Chapter 94
When Elliot left. Julie knew that he wouldn’t be coming back, so she grabbed her own bag and got up.
She wasn’t about to wait around for Kieran to come back and give her a lift.
She had planned to sneak out, but as soon as she opened the door to the private room, she bumped
right into someone.
The familiar scent of the man was something Julie could identify even with her eyes shut. Kieran didn’t
tell her that he had been waiting outside the door for two or three minutes, just waiting for her to fall into
his arms.
Julie tried to back away, but he held onto her tightly. No matter how tough she was, she was no match
for Kieran in terms of strength. Considering they were in a public place, Julie lowered her voice and
looked up at him. “Let gol”
“You came at me first, and now you want me to let go? The man’s deep voice came from above. Julie
looked up and saw his sharply cut jawline.
His facial features were strong and smooth, almost perfect from any angle. She turned her face away,
unwilling to look at him. “Just because I bumped into you, means you have to hold onto me? If I hit you,
would you just take it?”
“That depends on how you hit me. If it’s playful flirting, I won’t mind being hit Kieran caught a whiff of
her sweet scent. was the smell of her favorite shampoo and shower gel, a refined floral fragrance that
made it hard for him to let go. But in the end, he did let her go, instead taking her hand and leading her
to the dining table.
“Since you’ve already ordered, might as well finish your meal. Don’t waste food.” Kieran led Julie to the
table.
Julie was indeed hungry, so she started eating
After the meal, Kieran took Julie to his car. He didn’t ask her where she wanted to go, but told the
driver, “To Noblewood Retreat.”
“Mr. Hernandez please let me out at a convenient place later!” Julie said.
Surprisingly, Kieran agreed, “Okay!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy a convenient place, Julie meant a bus stop or a subway station, but she didn’t expect Kieran’s
understanding to mean dropping her right at her destination.
They passed two bus stops, but Kieran showed no signs of stopping the car Julie had no choice but to
turn and look at Kieran, but he was already pretending to be asleep.
So Julie had to tell the driver, “Austin, please let me out at the next bus stop Thank you”
Austin slowed down a bit, unsure if he could stop without Mr. Hernandez’s orders
Kieran’s calm voice came from the back seat, “Keep driving”
“Mr. Hernandez…”
“It’s not working hours. You don’t have to be so formal with me.”
“Kieran, I want to get off Julie said.
The man’s eyes opened slightly. He lazily looked at her, then said lightly, “Then you might as well
jump.”
How shameless!
Jump? He might as well have told her to go die!
“I’m not a stunt actor. I’m not good at jumping off cars, Julie responded to Kieran. “All you need to do is
say ‘stop, and I can get off. That way, I won’t be polluting the air you breathe in the car.
“Then I can’t let you off. You’ve already polluted a car’s worth of air, how can I let you go and pollute
the whole earth?”
Julle was left speechless. Kieran, the sharp-tongued one, could always leave her speechless.
He seemed to be determined to take her straight back to Noblewood Retreat. Suddenly, she
remembered that Mr. Kennedy had mentioned yesterday that Gilded Gate Residences was undergoing
renovation, so Ivan should have moved back to the mansion at Noblewood Retreat today. Therefore,
her destination tonight would also be Noblewood Retreat.
With that in mind, Julie stopped resisting. It was always good to catch a free ride and save some
money.
After a moment of silence in the car, Kieran put on an innocent face and asked Julle, “By the way, when
I came back from the restroom, where did Mr. Sanches go?”
Julie gave Kieran a sidelong glance. He didn’t mention this when he just came back from the restroom,
but him bringing it up now? Wasn’t this intentional?
-Julie replied with a poker face, “Isn’t he your guest? If you don’t know where your guest went, how
would I know?”
She was playing dumb.
Kieran pretended to suddenly understand. “Now that you mention it, I remember running into him by
the restroom door. I talked to him for a bit, then he went into the restroom, and I returned to the private
room. I thought he would come back after going to the restroom. I didn’t expect him to leave.”
He was really good at pretending! So impressive!
Julie was a bit curious about what Elliot and Kieran had talked about, but in the end, she held back and
didn’t ask.
Instead, it was Kieran who took the initiative to say, “Elliot said you’re just confused at the moment, and
that if I can’t treat you sincerely, I shouldn’t give you any hope.”
As he gaid this, Kieran seemed to suddenly become interested. He turned to look at Julie and said,
“What do you think, why would he say
that?”
I’m not him, how would I know…” Julie turned her head to look at the scenery whizzing past the
window. What she really wanted to know was how Kieran had responded to Elliot.
If Kieran hadn’t said something too harsh, Elliot probably wouldn’t have left without even paying for the
meal. After all, it was Elliot who had invited Kieran to dinner.
As if seeing through Julie’s thoughts, Kieran asked, “Do you want to know what I told him?”
“You can say it if you want to.”
“I said, the biggest difference between him and me is that even if I hurt you, you still love me as always.
But you’d rather hurt him than love him. Do you think I was a bit too harsh?” Kieran asked, fully aware
of the answer.
Of course, that was harsh!!
Julie finally turned to look at Kieran, and their eyes met. ‘Even though what you said isn’t true, you’re
free to say whatever you like.”
What Julie meant to tell Kieran was that she wasn’t going to love him unconditionally.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could this smart guy not get her drift?
However, he deliberately ignored her point, instead, he looked at Julie and said, “I chased away a
shameless suitor for you. Julie, shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
“Arent you the most shameless one here?” Julie murmured under her breath, not intending for Kieran
to hear.
But in the same space, her involuntary muttering was heard crystal clear by Kieran,
Before Kieran could say anything, Julie took the initiative. “Thank you”
“How will you thank me? A verbal thanks won’t do. His legs were elegantly crossed. His gaze was
intense.
Julie turned her head and pursed her lips, revealing a fake smile. “How about I make a statue of you
and offer flowers to it every day?”
Kieran raised an eyebrow, his gaze cooling. “That’s obviously not enough.”
“How about I have my descendants thank you generation after generation, and your great favor to me
is passed down in my family forever?” +
“You should have them respect me like an ancestor.” He smiled at Julie meaningfully.
His smile was too charming, too lethal….
She couldn’t help but say, “Fine! I’ll have them all recognize you as an ancestor
As soon as she finished speaking, Julie realized. If her descendants treated him as an ancestor,
wouldn’t that mean all her children would be his?
This man was indeed a tricky fox!
Julie simply stopped talking.
The car finally came to a smooth stop in front of Noblewood Retreat. Julie quickly opened the car door
and got out, not even bothering to say thank you, and prepared to leave.
Last time she heard Ivan say that his villa was next to Kieran’s Just as Julie was about to look around,
Kieran suddenly spoke to her, “Ivan’s at my place.”
“What?” Julie frowned and turned to look at Kieran.
Kieran didn’t explain, just said to Julie, “Come in,”
Julle stood at the door without moving. Ivan ran excitedly out of Kieran’s villa and hugged Julie’s leg.
“Mama Julie, I thought you didn’t want me anymore!”
