Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 96

Kieran, holding Julie, froze for a moment before snapping back to reality. He asked the girl in his arms,

“Is this what you want?”

“What are you talking about? Put me down first! Julie clung onto the man’s shirt behind her.

Just as Julie was clutching onto the man’s shirt with one hand and gripping the door frame tightly with

the other, Kieran suddenly slapped her butt, “From January to February? You seem to know a lot”

After applying a bit of force, Kieran carried Julie into the room. Obviously, Julie’s grasp on the door

frame was useless.

After placing Julie on the bed, Kieran cheekily leaned in, looking at the girl in his arms, “You know

what’s the difference between me and a wolf?”

“You’re more brutal than a wolf” The first answer that came to Julie’s mind was this, and before her

brain could stop her, she had already blurted it out.

Kieran’s smile grew wider at her response.

“More brutal than a wolf? Maybe not. But I’m definitely hornier than a woll, Wolves mate from January

to February each year, but I can mate all year round. You’re aware of that, right?”

No matter what her answer was, Julie knew Kieran would either tease her or demand proof. So she

cleverly replied, “Oh

While Kieran was leaning over her like this, he figured that sooner or later he would surrender to

temptation.

He was well aware of how much restraint he could exercise around this girl, so eventually, under Julie’s

clear gaze, he let her go and stood up from the

bed

Kieran letting her go was something Julie hadn’t expected.

After the shock, she felt a fleeting moment of gratitude towards him because, just then, she thought of

her hospitalized landlord. At that moment, her desire to see her landlord punished became even

stronger.

However, just as Julie was starting to relax, she heard Kieran casually say, “No daydreaming before

your bath. I don’t sleep with women who haven’t

showered.”

Julie was totally dumbfounded,

She gritted her teeth but didn’t curse him since she already knew about Kierans cleanliness obsession.

Still, the fact that he could say something like that was really annoying

Julie straightened her clothes and sarcastically said, “Then please change the sheets later I’ve been

lying on them without bathing, What if I have a contagious disease?’

“How can sheets transmit viruses that saliva cant transmit?” He smirked, lightly touched his lips with his

finger, then picked up the remote and opened the closel door

Once Kieran started flirting. Julie was defenseless. When he mentioned saliva, she wanted to kill him

Julie got up from the bed. Before she could stand up, Kieran was already pulling her hand, leading her

towards the closet.

This time, Julie didn’t resist. She knew her resistance was futile, so she let him lead her to the closel

Kieran stopped in front of the wardrobe with Julie. He opened the wardrobe door, then said to Julie,

“Clothes, pants, shoes, bags, they’re all here. Wear whatever you like. Your stuff at Gilded Gate

Residences has probably been thrown away, so you don’t need to go back there.”

So he brought her here just for this.

The last time Julie came, she already knew about this closet. Whether it was at Noblewood Retreat or

in the CEO’s office of Simpo Co, his closets were filled with various brands of womens clothing, varying

in color, season, and style.

Julie felt a sting in her eyes as she looked at all the things he had carefully prepared for other women.

She subtly shifted her gaze and said expressionlessly, ‘Goodnight, Mr. Hernandez”

Julie didn’t pick out any clothes Kieran casu beda

of pajamas and handed them to her.

Julie didn’t take it. Since Kieran was blocking her wearing other people’s clothes.”

After hearing Julie’s explanation, Kieran couldn’t help choice but to say, “Thank you for your kindness,

He leaned against the door frame, blocking her only exit.

a closet full of clothes for her, yet she thought they belonged to

Then he asked, “How do you know these clothes belong to someone else.

Julie had seen these clothes. They were all Bertha’s size.

She calmly lifted the label of the pajamas, then said to Kieran, “If I recall correctly, this should be

Bertha’s size. Last time, I saw half of the space in your office wardrobe filled with clothes of the same

size. Am I wrong?”

Kieran nodded, “No, you’re not wrong.”

Julie felt a pang in her heart

She took a deep breath, Then…”

“But there’s one thing I can’t be sure of Kieran crossed his arms and leaned against the door. He didn’t

wait for Julle to speak and continued.

Julie looked at the man in front of her, quietly waiting for his explanation.

His deep eyes swept over Julie’s calm face. These clothes are indeed all the same size, but I don’t

know if this is Banha’s size. However, you can think

about whether this size fits you!

Julie had taken two sets of clothes from Kieran. As Kieran said this, she suddenly had a moment of

clarity

She and Bertha wore the same size! They used to be very close and often exchanged clothes.

If Kieran hadn’t just reminded her of this, she might never have realized that these clothes were

specially prepared for her by Kieran

Julie looked at the champagne colored nightgown in her hand and was at a loss for words

She refused to accept this fact in her heart No matter what Kieran said, she decided to remain silent

But then Kieran suddenly walked out of the door, shutting the wardrobe behind him. He then turned to

Julie, saying, “Given the way you look right now, I could say anything and you wouldn’t believe me

What size shoes does Bertha wear?

Julie was confused as to why he would ask such question, so she chose not to answer
