Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 60

Julie wasn’t sure if Kieran was involved in the matter and it wasn’t easy to ask him directly. So, after hesitating for a few seconds, she finally said. “I just want to confirm if you actually don’t know which hospital Sansa is in

She didn’t know why she was so certain, but she believed that Kieran would understand her meaning. After a while, Kieran’s voice came from the other side of the phone. “Don’t use the donation money in Sansa’s name, because I didn’t donate anything”

It seemed that Kieran already knew about this.

1 see” With that, Julie hung up the phone.

Kieran, on the other side of the phone, turned his gaze to Karl’s face and asked, “Have you figured out who made the donation?”

Karl shook his head. “The other party was very secretive, and we haven’t found any clues yet.”

“Call Ivan over, and you can leave now,” Kieran told Karl.

A few minutes later, Ivan appeared in Kieran’s study, Karl said you wanted to see me?”

“Wheres your handwriting practice?”

Ivan presented his practice book to Kieran like a treasured item, “I practiced for an extra half an hourl Can I have my phone back now, dad””

So now he remembers to call him dad? Kieran expressionlessly opened the practice book, took a look, and then sternly said, “Hand over your phone to me now!!”

The practice book, filled with Ivan’s handwriting from the past two and a half hours, was indeed impressive. But whats with these messy scribbles of Kieran is single?

Upon hearing that his phone was going to be confiscated, Ivan quickly cowered his pocket, then looked at Kieran with an innocent face. The teacher taught us to be honest!”

“And so!” Kieran looked at Ivan, “Saying that I’m single is being honest?”

Although he wasn’t wrong. But Ivan didn’t dare to defy Kieran’s authority. So he could only pout, Kieran, you’re just jealous that the woman who kissed me is prettier than the nanny you hired for me, so you’re confiscating my phone!!

Hmm,” Kieran nodded. “There is that reason”

Kierans frank admission left Ivan speechless for a moment. After stuttering for a while, Ivan finally said to Kieran, “Karl said that you have symptoms of being single. I don’t know what that means, but being single is something Shawna taught me! Can you not take my phone considering I’ve learned a new word?”

Ivan tried to please Kieran by tugging at his sleeve. From the time he was born until now, he had never tried so hard to please Kieran.
