In time , you may meet someone even better , someone more worthy of entrusting with your whole life , " Everett said . " That won't happen . To me , he is already the best . Uncle Everett , he is the man I would stake my life to protect . I love him with everything inside me . " Everett glared at his niece , his eyes as hard as hammered iron . After a long , heavy beat , he growled , frustration coating every syllable . " Seems I can't talk sense into you . " " Exactly , " she said .

Everett felt his heart seize again , as though someone had yanked the muscle tight . To the outside world , he was the sharp - edged patriarch of the Fane family , swift and uncompromising . Yet in front of this niece , he found himself disarmed , helpless in ways he could scarcely admit . Everett flicked his hand , dismissing her . " All right , go visit your grandmother ; she's missing you terribly . I kept last night's mess from her - do not let it slip ." Quinn stood , then hesitated , her gaze sliding toward Julius , still seated in the chair .

" What , do you imagine I'll swallow him whole ? " Everett barked . " Not at all ." Quinn managed a small smile . " Julius , stay and share some coffee with Uncle Everett . I'll go see Grandma . " Everett said after Quinn left , " Quinn may think you're the only man for her now , but she's still young . Her world has been simple . She hasn't met many admirable men . Give her time and options , and she'll realize you are not the best choice . " So , Mr. Fane , are you planning to parade suitable bachelors in front of her ? " Julius finished the rest of his coffee .

" Naturally , " Everett said . Quinn's certainty might be steel , but Everett was far from surrendering . Julius sipped the coffee , dark lashes lifting just enough to fix Everett with a cool , measuring look . In that instant , a tremor of instinctive fear detonated inside Everett ; those eyes made him feel 1/3 17:13 Wed , Oct 15 Chapter 480 Her Vows like prey pinned beneath a predator's stare . O : 38 +10 Free Coins " Sadly , " Julius ' voice cut the silence , calm as falling snow , " none of those men will ever manage to stand in front of Quinn ." Everett's brow knotted .

" Is that a threat ? " " Not a threat - just the simple truth ." He took another unhurried sip . " Quinn has chosen me . I will not yield her to anyone . From this moment forward , she belongs to me alone ." " You're arrogant . Do you really think the Whitethorn name lets you do anything you want ? " Everett sneered . " It isn't the Whitethorn name . It's the fact that no one on earth can love her more fiercely than I do . " Everett kept glaring at Julius , yet found no quick rebuttal . On that single point - Julius ' willingness to die for Quinn - Everett could not disagree .

Yet unease lingered . " Staying by your side places her in constant danger . " Everett voiced his biggest worry . " She is no weakling , and I will protect her with everything I have . If harm ever reaches her , I'll go with her - life or death , together . " Everett froze . The declaration was unmistakable : should Quinn fall , Julius would go to the grave beside her . How many men , truthfully , would ever have the nerve to let such bold words slip from their lips ? Everett pressed his mouth into a hard line .

The muscles at the bridge of his brows twisted so tightly they seemed ready to knot . " So - tell me when are the two of you flying back to Azania ? " - " Probably in about a week , " Julius Whitethorn answered after a measured breath . " We still need to wrap things up here , and Quinn wants a little more time with you guys ." " Then for this entire week ," Everett said , voice leaving no room for debate , " you and Quinn are moving into the old wing at Fane Manor .

I want her to spend as much time as possible with her grandmother ." 2/3 17:13 Wed , Oct 15 Chapter 480 Her Vows Julius blinked , surprise flickering across his usually impassive face . " I'm staying , too ? " 38 +10 Free Coins Everett shot him a sidelong glare . " Yes . You're staying too - with me . Keep me company . " How else am I supposed to determine whether this slick young up - and - comer is worthy of my precious niece ? During a late - night call , Laura learned that Julius and Quinn had indeed moved into Fane Manor .

Worse , Everett kept inventing chores and excuses that latched Julius firmly to his side , leaving the couple with precious little time alone . " Uh - your man is really just ... sitting there , behaving himself for your uncle ? " Laura asked . " Mm - hmm ," Quinn murmured . " Yesterday , they spent the whole afternoon tasting tea . Today they've been hunched over a chessboard - and they're still at it ." Laura clicked her tongue in disbelief . Usually , people lined up hoping Julius might grant them an audience . Since when did he waste entire afternoons indulging someone else ?

Especially when the man's every expression screamed cold , aloof , and untouchable . Now he was sipping tea and trading rooks as though it were second nature . A year ago , Laura would have bet her company that such a scene was impossible . Then again , it only underscored how much Quinn really meant to him . 3/3 Sara Lili Sara Lili is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
