Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 282

He was right. He must have shattered her heart completely, which was why she had packed up their son and left without a second glance.

Dante lowered his gaze, his fists clenched tight.

A suffocating wave of despair and regret washed over him, making it hard to breathe.

All those years ago at Silverpine Lake, she had endured the freezing depths to save him. And for all the years that followed, she had silently endured his coldness and neglect.

It was his own blind stupidity. He had let a lie deceive him and personally crushed her devoted heart.

Now that he knew the truth, no amount of regret could magically erase the deep wounds he had inflicted on her.

Seeing Dante staring blankly in absolute devastation, Parker patted him firmly on the shoulder. "Dante, you need to go find her right now. If you wait any longer, what happens if she falls in love with someone else?"

Dante's entire body went rigid as if a blade had been twisted into his chest.

The thought of another man taking his place, holding her hand, and spending the rest of their lives together sent a violent mix of jealousy and panic tearing through his veins.

Parker was right. He couldn't hide in this room drinking. He had to go to her!

Meanwhile, Quinn took a delicate sip of her wine, smiling as she listened to the ladies finalize the designs and timelines for their custom dresses. She was in a genuinely wonderful mood.

"Thank you all for your trust. I will put my absolute best into these designs to make sure they exceed your expectations."

"Quinn, the fact that we sought you out means we trust you completely!"

Amid the laughter, the women clinked their glasses once more.

Halfway through the dinner, Raymond called her. Not wanting to disrupt the lively conversation, she excused herself and stepped out into the quiet hallway to answer.

There was a window near the corridor. The gentle night breeze swept in, cooling the slight flush on her cheeks.

She pressed answer, and Raymond's deep, magnetic voice came through the speaker.

"How much longer until you're done?"

Before leaving work, Quinn had texted him about the dinner.
