Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Pledge Of Devotion

“Because I like him, so I’m dating him. As for what’s good about him—well, he treats me very well,” Quinn said after thinking it over.

“Then I can treat you—”

Harlan’s words were cut short by Julius.

“Why stand at the gate? Let’s go inside and talk.” Julius’s tone was smooth. “Strictly speaking, Harlan, you’re Quinn’s little brother, so if you like, you could call me brother–in–law.”

“Ahem!” Quinn coughed twice and shot him a speechless look. Brother–in–law? How’d he come up with

that?

Harlan glared at Julius. “Aren’t you in a hurry? You two aren’t married yet. Besides, who can predict the future? Something you like today might not appeal to you tomorrow.”

“But I know Quinn won’t change. What she wants is mutual devotion, never leaving, never forsaking. If I stay, she won’t leave–right, Quinn?” While he spoke, Julius lifted their still–interlaced hands and pressed a kiss to the back of her hand.

Harlan ground his teeth so hard he nearly cracked them.

Quinn’s cheeks turned a faint rose as she pulled her hand back. “All right, enough–let’s head inside.”

The three of them walked into the mansion. Quinn was about to brew some coffee for Harlan when Julius caught her wrist and said, “Let me handle the coffee.”

Quinn considered it and agreed–after all, Julius’s coffee–making skills far surpassed her own.

Moving with unhurried grace, Julius prepared the coffee while watching Harlan. “Mr. Ingram drops in without warning, and Quinnie and I haven’t prepared anything special. May I ask when you plan to return to Jexburgh?”

Each time Julius sweetly called her “Quinnie,” the sound jabbed at Harlan until a vein pulsed on his forehead.

If Quinn hadn’t been present, the little warlord would probably have flipped the entire coffee table by now.

“Quinnie, when are you heading back to Jexburgh?” Harlan countered instead of answering.

“Me?” Quinn blinked. “I’ll return once the demolition paperwork for the old Bridger residence is finalized.”

Her parents were already buried, and their remaining estate matters were nearly settled. When the ownership of the house slated for demolition officially transferred to her, it would be time to go back to Jexburgh.

“Perfect. I’ll head to Jexburgh with you,” Harlan said with a slight smile.
