The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Bring Him Back

A pair of familiar eyes met Julius‘ gaze, along with that attractive and irresistible face.

It was Quinn!

Julius‘ eyelashes quivered slightly as he stared blankly at the person before him. She had managed to bring him back to his senses!

She hadn’t run away, hadn’t shown disgust, and most importantly, she hadn’t left him behind!

“You’re here…” he murmured.

“Yes, I’m here!” Quinn said, “Are you feeling a bit clearer now? Do you know who I am, and where you are at the moment?”

Julius licked his dry lips. “You’re Quinn Bridger, and this… is a room in my mansion.”

When he spotted the whips hanging on the wall, he instantly realized where he was.

This was… the most forbidden room in the mansion.

Back when he was a child, his father would often “punish” him in this room. To him, this room was nothing less than his worst nightmare!

Later, the reason Julius kept this room was to serve as a reminder to himself that if he were weak, he would only be manipulated by others.

Therefore, he yearned to become strong, to surpass his father’s strength, ensuring that his father could never hurt him again!

He just didn’t expect that after all these years, the illness he thought he had overcome would strike again, and on top of that, Quinn had even entered the room!

“How are you feeling now? I think I should take you to the hospital.” Quinn’s voice rang out once again.

“No need for the hospital, I’m fine now,” said Julius.

“But just now, you…”

“I really don’t need it. Besides, going to a regular hospital wouldn’t do me any good,” Julius said.

Upon hearing this, Quinn didn’t say anything further. She was about to get up, only then realizing that her fingers were still locked with Julius‘.

“Relax your hand a bit,” said Quinn.

Julius lightly pursed his thin lips, relaxing his left hand. Their hands, once intertwined, now separated. Just as Quinn was about to pull their other hands apart, Julius‘ hand swiftly wrapped around her waist, pulling. her toward him with a firm tug.

Caught off guard, she found herself tumbling onto him.

“Why did you…” She trailed off, lifting her head only to meet his deep, ink–black eyes.

He gazed at her, his lips parting slightly as he spoke. “Even with you lying on top of me like this, don’t you

feel any desire for me?”

Quinn met Julius‘ gaze. Their bodies were incredibly close at that moment. She could even feel the

coolness of his skin.

“If I truly desired a man, it would only be because I deeply loved him. That would be the only reason I’d want him,” said Quinn as she pulled herself out of Julius‘ embrace.

And so, their intertwined hands finally let go of each other.

Julius stared blankly at his empty hands, a sense of loss spreading through him.

“Let’s get out of this room first,” suggested Quinn.

Julius slowly rose to his feet. “Why did you come in?”

“I heard you groaning from inside. I called out and knocked, but you didn’t answer. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I barged in,” Quinn explained. “I’m sorry, I didn’t follow your

rule.”

Even if she didn’t mean to, when all was said and done, she had still ended up stepping into this forbidden

room.

“Don’t you have anything else you want to say besides this?” Julius stared at Quinn. After all, the wall full of whips and the gloomy atmosphere of the room could easily make one feel physically uncomfortable!
