Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 364

"Grandma, I..."

"Silly girl, don't cry."

Old Mrs. Hayes reached out and gently patted the back of Quinn's hand. There was not a single word of blame, only profound heartbreak for her.

"I don't blame you."

"I know you've suffered too much injustice over these past few years. You were thoroughly brokenhearted, which is why you divorced him."

Old Mrs. Hayes let out a soft sigh, inevitably feeling a pang of regret in her heart.

"It was Dante who was a fool!"

"He was blinded by Vivienne's cheap little tricks, unable to tell glass from diamonds."

"Losing you is his own doing. He deserves it!"

Knowing that she had made the elderly woman sad still tore at Quinn's heart, leaving her eyes rimmed with red.

"Grandma."

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you."

"Dante and I divorced a long time ago."

"I kept it a secret because I was terrified the shock would break your heart and ruin your health. I really... didn't mean to deceive you."

"I know."

The elderly woman had always been perceptive, her mind as clear as glass.

Quinn froze again. "You already knew?"

Old Mrs. Hayes nodded. "Back during the bell-ringing ceremony for the branch company going public, you didn't strike the bell with him."

"Even though you said all the right, polite things, I still sensed how cold and distant you were toward him."

Quinn was entirely stunned. She hadn't realized her grandmother had noticed the tension between them all the way back then.

Old Mrs. Hayes didn't try to mediate or suggest they get back together; she simply comforted Quinn.

"My good girl, it's all in the past now."
