Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 117

Chapter 117

“Cough, cough… Julie nearly choked when she heard Annalise’s blunt words.

Quickly, Annalise handed Julie a cold drink out of kindness before continuing, “Although my nephew Kieran seems aloof, he’s actually really warm-hearted!”

Julie gazed at Annalise in surprise, finally convinced that she truly was Kieran’s aunt. Who else could have known him so

well?

Finally recovering from her coughing fit, Julie took a sip of her drink. She was taken aback to see Annalise getting even more excited. While munching on fast food, she said, “You remember that time you let the air out of his bike tires, don’t you?”

Stifling another choke, Julie tried to steady herself before responding, “Let’s not bring that up again!”

At that time, it was Daphne who had suggested the idea. Only then had Julie gone to Futuro Business College to deflate Kieran’s bike tires.

Kieran disliked receiving special treatment and detested having the house staff pick him up. So, he cycled home almost every day.

Inspired by a romantic TV show, Daphne had said, “I learned a trick today that will guarantee you snag Kieran.”

Then, she handed Julie a baseball cap and face mask and said, “Deflate Kieran’s bike tires, then make it look like a chance encounter. You can offer him a ride. After all, you guys live next door, no biggie!”

“Deflate his tires? Julie quickly handed the wrench back to Daphne, “I can’t do that!”

“Just picture it under the setting sun, you two riding so close; you are pedaling, and Kieran is behind you. If you purposely wobble the bike, Kieran will have to hold your waist, thus he would be obliged to take responsibility for you. Isn’t that great?” Julie thought she must have been crazy to actually go through with deflating Kieran’s tires.

But she did it!

Julie skipped her last class, donned the baseball cap and mask, and went to Futuro Business College. She found Kieran’s bike and successfully deflated his tires.

When Kieran finally finished school, she proudly rode her bike named “Little White Horse”, and pretended to bump into Kieran, casually saying, “Kieran, school’s over. Why are you still here?”

“Waiting for you.” Kieran, dressed in a white shirt and black casual pants, sat on his bike and looked at Julie with an expectant expression.

Caught off guard, Julie looked at Kieran in surprise and excitement, “Waiting for me?”

Just as she daydreamed about the possible romantic outcome, Kieran took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to her.

Upon seeing the video, Julie’s face gradually darkened.
