Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 86

Ivan was totally into anything Julie cooked. He was young, but already quite sensible and able to handle his own stuff.

After finishing the pasta Julie made, Ivan was ready to leave to give Julie and his dad some alone time. He wiped his mouth and said, “My dad just texted that he’s home, Mama Julie. I gotta run and pick up your paycheck for you?

During the time Julie was injured, she indeed took care of Ivan as agreed with Mr. Kennedy. But because Ivan was already a good boy, she didn’t do much. In fact, she was already grateful that Mr. Kennedy allowed her to live with Ivan, giving her a place to stay

As for the paycheck, Mr. Kennedy had asked her to talk to Ivan directly, but she hadn’t brought it up since the beginning.

When Ivan suddenly brought up this topic, Julie said to him, “I can walk you there, its just next door.”

She also wanted to take this opportunity to see Mr. Kennedy and thank him in person.

But Ivan firmly declined. “Mama Julie, you need to stay here and look after Kerry. He’s drunk as a skunk. It’d be a shame if he’s left alone, Helga is waiting for me outside, I gotta dash, bye!”

Ivan was quick on his feet; Julie couldn’t catch up with him. She had no choice but to look at Kieran on the sofa, whose blanket somehow ended up on the floor

Julie picked up the blanket and put it back on Kieran, then sat on the carpet by the sofa, rubbing her foot.

The doctor had told her to walk as little as possible when the cast was removed, but she had walked more today than she had in the past three months.

After a while, Julie dialed Karl’s number, but no one answered. She took out her phone and sent a message to Mr. Kennedy.

After waiting for a while, there was no reply, so Julie gave up. Then she lay down on the side of the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.

When she woke up again, she found herself sleeping on the sofa from the carpet. She was so dead to the world, she had no idea what happened. After sitting up, she saw Kieran sitting on the sofa across, staring at his computer, seemingly not noticing her

Julie rubbed her eyes and asked him, “When did you wake up?”

Kieran looked up at Julie, but didn’t answer her.

Then a woman’s voice came from the computer, “Sorry, Kieran, is there anyone at your place?”

This surprised Julie, she covered her mouth, not daring to speak. She didn’t even look at Kieran.

The woman’s voice was sweet and sounded very weak. But this voice was unfamiliar to Julie, and she couldn’t imagine why this woman was looking for Kieran.

Kieran calmly said, ‘Focus on your studies. If you need anything, contact Karl directly.”

-After a while, a response came from the phone, “Okay, I understand.”
