Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 93

Elliot invited Kieran for dinner, but he didn’t see this coming. Kieran brought Julie along.

Their lovey dovey behavior immediately stole the limelight, leaving Elliot feeling overlooked on the side.

Kieran was playing with Julie’s hair. Julie was about to push him away but stopped when she spotted Elliot behind them.

What a clever roundabout way!

Kieran glanced at Julie next to him. I already have a lawyer, so no need to bother

Julie thought the dinner would continue in this uncomfortable atmosphere, but she didn’t expect Kierans next words to be, I thought you invited me for dinner because of my ex-wife, so I brought her along. Turns out you were worried about my lawsuit. I misjudged you”

Julie gave Kieran a sideways glance, feeling like the whole world owed him an Oscar With such acting skills, it was a shame not to be a movie star.

Since Kieran had stated his thoughts, there was no reason for Elliot to continue talking about irrelevant matters.
