Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 287

Although Quinn Yates had always been a rational woman, she was still human. She had emotional fluctuations, and she felt pain.

Learning that all her years of misplaced devotion—and the way Dante had hurt and neglected her—were due to a simple misunderstanding left a suffocating ache in her chest.

Fortunately, on her most vulnerable night, there was a solid embrace she could rely on.

Raymond Moretti gently stroked her hair, comforting her in a low voice. "It's all in the past now. You only deserve the best."

He was right. Who hadn't wasted a few years of their youth on the wrong person?

She deserved better!

Quinn lifted her beautiful, tear-stained face to look at him.

"Thank you, Raymond."

He looked down at her. "Is your stomach feeling better? Can you handle the car ride?"

"Much better."

She nodded and tried to walk forward, but her footsteps were still unsteady.

Raymond let out a low sigh and scooped her up into his arms. "Be a good girl and stay still."

Quinn, who had been squirming slightly, instantly stilled. Just like before, she rested her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Raymond, if only you liked women... how wonderful that would be..."

Just then, the courtyard fountain shot up a massive spray of water, drowning out her murmur.

Raymond didn't quite catch it. He raised an eyebrow.

"What did you say?"

But the woman resting against his chest had already settled into a steady breathing rhythm. She had fallen fast asleep.

With a helpless, affectionate smile, he placed her in the backseat of the car, making sure to grab a light blanket to drape over her.

Quinn slept groggily. She had no idea how much time had passed. In her dreams, she felt like she was still in the car, with soft instrumental music lingering from the stereo.
