Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 She Had Not Abandoned Him

Her hand gave him a sense of comfort.

Just like that, Julius allowed himself to be led by Quinn, steadily moving forward, step by step.

It seemed as if he didn’t have to worry about a thing. All he had to do was follow her lead, and he would be headed in the right direction.

Once they were inside the mansion, Quinn finally closed the umbrella, taking in the sight of Julius, who was drenched from head to toe.

At that moment, he was like a broken doll.

He hung his head low, his gaze fixed on their connected hands.

With a sigh, Quinn simply took Julius by the hand, leading him back to his bedroom. She even prepared a warm bath for him in the bathroom tub.

“Even though I’m not sure what exactly happened to you, for now, just take a good, warm bath to chase away the chill!” Quinn said.

Droplets of water persistently dripped from Julius‘ face, trickling down from his hair and body.

“What about you? Will you wait for me here?” he asked.

“Sure, I will. I’m your bodyguard now, so it’s my duty to ensure your safety,” she replied.

“What if you weren’t my bodyguard-” His voice abruptly cut off as he remembered that he had once asked her the same question.

What had been her response to him then? She had said that even if she didn’t guard him, there would be plenty of other bodyguards to ensure his safety!

“Never mind. I’m off to take a bath,” he said, releasing her hand and hastily retreating to the bathroom, almost as if he was afraid that staying would force him to hear something he didn’t want to.

Sinking into the warm water of the bathtub, Julius felt as though the chill that had previously soaked into his body was gradually dissipating.

After his father left just now, he found himself heading out to stand under the large tree in the courtyard. He couldn’t help but recall the profound despair his mother once felt.

Would his feelings for Quinn deepen to the point where he started to treat her like how his father had his mother?

Obsessiveness and insanity…

It was as if these two traits had been seared into the souls of the Whitethorn family members.

If both partners had mutual feelings, then perhaps the relationship could be blissful.

However, if it were a one–sided love, it often ended in tragedy, just like what happened to his parents!

After Julius had taken a bath and slipped into his bathrobe, he stepped out of the bathroom, only to find that Quinn was not in the room.

In an instant, his heart sank.

She wasn’t waiting for him here, so had she left him behind?
