at Quinn, who was hunched over a desk working diligently nearby.

"Hey, this is overtime. You need to pay me extra."

Quinn could clearly see and hear just how clingy her son was.

She turned over her shoulder and flashed Raymond a brilliant smile. "No problem. If you expand your services to include dining companionship, playtime, and bedtime stories, I'll definitely give you a raise."

Raymond's face darkened. "What do you mean, an escort?"

Quinn broke into a cascade of giggles. "If I'm the one you're keeping company, I'll consider giving you a third of my money."

"In your dreams. I sell my skills, not my body." Raymond rejected her without a second thought.

"Alright, alright, I won't force you."

Quinn mused to herself. After all, the only thing in his heart was his beloved Cullinan; no one else could ever catch his eye.

Quinn had neglected a lot of work over the past few days, so she buried herself in sketch after sketch, occasionally calling her team to discuss design modifications.

Seeing her deep in focus, Raymond withdrew his gaze, grabbed a carton of milk from the coffee table, popped in a straw, and headed straight for the door.
