Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 319

Stepping out of the suffocating estate, the cool evening breeze brushed against her face, carrying away the heavy tightness in her chest.

Inside the quiet car, Raymond had checked his watch several times, a faint trace of anxiety pulling at his features.

Finally, he spotted Quinn walking out of the front gates.

She hurried over to the car, pulled the door open, and slid into the passenger seat.

The cabin was cloaked in a serene stillness.

His familiar, crisp scent instantly enveloped her.

The moment she got in, Raymond's gaze locked onto her face.

Even though she had only been in his line of sight for a few seconds, he immediately caught the lingering redness in her eyes.

Despite her calm exterior, she couldn't hide the fragile vulnerability of someone who had just been deeply wronged.

Raymond's dark eyes shifted with emotion. He kept his voice low and incredibly gentle, carrying a hint of careful hesitation.

"Did you cry?"

Quinn froze. She had tried her best to compose herself the moment she walked out the door.

She thought she had masked it perfectly, but he saw right through her.

She wasn't used to bearing her soul. She had carried everything on her own shoulders for so many years that gritting her teeth and surviving was second nature.

Averting her gaze, she stared out the window.

Her voice was soft, laced with a faint hoarseness.

"No. I just had an argument."

Raymond didn't call out her brave facade.

Instead, his gaze softened even more, a flash of deep heartache crossing his eyes.

"If someone wrongs you, you can always talk to me."

At the very least, he was willing to listen. Hell, he was willing to bulldoze everyone and everything that upset her.

Quinn lowered her eyes, her long lashes fluttering as she swallowed the lump forming in her throat.

"It wasn't even about being wronged. I just finally saw the truth and made peace with it."
