The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 I Can Sue You

And so, she planned to visit the border for the fourth time.

“Quinnie, now that you’ve said yes to dating me, don’t even think about dumping me!” Julius looked up at her. His eyes, usually cold and distant, were now warm and gentle, full of charm.

It was like they were made to catch her full attention.

If it meant getting her to care more about him, he was ready to do anything.

Whatever it was, he would do it.

Over the next few days, Quinn stayed at Julius‘ mansion to heal her injured arm.

The injury wasn’t serious to her, but Julius acted like it was. He changed her whole diet and personally cleaned and bandaged her wound every day. He even moved all his work to the mansion so he could take care of her.

Although he was being over–the–top, Quinn couldn’t help but feel touched.

She could see that he truly cared.

A week later, the wound scabbed over. She still had to be careful with her arm, but she was mostly back to normal.

At the same time, she received an invitation from the orphanage, inviting her to participate in their activities.

It was the same one they visited last time on the island.

On the card, a line stood out, written in a child’s shaky handwriting: Ms. Bridger, I hope you can come watch my performance.

It was written by Minnie, the child Quinn had saved from the sea last time.

“Do you want to go?” Julius asked as he glanced at the invitation in her hands.

“Of course I do!” Quinn replied, eager to see how the child was doing now.

“Then I’ll go too.” To him, wherever she went, he would go as well.

That weekend, they attended the event at the orphanage. To their surprise, Sidonie and Trent were there

too.

“Quinn, what are you doing here?” Trent asked, frowning.

“Why? You can come and I can’t?” Quinn joked.

Trent was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve figured it out. It was Sidonie who saved me all those years ago, not you. Please stop spreading these lies. You’re only making yourself look worse.”

He turned to Julius. “Mr. Whitethorn, I hope you don’t fall for this woman’s act.”

Julius smirked and replied, “I always knew you were clueless, Trent. But I didn’t know you were this clueless. Say one more thing against Quinnie, and I swear, I’ll rip your tongue out.”

Trent felt a chill run down his spine.

Quinn looked at the quiet Sidonie, then faced Trent. “I told you before, if you believe it was Sidonie, then fine. But you have no right to judge my character.”

“You…” Trent wanted to argue, but seeing Julius standing beside Quinn, he backed down.

Many of the same donors from the last island visit had come to today’s event. The children performed songs, dances, and poems to thank everyone.
