The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Protecting Her

Sidonie bit her lip. Naturally, she didn’t want Quinn to end up with Julius either.

However, at that moment, Trent’s demeanor stirred a faint unease within her.

Even though they are already divorced, why does it seem like Trent cares about Quinn more now than when they were married?

It’s as if he can’t bear the thought of Quinn being swept off her feet by another man!

Could it be that Trent has feelings for Quinn…

No, it can’t be!

Sidonie reassured herself. Trent loves me, and even though he’s still using the excuse of “just friends,” it’s merely to avoid gossip.

After a while, when the uproar surrounding Trent’s divorce gradually subsides, our relationship will naturally progress beyond just being “friends“!

“Sympathy?” Julius gave a low chuckle, a smirk of mockery playing on his lips. “It seems like Mr. Grafton really doesn’t understand Quinn at all!”

Who’s even qualified to show her, a woman of her caliber, a moment’s sympathy?

Moreover, he had never contemplated “toying” with her. Initially, it was curiosity that drew him to her. She had never abandoned him in times of peril, which made him want to keep her by his side. He thought that perhaps, in this way, his fascination with her would eventually fade.

Yet… the more time he spent with her, the more he found himself growing increasingly drawn to this

woman.

“I’m serious about Quinn. I’d be ready to be with her at any moment, if only she’d say yes,” Julius remarked.

Once these words were spoken, whispers immediately filled the surrounding air.

Marley exclaimed in surprise, “Julius, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you want to date Quinn?”

Date Quinn? Julius‘ eyelashes quivered slightly at the question. However, he felt that just dating wasn’t quite enough for him.

It seemed like he wanted even more than that.

“Quinnie.” Julius looked at Quinn. “If you’re willing, let’s be together. From now on, you’ll be my girlfriend!”

Quinn was taken aback, staring blankly at the person before her.

His voice, usually cold and detached, was slightly more hoarse than usual at this moment.

It was as if his gaze possessed a bewitching charm, capable of effortlessly stirring one’s heart.

Is he serious? Or is he just… saying that to save me from embarrassment?

could she possibly walk alongside you?”

With a mocking glint in his eyes, Julius looked at Marley. “So you think you can walk side by side with me?”

Marley flinched, then promptly lifted her chin. “Yes, I am from the Bridger family’s main branch. I am a better match for you than Quinn. I have the ability to stand by your side!”

She took great pride in who she was. As the darling daughter of the main branch of the family and holding a key position in Bridger Group, she commanded respect. Whenever the members of the Bridger family saw her, they would bow and bend over backward to please her.

The Bridger family was a prominent clan in Yarburn.

She reckoned she was surely the woman who deserved to stand by his side the most.

“Your abilities?” The mockery in Julius‘ eyes deepened. “Without the Whitethorn family’s support, how capable do you think you are? Marley, have you been pampered for so long that you actually believe you’re competent?”

His icy tone and the indifferent gaze turned Marley’s face pale in an instant.
