Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 422

"I'm not comfortable leaving just you and our son alone here."

He then glanced at the king-sized bed, which looked exceptionally wide and inviting.

"There's plenty of room if we share."

Even though the traumatic encounter with that pervert Zane had undoubtedly left a shadow on her heart, she was currently far more terrified of trying to figure out how to face Raymond.

"But... I need to take a shower," she murmured, her voice as quiet as a mosquito.

"Mhm," Raymond replied in a low rumble, looking utterly nonchalant.

"Go ahead."

Quinn was speechless.

"You should just head back to your place. This bed and breakfast has security cameras outside and in all the hallways. It should be perfectly safe."

Raymond clicked off his phone screen. Under the dim lighting, the sharp, angular contours of his face looked particularly stern and uncompromising.

"I don't want to leave. Trying to kick me out won't work."

Quinn stared him down for a few seconds before finally conceding defeat.

This man had always been domineering and forceful. Once he made up his mind, it was nearly impossible to change it.

But was she supposed to just sleep without showering?

In the underground garage, she had broken out in a nervous sweat while fighting off Zane. If she didn't wash up tonight, there was zero chance she'd be able to fall asleep.

After a brief internal struggle, Quinn grabbed her pajamas and padded past Raymond in her slippers, retreating into the bathroom.

Raymond sat outside, listening to the soft rustle of clothes dropping to the floor. Through the frosted glass, he could see the faint, alluring silhouette of her curves.

The longer he looked, the darker his eyes grew, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

As the warm water sprayed down, the dense droplets massaging away her tension, Quinn finally let out a sigh of relief.
