Chapter 83 Standing Outside For Over An Hour

5 Five Colins

Marley, still on her knees, felt her face fall again when she heard that. It was like Murren’s words were aimed straight at her!

Ever since she got involved with Julius, everyone in the Bridger family had started treating her with more respect. It had been ages since anyone dared humiliate her like this.

Quinn could tell that Murren truly cared about her.

“Sure. I’ll definitely come by and chat with you,” she promised.

As she walked out of the ancestral hall, she saw a lone figure standing still in the quiet clearing outside.

It was Julius.

Quinn stopped for a moment, stunned to see him still there. He had really been waiting for her.

As if sensing her gaze, he slowly looked up and met her eyes.

Their eyes locked, and something stirred deep inside Quinn’s chest.

Julius stepped forward, walking toward her. “Everything done?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

“They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” he asked.

“No,” Quinn replied. “But why were you standing right outside the ancestral hall waiting?”

She had assumed he’d found somewhere nearby to sit and rest while he waited. She hadn’t expected him to literally stand in place the entire time.

She had been inside for over an hour.

Had he really been standing there that whole time?

“By standing here, I’d be the first to see you when you came out. Before anyone else.”

Quinn heard him say it just like that.

“But don’t you think… I mean, it’s a bit too attention–grabbing, and kind of exhausting too?” Quinn asked.

Julius was already striking enough in appearance. Standing right outside the Bridger family’s ancestral hall like that was bound to draw glances.

Just like now. She hadn’t been outside long, and several passersby were already sneaki..

“I don’t think so,” he said nonchalantly.

oks at him.

“Okay then.” Quinn rubbed her nose. In any case, the matter at the ancestral hall was done. “Let’s go back.

She took the lead and started walking.

“Quinn!” His voice suddenly called out behind her.

She paused, turning to look at him.

“You know, as long as you don’t walk away from me, I’ll always wait for you like this,” he said out of nowhere.

She blinked in surprise. What was that supposed to mean? Always wait for me?

However, Julius didn’t say anything further. He simply took Quinn by the hand and led her to the side of the road.

A silver Maybach was already waiting for them.

The two of them got into the car.

“When will your parents be buried?” Julius asked.

“Three days later,” Quinn replied.

“I’ll be there to see them off,” he said.

“You?” She was a little taken aback.

“They were fallen heroes. And they were your parents. I should be there,” Julius said.

Quinn stared at him for a moment, then softly said, “Okay.”

Once the two of them returned to Julius‘ mansion, Quinn retreated to her bedroom, where she received a call from Laura.

“How’s everything in Yarburn?” Laura asked with concern.

“Everything went smoothly.”

“And where are your parents‘ ashes now?”

“They’ve been placed in the Bridger family’s ancestral hall. In three days, they’ll be buried at the Hero’s Memorial Garden here in Yarburn,” Quinn told her.

“That’s good. They can finally rest in peace,” Laura said. “By the way, Harlan and I will be coming to Yarburn too!”
