Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 348

"Okay."

Quinn didn't ask any further questions and turned back to the private dining room.

The moment the door clicked shut, the playful smile on Luke's face faded slightly. He frowned, furrowing his brow as if searching his memory.

"Ray, why does your wife look so familiar?"

"Have I seen her somewhere before? She looks so familiar, but I just can't place it."

He was about to rack his brain further when Raymond cut through his thoughts.

Raymond's gaze darkened. "Drop it."

He paused, then added a solemn warning.

"She doesn't know my real identity yet. If you bump into her again, don't let anything slip."

Luke stared at him, utterly dumbfounded.

"With your status, you actually have to hide who you are to chase a woman?"

As a man sitting at the very top of the pyramid, a billionaire tycoon with unprecedented power in Harbor Heights, any woman would throw herself at him.

Raymond looked toward the dining room door, a rare, profound tenderness swimming in his dark eyes.

"She's different from other women."

"She loves Raymond the man, not my status or my power."

Luke could tell that Raymond was dead serious this time.

"It looks like you really fell for her."

For men from elite families like theirs, dating and marriage were usually about matching social standing and exchanging resources.

He was genuinely envious that Raymond could love a woman so purely.

He was actually willing to strip away his halo and stand by her side as an ordinary man.

Luke knew Raymond well. He was a man who calculated every move. If he was doing this, he had his reasons.

But he couldn't help offering a word of caution.

"You shouldn't keep the secret for too long. If your wife thinks you intentionally deceived her, she'll be furious. If she ghosts you, you're screwed."

Raymond nodded, his voice heavy. "I know."

She was highly intelligent. She would likely figure something out soon enough.

When Raymond returned to the room, everyone had mostly finished eating. Sitting down, he realized a small mountain of food had been piled onto his plate.
