Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 252

“Darling, my bad. You are the smartest and the best man skilled in helping with wearing bras in the world.” Julie said.

“You got it wrong!” Kieran said.

“You have the nicest pecs.” Julie continued.

You got it wrong again!” Kieran’s face was getting darker and darker.

Julie recalled the groveling words she had said that night. Although she couldn’t remember her exact feelings at the time, everything was recorded clearly in the video.

Julie remembered crying and saying, “Kieran, I am yours. I’m gonna have your babies, and loads of them. Please, I beg you, let me go. I promise, no more being stubborn or running away. I’ll cooperate fully with you in trying new positions.”

Julie never thought she could be so eloquent. But now, she’d rather die to repeat those words, especially when she was sober.

She didn’t think before she spoke, so she dared not show the video to Kieran. Julie hooked her arms around Kieran’s neck, tilted her head back, and kissed him on the lips. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Mrs. Hernandez, so adorable, was taking the initiative to kiss him!

Kieran’s dark eyes became even more profound. He opened his arms and picked up the proactive Julie. Her legs wrapped around his waist, clinging tightly to him.

Julie, fresh from the shower, smelled of sweet body wash, and it was irresistible. He let Julie kiss him randomly on the lips and his face. He knew Julie was trying to please him. Still, Kieran didn’t actively respond. Instead, he carried Julie to the soft bed and carefully laid her down on the blanket.

Julie’s hands were hooked around his neck, and her legs were wrapped around his waist, like a clingy child. He reached out for the camera next to her, but she clung tighter. After giving Julie a reassuring smile, he picked up the camera and put it on the bedside table without turning it on.

Julie sat up, looking puzzled at Kieran’s actions at this moment. She didn’t expect his next move after putting down the camera would be to turn around and pin her down.

They fell into the soft quilt together, and their lips met in a fierce kiss. In an instant, Julie didn’t have time to dodge. Kieran’s kiss was enchanting, making her unable to breathe or think.

Like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, the intense love finally swept away all her rationality.

Julie had set the alarm, and she was planning to get up early,the next morning to make breakfast for Kieran and Ivan. However, when she woke up, it was already half past seven. Kieran was not by her side.

She quickly got up, washed up, and hurried downstairs. But she found Kieran was already in the kitchen. Ivan had had breakfast and was about to leave. Noah was holding Ivan’s backpack. Ivan was about to grab his backpack, but when he saw Julie in the stairwell, he ran over happily, took her hand, and kissed her on the back of the hand.

Kieran came out of the kitchen, holding a cup of hot milk, handed it to Julie. Then he said to Ivan, “A real gentleman would kiss his own fingers, you know?”

“You’re so stingy. I don’t have a wife now, so I kiss your wife’s hand. When Julien marries me, I can lend you my wife’s hand, you cheapskate!” Ivan took the backpack from Noah and ran away quickly.

Seeing Kieran’s expression, Ivan knew that if he didn’t run now, he might get a beating

Julie and Kieran watched the clever but troublesome Ivan, feeling helpless and amused. “Did you turn off my alarm?” Julie asked Kieran, taking a sip of the milk.

Kieran leaned down and kissed her lips, and asked, “Are you going to the restaurant today?”

Julie nodded, “Daphne said she would come to the restaurant today to discuss her situation with Mr. Lionel in detail.”

Yesterday, Kieran had mentioned Sansa’s situation on the phone. Julie turned to Kieran and asked, “Is Sansa being transferred today?”

“Yes, Harding will take care of it.” He said, “I’ll pick you up after work, and then we’ll go to the hospital.”

Julie nodded. She got into Kieran’s car but couldn’t help and say, “But I’m a little worried. I don’t really trust Professor Fred.”

“Dr. Brice will accompany Sansa to the Tranquil Care Hospital. Tonight, we’ll invite Dr. Brice and Harding to dinner.” Kieran said. He hadn’t had a chance to tell Julie that Dr. Brice would accompany Sansa to the hospital, so Julie was surprised to hear it. But afterwarda, she felt very reassured. She knew she owed Dr. Brice a lot over the years.

Looking at Julie in the passenger seat who were lost in thought, Kieran didn’t need to look closely to know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Kieran turned to Julie and said, “Why don’t we introduce a girlfriend to Dr. Brice?”

“What?” Julie snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Kieran in surprise, “A girlfriend?”

Kieran nodded, “Yeah, Dr. Brice doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?”

What surprised Julie was that she didn’t expect Kieran to care so much about Dr. Brice’s personal life.

