Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 135

The plane’s body bore two names that Julie knew like the back of her hand, “Joyce & Kieran.”

Karl stood by Julie’s side, keeping her company as she took a moment to take it in. He remembered when Mr. Hernandez named the plane, he chose the combination of the two names without hesitation.

Karl thought Julie would have been touched and would look at it for a while longer, but she acted as if nothing had happened, turning around and walking away as if nothing had happened.

Karl followed her awkwardly. Under the protection of her bodyguard, Julie headed towards a black van.

Julie turned to look at Karl, “Where’s Kieran?”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a voice full of excitement erupted behind her, “Mama Julie! I’ve missed you so much!!”

Before she knew it, adorable Ivan was running towards her like a little meatball, and then…he wrapped his arms around her slender legs. After the initial shock, Julie squatted down and affectionately pinched Ivan’s tender little face. Even though she hadn’t seen him for a few days, she realized how much she missed him.

“Why are you here?” Julie asked.

“Because it’s Saturday, no school!” Ivan’s serious yet innocent face made Julie give up on asking any further.

Karl opened the car door for Julie and said. “Please wait at Noblewood Retreat for a moment. Mr. Hernandez will be there as soon as he finishes his work to return your things.”

Kieran had never intended to give Julie a chance to escape, as there were two muscular bodyguards standing by the car.

Julie eventually got in the car, and the happiest person had to be Ivan. Ivan was sticking to her all the way. The Ivan who used to call her “Mama Julie” now said directly, “Mom, can you take me with you next time you travel?”

“Next time there’s a chance, I’ll definitely take you. But you have to promise me one condition” Julie reached out and tousled Ivan’s hair.

Ivan nodded in agreement, “Okay! What’s the condition?”

“If you call me mom, your real mom might not be happy. So…from now on, can you just call me Julie?”

“Mom, what did you say in your last sentence?” Ivan suddenly looked up, asking Julie with an innocent face

Julie patiently replied, “I said, if you call me mom…

“No, the sentence before that.”

Julie thought for a moment, “Next time there’s a chance, I’ll definitely take you. But you have to promise me one condition.”

“No good.” Ivan showed his cute little fangs at Julie.
