Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 85

Kieran had Julie pinned against the door. This seemed to be Mr. Hernandez’s favorite way of interacting.

Maybe because he’d done this so many times, Julie had developed a conditioned reflex.

The moment Kieran bent his head down, she already had her hands covering her mouth, successfully blocking him. Her eyes were glaring at Kieran. If looks could kill, Kieran would have been a goner

Looking at the fiercely resisting Julie in his arms, Kieran let out a devilish smirk. Standing opposite the crystal chandelier, his tall figure completely blocked all the light from Julie’s sight.

Kieran had one hand braced against the door behind Julie. His head was less than two inches away from her, smiling at her

“Julie?” His deep voice sounded above Julie’s head, a scent of red wine filling the air

His other hand was on her waist. He held her tenderly, his warm fingers just stroking her, his eyes deep and unfathomable as he gazed at her.

The atmosphere in the room became subtly charged.

Julie felt warmth spreading at her waist. She lowered her hands from her mouth, attempting to push him away To her surprise, he suddenly bent down and picked her up. After just a few steps, he put her down on the couch, then pinned her tightly.

Unable to fight back, Julie stared at Kieran seriously. “Are you drunk?”

“Darling, I’m not drunk.” His long fingers lifted her chin and as he spoke, he gently planted a kiss on her lips.

This unexpected kiss left a deep imprint in Julie’s mind. He must be drunk, otherwise he wouldn’t call her darling.

Julie pushed Kieran’s hand away, shoving at his chest, “Get off me!”

Due to the struggle just now, two buttons of Kieran’s shirt were already undone. Now with Julie’s hand on his firm chest, she instantly felt his warmth.

Julie quickly withdrew her hand, then slapped Kierans face

But he swiftly caught her hand, his other arm wrapping around her waist. He lifted her up, and then pushed her to sit on him.

She tried to squirm out of Kieran’s grip, but his hand didn’t budge.

Eventually, Julie gave up, telling Kieran directly. “You’re mistaken, I’m not Annalise!”

“I know.” He looked at her, his eyes deep as the dark abyss.

“Then who am I?” Julie asked, trying to hold back her irritation

“My wife.’ Kieran replied without hesitation.

-“You mean ex-wife Julie tried to correct him.

“Still my wife.” He insisted, even frowning a bit stubbornly, looking very serious.
