Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 166

hapter 166 I Can Go With You

“Yup,” Julius admitted, knowing that an order from the military might convince her more than his own words. “Quinnie, you don’t need to protect me anymore. Let me protect you instead!”

Even though he enjoyed the feeling of being protected by her, which gave him a special kind of comfort, he would rather be the one to get hurt than see her injured again.

At that moment, Quinn’s phone rang again. This time, the caller ID displayed Harlan’s name.

Just as she was about to answer, Julius quickly reached out and covered her hand.

It was as if he was trying to prevent her from answering that call.

“What’s wrong?” Quinn asked, looking at Julius with a puzzled expression.

He pursed his lips, pulling his hand back. “It’s nothing.”

He simply didn’t want her to answer Harlan’s call.

Between Trent and Harlan, it was Harlan who really made Julius feel threatened.

He had already found a way to get Harlan to leave Yarburn and go back to Jexburgh, just so Quinn wouldn’t keep running into him.

So when Harlan suddenly called, it made Julius feel worried again.

Quinn answered the call and heard Harlan’s voice on the other end. “Quinnie, is your bodyguard job over?”

“How did you know?” Quinn asked in surprise.

“I just dropped by the military camp and overheard it. Now that your mission is over, when are you coming back to Jexburgh?”

Quinn paused. That’s right. Since the mission is over, I should go back to Jexburgh!

“Want me to book a flight for you? I’ll come pick you up at the airport!” Harlan sounded excited.

“Not just yet. I still have some things to take care of here. I’ll let you know when I’m heading back.”

Even though Harlan was a little let down that he couldn’t see her right away, he figured he wouldn’t have to wait too long. “I’ll wait for your call. Let’s meet up when you’re back. I have so much I want to talk about.”

“All right,” Quinn replied.

After the call ended, Julius asked, “Are you going back to Jexburgh soon?”

Quinn pressed her lips together. “Now that the mission is over, I do need to return to Jexburgh, but only after I’ve handled some personal matters. There are still things I need to take care of there too.”

“How long do you plan to stay in Yarburn?”

“Probably around ten days or so.” She wanted to take time to say a proper goodbye to Murren.

“Can’t you stay a bit longer for me?” Julius asked. He really didn’t want her to leave so soon and go see

Quinn thought for a moment, then said, “I can stay in Yarburn a bit longer for you, but not too much longer. And even after I return to Jexburgh, I won’t stay there long either. I plan to go to the border and search for clues about my brother. Maybe we’ll have to live apart sometimes. If you think that kind of relationship won’t work for you, it’s better to say so now.”

That was the arm she’d hurt while trying to protect him.
