The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 A Resentful Father

Even if it meant getting hurt herself, she was determined to give Joaquin a good thrashing.

“You…” Astonishment flashed across Julius‘ eyes.

Joaquin, on the other hand, was laughing even harder. “Hahaha… Girl, you really want to hit me, don’t you? But why?”

“No reason, really. I just thought you deserved a beating,” Quinn bluntly stated.

Joaquin’s eyes slightly darkened. “Is it because of Julius?”

“So what if it is?” she said.

“What if I told you that not even the Whitethorn family’s legal team could save you?” Joaquin threatened. “Even though Julius is in charge of the Whitethorn family now, don’t forget, I’m still his father. His position as the head of the Whitethorn family may not be as secure as he thinks!”

Julius wore a solemn look. “If you dare lay a hand on her, I won’t let you off the hook!”

It was just a simple threat, yet Joaquin understood that his son was willing to go all out to fulfill it.

“Is she really worth it?” Joaquin asked, raising an eyebrow.

“She is,” Julius stated without a hint of hesitation.

In a fleeting moment, Joaquin saw a reflection of his younger self in his son’s face.

“You are my son, indeed.” Joaquin laughed. “But have you ever thought, Julius, that as my son, your fate might mirror mine? Even if you truly fall in love with this woman, there will come a day when she’ll discard you, just like trash!”

Julius‘ expression drastically changed.

Meanwhile, Joaquin continued, as if he was muttering a curse.

“This woman, even if she cares for you now, would she still love you once she discovers the real you? If she knew how dark and twisted you are, she’d probably steer clear of you! You can never attain love, so you shouldn’t harbor feelings for this woman from the start. You shouldn’t indulge in fantasies, or they will result in your downfall…”

“Enough!” Once again, Quinn rushed up to Joaquin, seizing him by the collar. “You’re his father, how could you speak of him like that?”

“It’s precisely because I am his father that I know better than anyone that a child like him simply doesn’t deserve love!” The smile on Joaquin’s face was twisted. “In your case, even if you care about him now, there will come a day when you’ll abandon him. He is destined to be forsaken!”

Julius body froze, each word from his father sounding incredibly jarring, so much so that it made him

nauseous.

However, he didn’t mind it, as he was already past the age of caring.

No matter what harsh words his father said, they no longer upset him.

What truly concerned him then was how Quinn would react after hearing those words.

Would her beautiful eyes show disgust when they look at me again?

The thought of her possibly looking at him with disdain made his heart quiver subtly, filling it with

unease.

“I’m not going to abandon him, so can you just shut up?” Quinn said coldly. “What do you mean he doesn’t deserve love? At least he’s far better than you!”

Julius suddenly shuddered, his pupils abruptly constricting as he looked at Quinn in disbelief.

“What a joke. Will you still love him after that?” Joaquin retorted.

“Sure, I’ll love him. So what?” she blurted out without thinking.

After the words had left her mouth, Quinn suddenly realized what she had just said.

However, at times like this, she absolutely couldn’t back down, so she continued to glare at Joaquin. “I will love Julius, and I’ll show you that he is someone worth loving! And you, you’re not even fit to be a parent. As a father, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution for treating your son this way?”
