Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 66

After all these years, Julie didn’t expect to meet Annalise again, and certainly not in this kind of situation.

Kieran was still on top of her, lips locked with hers.

Annalise was dressed in a delicate Chanel dress and a pair of champagne–colored high heels, her face beautiful and makeup exquisite. Time had left no traces on her face. Even standing there, she exuded an air of elegance.

“Out!” Kieran grabbed a blanket from the side, covering Julie, and frowned at Annalise in annoyance.

However, before Annalise left the room and closed the door, Julie quickly threw off the blanket. She was fully dressed, why hide?

By the time Annalise had just pushed open the room door, she must have seen her already. The one without pants was clearly Kieran

The ambiguous atmosphere just now had dissipated. Julie regained her senses. She straightened her clothes and then looked at Kieran from the edge of the bed. “Should I leave now or wait a bit?”

Let’s grab some food.” Kieran opened his wardrobe, casually picked up a pair of long pants to put on, and then pulled Julie and walked out.

Julie freed herself from his grip and walked out of the room on her own.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” Kieran asked Annalise, then gave Karl a meaningful look.

Then, he pulled Julie back to his side in case she tried to make a run for it.

Karl was speechless.

He never expected Annalise would know the passcode to the lounge!

Annalise looked at Julie and laughed, “So, have you two rekindled an old flame? Or was it just an accident?”

“Ms. Annalise, you’ve got it all wrong. I barely know Mr. Hernandez, let alone have any old feelings for him.”

Julie calmly removed Kieran’s hand from her shoulder, her expression collected. There was no hint of ambiguity in her gaze.

After Julie shook off his hand, Kieran once again held her hand and led her to sit on the sofa. He pushed all the food in front of her, saying, “Eat first”

He knew Julie had a serious gastritis.

Even though she was hungry now, with Annalise staring at her, she really couldn’t eat.

Julie simply picked up the lunch box, then nodded at Kieran in thanks, “Thanks for the lunch.”

This time, Kieran didn’t stop her.

The sound of Julie closing the door was light and polite.

Kieran turned his head and told Karl, “Make sure she finishes her meal.”

Karl left with a guilty conscience.
