The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Violent Confrontation

Almost instinctively, Harlan wanted to rush forward, but Laura held him back. She said, “Today is Quinnie’s parents‘ funeral. Don’t you dare cause any trouble.”

Harlan paused in his tracks, pursing his lips.

“I wonder if Julius has a thing for Quinnic?” Laura muttered.

After all, it was almost impossible to associate that heartwarming scene with the image Julius usually presented.

Perhaps earlier, what she had seen as jealousy in Julius‘ eyes wasn’t just her imagination playing tricks on

her.

Harlan said coldly, “Stop daydreaming!”

“What, are you worried someone’s going to steal Quinnie away? Relax, she just got divorced. She’s not in the mood for another romance right now,” said Laura nonchalantly.

Harlan’s lips were tightly pressed together as he gazed intently at the scene unfolding before him.

Of course, he was worried.

Back then, he had already missed one opportunity. He only found out about her wedding after it had taken place, and it hit him hard that he had even lost the chance to confess his feelings!

Thus, he left the country in frustration, spending three years abroad. He had hoped that he would be able to let go of his feelings for her.

However, when he returned home and saw her, he realized in that instant that he was simply in denial.

On one hand, he was irked that Trent didn’t take good care of Quinn. On the other hand, he was relieved. If not for that, Quinn wouldn’t have ended up divorced, and he wouldn’t have another chance.

At that time, she had just gone through a divorce, and coincidentally, her parents had also just been laid to rest. Hence, he thought it would be best to wait for a while before gradually revealing his feelings to her.

However, out of nowhere, Julius appeared!

Once the funeral was over, Quinn said to Julius, “I won’t be returning to the mansion with you. I want to stay in the cemetery for a while longer, to spend some time with my parents.”

“Can I stay with you for a while then?” Julius asked.

“No. I’d like to have a private chat with them,” said Quinn.

The burial ceremony was attended by many who came to bid farewell to her parents. Yet, once everything had drawn to a close, she desired to spend some time alone with her parents.

Julius gazed at Quinn for a moment, then responded, “All right.”

He turned around and left, leaving Quinn all by herself. She stood alone in front of her parents‘ gravestone, silently staring at their black and white photos etched onto the tombstone.

In the photograph, the smiles of her parents were bright and unwavering, just like their conviction.

“Dad, Mom, rest in peace. From now on, I’ll visit you here often. And I’ll bring Rowan, too, so we can visit you together! What you loved and protected, I will continue your efforts. Also, I’m divorced now. I’ve always admired the love you and Dad share, but it seems I wasn’t as fortunate. However, even though I’m divorced and that relationship didn’t work out, I will still make the most of each day. I won’t let that failed relationship hold me back! My life is filled with so much more than just love! I hope that when I grow old and meet you both in the afterlife, I can proudly say, ‘I am the daughter of Montague Bridger and Arlene Gurney!“” Quinn was speaking softly to the tombstone, as if she were casually chatting with her parents.

However, hidden within those words was an overwhelming amount of longing.

Outside the cemetery, as Julius left the grounds, his bodyguard was about to approach him. However, a figure beat him to it, swiftly rushing forward and cornering Julius against the wall.

The bodyguards stiffened, readying themselves to take action.

Julius, however, lifted his hand, halting the bodyguards in their tracks. He then looked at Harlan, whose elbow was positioned against his throat. “What’s the matter, Mr. Ingram? Are you planning to lay a hand

on me?”
