Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 I Never Doubted You

The fear that had once consumed her body still hadn’t subsided.

He’s afraid of… losing me.

“Quinn, I… I’ve really fallen for you.” He confessed softly, his voice reaching her ears.

A sudden stiffness overtook Quinn. What is he saying? In love? He’s in love with me? I must have misheard him.

However, Julius’s next words reached her ears with undeniable clarity, assuring her that she hadn’t misheard.

“I love you even more than I thought I could!” He murmured, “So, could you please stop making me so scared?”

“What?” Quinn said, taken aback.

Julius slowly lifted his head, his gaze meeting Quinn’s directly.

He was drenched from head to toe, with water droplets continuously sliding down his wet hair and face.

His pale complexion made his eyes appear even darker.

Contrary to his usual indifferent silence, at that moment, his eyes were filled with unease and, more than that… a fear of losing something precious.

“From now on, whoever you want to save, I’ll help you save. Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you do. You don’t need to put yourself in danger. Whatever you desire, I’ll help you achieve!” Julius said.

His voice was hoarse and deep, like a solemn vow.

Quinn stared blankly at the man before her. He was dead serious.

He lowered his head, gently pressing his lips against the back of her hand, kissing it with an almost reverent devotion.

“Quinnie, don’t leave me, no matter what,” he murmured, his words gently dissipating into the air.

Not far away, all color drained from Trent’s face. In that moment, it felt as if he was on the verge of losing something truly precious.

The sight of Julius holding Quinn was so glaring to him that he had the urge to rush over, to pull Quinn away from Julius’s embrace.

“Trent!” The sound of Sidonie’s voice brought him back to reality.

Show off? Who would dare to risk their life, rescuing people amidst the raging sea, just to show off?

Sidonie was displeased. “Are you speaking up for Quinn?”

“I’m not speaking up for her, I’m just… stating facts!” Trent looked at Sidonie, his lips slightly pursed, his eyes filled with hesitation and struggle. “Sidonie, why were you willing to save me from the river all those years ago, but now, when a child has fallen into the sea, you won’t even let me go rescue them?”

A flicker of alarm crossed Sidonie’s eyes. “What are you doubting now?”

“I just feel like you’re a bit different from what I remember…” he murmured.

In his memory, she was the kind of person who would recklessly lend a hand to strangers. Even in the face of danger, she would still rescue him from the river’s water, comforting him when he was disoriented and in a dire situation, rather than someone who would stand idly by when others were in danger.

“That’s because I care about you so much!” Sidonie said. “I was afraid that you’d put yourself in danger by rushing to help, that’s why I tried to stop you. If Quinn hadn’t dashed over to save them, I would’ve done the same for that child!”

“Is that so?” Trent looked at Sidonie.

“Do you think I’m lying?” Sidonie asked unhappily. “If you can’t even trust me, then maybe we shouldn’t be together. I’ll go tell the media right now that I have nothing to do with you.”

“Sidonie, that’s not what I meant!” Trent quickly clarified. “I never doubted you!”
