Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 252
âDarling, my bad. You are the smartest and the best man skilled in helping with wearing bras in the world.â Julie said.
âYou got it wrong!â Kieran said.
âYou have the nicest pecs.â Julie continued.
You got it wrong again!â Kieranâs face was getting darker and darker.
Julie recalled the groveling words she had said that night. Although she couldnât remember her exact feelings at the time, everything was recorded clearly in the video.
Julie remembered crying and saying, âKieran, I am yours. Iâm gonna have your babies, and loads of them. Please, I beg you, let me go. I promise, no more being stubborn or running away. Iâll cooperate fully with you in trying new positions.â
Julie never thought she could be so eloquent. But now, sheâd rather die to repeat those words, especially when she was sober.
She didnât think before she spoke, so she dared not show the video to Kieran. Julie hooked her arms around Kieranâs neck, tilted her head back, and kissed him on the lips.
Mrs. Hernandez, so adorable, was taking the initiative to kiss him!
Kieranâs 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 didnât actively respond. Instead, he carried Julie to the soft bed and carefully laid her down on the blanket.
Julieâs 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 Kieranâs actions at this moment. She didnât 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 didnât have time to dodge. Kieranâs 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 Ivanâs 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, âA real gentleman would kiss his own fingers, you know?â
âYouâre so stingy. I donât have a wife now, so I kiss your wifeâs hand. When Julien marries me, I can lend you my wifeâs hand, you cheapskate!â Ivan took the backpack from Noah and ran away quickly.
Seeing Kieranâs expression, Ivan knew that if he didnât run now, he might get a beating
Julie and Kieran watched the clever but troublesome Ivan, feeling helpless and amused. âDid you turn off my alarm?â Julie asked Kieran, taking a sip of the milk.
Kieran leaned down and kissed her lips, and asked, âAre you going to the restaurant today?â
Julie nodded, âDaphne said she would come to the restaurant today to discuss her situation with Mr. Lionel in detail.â
Yesterday, Kieran had mentioned Sansaâs situation on the phone. Julie turned to Kieran and asked, âIs Sansa being transferred today?â
âYes, Harding will take care of it.â He said, âIâll pick you up after work, and then weâll go to the hospital.â
Julie nodded. She got into Kieranâs car but couldnât help and say, âBut Iâm a little worried. I donât really trust Professor Fred.â
âDr. Brice will accompany Sansa to the Tranquil Care Hospital. Tonight, weâll invite Dr. Brice and Harding to dinner.â Kieran said. He hadnât 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 didnât need to look closely to know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, Kieran turned to Julie and said, âWhy donât we introduce a girlfriend to Dr. Brice?â
âWhat?â Julie snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Kieran in surprise, âA girlfriend?â
Kieran nodded, âYeah, Dr. Brice doesnât have a girlfriend, right?â
What surprised Julie was that she didnât expect Kieran to care so much about Dr. Briceâs personal life.
She suddenly laughed and turned to look at him curiously, âWhy did you suddenly think of introducing a girlfriend to Dr. Brice?â
âDr. Brice is a good man. Although he canât find a woman as good as you, a slightly inferior girlfriend should be enough.â Keiran said. Mr. Hernandez not only thought highly of himself, but he also made her arrogant.
Julie was a little curious, âSo what kind of girlfriend do you think we should introduce to Dr. Brice?â
âHow about Adeline?â Kieran asked.
Julie shot Kieran a glance, unable to hold back her laughter, âMr. Hernandez, youâre playing matchmaker all willy-nilly, you know? Adelineâs got the hots for Elliot.â
âElliot sees Adeline as a sister, doesnât he? Keiran asked.
That question left Julie speechless, âThat may be true, but Elliotâs thoughts are his own. Just because he sees Adeline as a sister, it doesnât mean Adeline can stop herself from having the feelings for him, right? After all, sheâs 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?â
âHow will we know if we donât try?â Kieran responded.
Julie frowned, âTry what?â
âCall Adeline.â Kieran instructed.
This amused Julie. Despite having no idea what Kieran was up to, she dialed Adelineâs number.
âJuliebelle, what made you think of me?â Adelineâs voice came through the phone.
Julie responded, âMy hubby wants to talk to you.â
After saying that, she turned on speakerphone and handed the phone to Kieran.
âMr. Hernandez wants to talk to me? Is he going to give me a piece of his mind?â Adeline asked.
Even though Kieran and Julie had long forgotten about Adelineâs past attempt to kidnap Julie, Adeline herself couldnât forget.
âAdeline.â Kieranâs voice was cold.
Adeline played along, âHey, Mr. Hernandez, you wanted to talk?â
âAre you open to a blind date?â Keiran asked.
âExcuse me?â Adeline was stunned.
âA blind date.â Kieran repeated patiently.
Adeline almost choked on her snack, âMe? A blind date? With who?â
âHeâs tall, handsome, and more gentlemanly than Elliot. He is a good guy.â Keiran said.
âCan I ask straight up? Mr. Hernandez, are you feeling okay?â Adeline turned off her TV just to make sure she had heard Kieran correctly.
Kieranâs voice came through the phone, âYou were serious when you said you didnât want to obsess over Elliot anymore, werenât you?â
Adeline had indeed said that during a night out at a club. Clutching her phone, she responded, âOf course, I was serious. Iâve never been more serious. But sometimes, itâs not easy to do what youâve decided to do.â
Julie could hear the sadness and helplessness in Adelineâs voice even through the phone. She frowned, and Kieran responded, âIf you canât do what youâve decided, itâs because youâre not determined enough.â
After a long silence from the other end, Adeline suddenly said, âTell me the time and place.â
Kieran hung up and handed the phone back to Julie. She gazed at Kieran in astonishment, âMr. Hernandez, I just realized youâve developed a new skill!â
âI have many skills you donât know about.â Kieran raised his eyebrow, smiling.
Julie fell silent, and Kieran handed her his phone, âDial Dr. Brice for me.â
Julie took out her phone and dialed Dr. Briceâs number. She turned on the speakerphone and handed it to Kieran, âDr. Brice, Iâve arranged the favor you asked for. Any requests for the blind date venue?â
Dr. Brice responded, âWherever is convenient for the lady, Iâm flexible.â
âAlright, Iâll let you know once everythingâs set.â Kieran said, and hung up.
Julie was dumbfounded, she asked Kieran in a low voice, âDr. Brice asked you to arrange a blind date for him?â
âDr. Briceâs 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, heâll agree to move to the Tranquil Care Hospital with Sansa.â Keiran said.
âBut, Adeline is actually in love with Elliot, thatâs not fair to Dr. Brice.â Julie said.
âDr. Briceâs 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 isnât the right move.â Keiran said.
âAnd what about Adeline?â Julie asked.
âElliot will go find her.â Kieran squinted his eyes.
