Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 329

Hugging Tara back, Quinn offered a small smile, though a sliver of disbelief still lingered in her mind.

Dante's sudden change of heart was just too drastic.

Just days ago, he had been an obsessive control freak, refusing to give an inch and promising to drag her through hell in court rather than grant her freedom.

How could he just surrender overnight?

A heavy knot of doubt remained in her chest. She worried this was just another sick manipulation tactic, a trap to reel her back into his twisted games.

Besides, she only had his mother's word for it, which wasn't exactly reliable.

While Tara was busy brainstorming dinner spots, Quinn's phone suddenly rang on her desk.

It was Mr. Wycliffe.

Her heart skipped a beat as she instantly answered.

Wesley Wycliffe's voice was as steady and professional as ever.

"Quinn, I just received the official notice from the courthouse. Dante has withdrawn his appeal."

"He also submitted a formal affidavit voluntarily surrendering custody and approving the original asset division agreement."

"I'm calling to confirm—do you still wish to pursue any further litigation on your end?"

Quinn's grip tightened around her phone.

If her lawyer was confirming it, it had to be real.

It was impossible to describe the wave of relief that crashed over her. It felt as though a suffocating weight had just been lifted off her chest. A lump formed in her throat, accompanied by a soaring sense of pure joy.

If Dante was finally letting go, she had absolutely no desire to drag out a grueling, traumatic court battle.

It would only drain her time and energy.

Plus, taking it to trial always came with unpredictable risks.

The smartest move was to lock in the settlement while he was surprisingly compliant and walk away clean.

"Mr. Wycliffe, I won't pursue further litigation."
