Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 209

"Dante, just look at what an incredible wife I found for you!"

After the bell-ringing ceremony wrapped up, old Mrs. Hayes pulled Quinn into a warm embrace, grinning from ear to ear.

"With a speech like that, you'd be hard-pressed to find another woman who compares to her."

Old Mrs. Hayes had always adored Quinn. Over the years of her marriage, Quinn had only grown more poised, intelligent, and graceful. The older woman's affection for her deepened by the day.

Dante looked at Quinn, a storm of conflicted emotions churning in his deep eyes. "You're absolutely right."

"Now, where is Leo? Why haven't I seen him yet?"

Older folks always gravitated toward the kids, and old Mrs. Hayes was no exception.

Quinn quickly explained, "We left in such a rush this morning, Leo wasn't even awake yet."

Old Mrs. Hayes nodded understandingly. "Well then, you must bring him over to the estate tomorrow so I can see him."

Even though Quinn wanted absolutely nothing to do with Dante or the Hayes family anymore, she simply couldn't bring herself to reject the sweet older woman's request.

"Of course."

Given her advanced age and the fact that she was still recovering from brain surgery a few months prior, old Mrs. Hayes fatigued easily.

She turned to Dante and Quinn. "I'm going to skip the evening banquet. I'll head back to the estate to get some rest."

Dante immediately ordered his staff to ready a car and safely escort old Mrs. Hayes back home.

Once she was gone, the exhaustion finally caught up with Quinn. "Let me know when the banquet is about to start. I'm going to find a lounge to rest for a bit."

Dante looked at her, a rare flicker of genuine concern crossing his features.

"It's still early. I have the penthouse suite reserved upstairs. You'll be much more comfortable resting there."

There was absolutely no way Quinn was stepping foot in his hotel suite. If she went up there, it would only invite unwanted assumptions.

If that psycho, Vivienne Ambrose, caught wind of it, she would weaponize it and bite her head off.
