Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 52

Julie actually adored kids and had daydreamed about what she and Kieran’s child would look like. Although she figured it would be better if their child Inherited more of Kieran’s traits, the thought still filled her with excitement.

However, with the collapse of her failed marriage, her once soft heart shattered into pieces. So when a cute little boy with a baseball cap popped up in front of her, her heart almost skipped a beat.

The kid was wearing a baseball cap, and all she could see were his feet in flats.

At that moment, Julie was standing at the entrance of the Noblewood Retreat villa, blocking the path of Ivan

He looked up along Julie’s legs, and finally had to remove his cap to see who was standing in front of him. She was wearing an off–shoulder white dress with lace embroidered on it. The dress was designed fabulously, and dazzling rhinestones were on her pure white flats.

To Ivan, the makeup–free Julie looked stunningly beautiful.

She look a second look at the little boy and was about to leave, when Ivan suddenly let go of his intention to find his dad and grabbed Julie’s dress.

Julie stopped, looked down at the child, frowned, then squatted down and touched his head. “Do you want to get in this villa?”

Even though Ivan was young, he could tell that the beauty in front of him didn’t seem to like this place much. So, he decisively shook his head, saying, “My home is next door.”

“Ivan…” A nanny in her forties behind him tried to talk but was cut off by Ivan. “Shush or I’ll get your boss to fire you! Always nagging!”

Julie didn’t know whether to continue talking or not. The kid sure had a temper.

Ivan extended his little chubby hand, and touched Julie’s hand. A cute little smile emerged showing his tiny canine teeth. “Hey, beauty, I bet you don’t have a boyfriend. Wanna come home with me and be my girl?”

This was the first time Julie was hit on by a kid. Totally forgetting that she was at the entrance of Kieran’s villa, she smiled at the child and said, “You think we are a good match?”

“Sure we are! I can do anything! If not, you can be with my dad, and I can be with you!” The child winked at Julie, so cute that she couldn’t help but want to pinch him.

The nanny behind didn’t dare to step forward, not because she was scared by Ivan’s words, but because this was the first time the whimsical little master was being so friendly to a woman.
