Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 408

Raymond stared unblinking into her clear, sorrowful eyes.

He desperately wanted to lock her down, to forcefully declare that he had to be with her every single day, that he couldn't wait for her to 'cool off.'

But he was terrified that pushing her would only drive her further away.

After a heavy silence, he let out a ragged breath and surrendered.

"Fine. I'll wait for you. For as long as it takes."

"But remember this—"

"You are the only woman who will ever be my wife in this lifetime."

"Even if you never come looking for me, I am never letting you go."

"If you can never make peace with this, then I'll just guard you for the rest of my life."

Quinn froze. The sheer dominance, yet agonizing devotion in his words sent a tremor straight through her heart.

She lowered her eyes, burying the flutter in her chest, and said softly, "We both have work tomorrow. I need to get some rest, and you should go back early too."

"Alright."

Quinn turned and walked back into the villa. Even as she closed the heavy front door, she could still feel the scorching weight of his gaze burning into her back.

It wasn't until the lights in the living room and then her bedroom flicked on and finally went dark that Raymond still stood rooted to the spot, unmoving.

Sitting in the car, Caleb Jenkins felt like his eyes had been opened. He had always thought his boss was a ruthless, cold-blooded machine with zero interest in women, a man destined to die alone.

He never imagined there would come a day when the boss would stand vigil beneath a woman's window.

The only problem was—this was a tough gig for Caleb. If the boss waited, Caleb had to wait too.

"Boss, are we staying parked out here?" Caleb asked quietly.

Raymond shook his head, his voice heavy. "Back to Springhill Estate."