She suddenly laughed and turned to look at him curiously, “Why did you suddenly think of introducing a girlfriend to Dr. Brice?”

“Dr. Brice is a good man. Although he can’t find a woman as good as you, a slightly inferior girlfriend should be enough.” Keiran said. Mr. Hernandez not only thought highly of himself, but he also made her arrogant.

Julie was a little curious, “So what kind of girlfriend do you think we should introduce to Dr. Brice?”

“How about Adeline?” Kieran asked.

Julie shot Kieran a glance, unable to hold back her laughter, “Mr. Hernandez, you’re playing matchmaker all willy-nilly, you know? Adeline’s got the hots for Elliot.”

“Elliot sees Adeline as a sister, doesn’t he? Keiran asked.

That question left Julie speechless, “That may be true, but Elliot’s thoughts are his own. Just because he sees Adeline as a sister, it doesn’t mean Adeline can stop herself from having the feelings for him, right? After all, she’s been head over heels for him for years. She even left the Sanches family so Elliot could take over the

British branch. Do you think someone like Adeline would be open to blind dates?”

“How will we know if we don’t try?” Kieran responded.

Julie frowned, “Try what?”

“Call Adeline.” Kieran instructed.

This amused Julie. Despite having no idea what Kieran was up to, she dialed Adeline’s number.

“Juliebelle, what made you think of me?” Adeline’s voice came through the phone.

Julie responded, “My hubby wants to talk to you.”

After saying that, she turned on speakerphone and handed the phone to Kieran.

“Mr. Hernandez wants to talk to me? Is he going to give me a piece of his mind?” Adeline asked.

Even though Kieran and Julie had long forgotten about Adeline’s past attempt to kidnap Julie, Adeline herself couldn’t forget.

“Adeline.” Kieran’s voice was cold.

Adeline played along, “Hey, Mr. Hernandez, you wanted to talk?”

“Are you open to a blind date?” Keiran asked.

“Excuse me?” Adeline was stunned.

“A blind date.” Kieran repeated patiently.

Adeline almost choked on her snack, “Me? A blind date? With who?”

“He’s tall, handsome, and more gentlemanly than Elliot. He is a good guy.” Keiran said.

“Can I ask straight up? Mr. Hernandez, are you feeling okay?” Adeline turned off her TV just to make sure she had heard Kieran correctly.

Kieran’s voice came through the phone, “You were serious when you said you didn’t want to obsess over Elliot anymore, weren’t you?”

Adeline had indeed said that during a night out at a club. Clutching her phone, she responded, “Of course, I was serious. I’ve never been more serious. But sometimes, it’s not easy to do what you’ve decided to do.”

Julie could hear the sadness and helplessness in Adeline’s voice even through the phone. She frowned, and Kieran responded, “If you can’t do what you’ve decided, it’s because you’re not determined enough.”

After a long silence from the other end, Adeline suddenly said, “Tell me the time and place.”

Kieran hung up and handed the phone back to Julie. She gazed at Kieran in astonishment, “Mr. Hernandez, I just realized you’ve developed a new skill!”

“I have many skills you don’t know about.” Kieran raised his eyebrow, smiling.

Julie fell silent, and Kieran handed her his phone, “Dial Dr. Brice for me.”

Julie took out her phone and dialed Dr. Brice’s number. She turned on the speakerphone and handed it to Kieran, “Dr. Brice, I’ve arranged the favor you asked for. Any requests for the blind date venue?”

Dr. Brice responded, “Wherever is convenient for the lady, I’m flexible.”

“Alright, I’ll let you know once everything’s set.” Kieran said, and hung up.

Julie was dumbfounded, she asked Kieran in a low voice, “Dr. Brice asked you to arrange a blind date for him?”

“Dr. Brice’s family set him up with a blind date. The woman has been smitten with Dr. Brice for years, but Dr. Brice has no intention of showing up. So, he told his family he already has a date. Dr. Brice said if Harding can help him solve this problem, he’ll agree to move to the Tranquil Care Hospital with Sansa.” Keiran said.

“But, Adeline is actually in love with Elliot, that’s not fair to Dr. Brice.” Julie said.

“Dr. Brice’s plan is to find someone to fool his parents. If Adeline is his blind date, he believes she can make his parents understand that forcing him into a blind date isn’t the right move.” Keiran said.

“And what about Adeline?” Julie asked.

“Elliot will go find her.” Kieran squinted his eyes.
