Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 126

Ivan kept his eyes fixed on Kieran. It took two to three seconds before he suddenly looked at him unhappily, snatched Kieran’s hand, and placed the developed photo in his palm, “I’m Mama Julie’s real kid, right? She is my mom, right?”

After speaking, Ivan took out his phone, opened his photo album, pointed at his own picture in the album, and then pointed at Julie in the photo. He pouted adorably, “Look, my mouth is exactly the same as Mama Julie’s, right? I must be Mama Julie’s real kid!”

After he finished speaking, he added unhappily, “I’m so adorable, definitely didn’t inherit that from you!”

“Mm, your shameless behavior is definitely not inherited from me.” Kieran glanced at the photo in his hand, “Where did you get this photo?”

Ivan immediately covered his mouth, seriously refusing to speak, then cheekily snatched the photo back from Kieran and held it tightly. He sniffled deliberately, “Just tell me, is she really my mom?”

“You only have one mom, how could she be a fake one?” Kieran snatched the photo back from Ivan, “Your mom is on a trip. Go back to your room and call your mom.”

Even though Ivan had known the answer in his heart, he was still surprised when he heard the confirmation from his dad. He was stunned for a moment, overwhelmed with emotion.

It wasn’t until Kieran turned around to go to his study that Ivan excitedly grabbed Shannon’s hand, “I didn’t fall from the sky! Shannon, I’m my mom’s real kid!!”

A kind expression crossed Shannon’s face. She squatted down in front of Ivan, gently stroked his head, and said, “Of course, you didn’t fall from the sky. Your mom had a hard time giving birth to you! Your mom is the woman who loves you most in the world. Ivan, you have to help your dad find your mom”

“Ok!” Ivan was obedient for the first time. He hugged Shannon’s face, gave her a big kiss, and then happily went upstairs with his phone. When he reached the stairway, he seemed to remember something and turned around to Shannon, “Shannon, thanks for the photo!! didn’t betray you!”

After speaking, he went upstairs while dialing Julie’s number However, Julie’s phone number had been disconnected.

Ivan looked sorrowful at the stairway, standing still. After a while, he seemed to have an idea. He opened WhatsApp and sent a video chat request to Julie.

Julie had just arrived at the hotel in Oakhurst. She had just taken a shower when the sound of the video chat came.

Tonight, even if Ivan didn’t contact her proactively, she planned to contact Ivan.

So Julie immediately answered the call.

Ivan seemed to be in his bedroom. As soon as he saw Julie, he became extremely excited, even somewhat speechless. Although he was always excited every time he saw Julie, he had never been like this.

Julie looked at Ivan on the screen with a sense of guilt, “Ivan, I’m sorry…”
