Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 375

The next morning.

The sky was bright and the morning breeze was gentle.

Quinn fluttered her sleepy eyes open, wincing slightly as she massaged her sore lower back.

The night before his trip, the man had claimed her with an intensity that bordered on feral, leaving her body aching far more than usual.

Raymond had gotten up early specifically to prepare a hearty breakfast for her and Leo.

On the verge of departure, he was incredibly gentle and meticulous, acting as though he wanted to set their entire world perfectly in order before he walked out the door.

Just before leaving, he crouched down and patted Leo on the head.

"Dad's only going away for a few days. Be a good boy, stay with Mom, and listen to her."

Leo nodded vigorously, looking entirely serious like a tough little man.

"Don't worry, Dad! I'll protect Mom! Come home soon!"

Raymond let out a low chuckle, affectionately ruffling the boy's hair.

Then, he lifted his gaze to Quinn.

She had changed into a stunning lavender dress, looking impossibly elegant and pure, her beauty blooming softly like a wild rose. Yet, a clear trace of reluctance lingered in her eyes.

"It's only a week. It'll fly by."

Raymond pulled her flush against his chest, his free hand gently tracing the curve of her cheek.

"I'll update you on my schedule every single day. Call me the absolute second you need anything."

"I will,"

Quinn agreed softly, quickly adding, "Be safe out there, and don't work yourself too hard."

He was carrying nothing but a simple duffel bag, looking for all the world like an ordinary blue-collar security guard heading out on assignment.

There was absolutely no indication that this man was a ruthless titan wielding unimaginable capital and terrifying power.

Quinn had originally planned to drive him to the airport, but he casually mentioned that the security firm was sending a car. Sure enough, a sleek black sedan was already idling outside the gate.
