The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 I Never Doubted You

The fear that had once consumed her body still hadn’t subsided.

He’s afraid of… losing me.

“Quinn, I… I’ve really fallen for you.” He confessed softly, his voice reaching her ears.

A sudden stiffness overtook Quinn. What is he saying? In love? He’s in love with me? I must have misheard him.

However, Julius’s next words reached her ears with undeniable clarity, assuring her that she hadn’t misheard.

“I love you even more than I thought I could!” He murmured, “So, could you please stop making me so scared?”

“What?” Quinn said, taken aback.

Julius slowly lifted his head, his gaze meeting Quinn’s directly.

He was drenched from head to toe, with water droplets continuously sliding down his wet hair and face.

His pale complexion made his eyes appear even darker.

Contrary to his usual indifferent silence, at that moment, his eyes were filled with unease and, more than that… a fear of losing something precious.

“From now on, whoever you want to save, I’ll help you save. Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you do. You don’t need to put yourself in danger. Whatever you desire, I’ll help you achieve!” Julius said.

His voice was hoarse and deep, like a solemn vow.

Quinn stared blankly at the man before her. He was dead serious.

He lowered his head, gently pressing his lips against the back of her hand, kissing it with an almost reverent devotion.

“Quinnie, don’t leave me, no matter what,” he murmured, his words gently dissipating into the air.

Not far away, all color drained from Trent’s face. In that moment, it felt as if he was on the verge of losing something truly precious.

The sight of Julius holding Quinn was so glaring to him that he had the urge to rush over, to pull Quinn away from Julius’s embrace.

“Trent!” The sound of Sidonie’s voice brought him back to reality.

Only then did Trent turn his head, looking toward Sidonie.

“It seems like Quinn is quite resourceful, managing to get Julius to rescue people with her. In my opinion, she’s just doing it to show off. After all, there are so many news outlets at the scene. She knew her rescue would be reported, that’s why she did it,” scoffed Sidonie disdainfully.

However, Trent remained silent.

Show off? Who would dare to risk their life, rescuing people amidst the raging sea, just to show off?

1/2

She was risking her life to save the child.

“I mean, she’s just too cunning…” Sidonic continued to disparage Quinn.

In the past, when Sidonie spoke these words, Trent didn’t think much of it. But at this moment, he found them particularly grating.

“Enough, Sidonie,” Trent interjected. “Quinn was just trying to save someone, just like you did for me in the river all those years ago. Were you just showing off then?”

Sidonie’s expression shifted. “How can you equate my saving you with what’s happening now? When I saved you, there weren’t any reporters lurking around.”

“There were so many people present, yet Quinn was the first to rush forward. Why didn’t those who were closer to the sea take action to save the person? Could it be that out of everyone there, only Quinn wanted to play the hero?” Trent asked in return.
