Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 152

Julie understood the original intention of Kieran signing the contract with Bertha, as well as the deep brotherly bond between him and

Lucian.

She thought, if Kieran’s choice was for Lucian’s child, then she could understand Kieran’s decision and respect his past choices.

However, Kieran never told Julie that when he made these decisions. The first thing he thought about was her safety.

Kieran had always been giving, whether it was in the past or now. But Julie understood better than anyone that they had been through too much together, and some wounds were hard to heal once formed.

Julie didn’t deny that she was obsessed with Kieran at first, didn’t deny her intense dislike of him later, and didn’t deny that after going through so much, she still couldn’t erase him from her life and memory.

But…

“I understand his decisions, but he never told me why. He never thought that I’m not a pushover! Didn’t he ever think of telling me the truth and facing it together? Why treat me like an ignorant person?”

Just like Kieran said, when Julie was in love with him, he never said he liked her because he was considering for her, not wanting her to be in a relationship too early. But Kieran never considered whether Julie wanted to be in a relationship early, as if he was never afraid that she would suddenly change her affection, as if he had already determined that she would only like him in her life.

Later on, the decision Kieran made behind Julie’s back deceived her. He never talked to her about divorce, but forced Julie to sign the divorce agreement herself. Everything he seemed to do was for her good, and every choice he made was right and justified.

Julien looked at Julie for about half a minute before he chuckled and said, “Are all you lovebirds so sensitive?”

At that time, Julie was baffled by Julien’s look…

She asked Julien somewhat puzzled, “How am I being sensitive?”

די

“You said Kieran makes decisions without considering your feelings, let me counter-question, did you ever ask about his feelings back then?” Julien’s counter-question left Julie speechless.

Julien, like an experienced master, patted Julie’s shoulder and said, “What you should be most grateful for is that you are both still alive, there are no permanent goodbyes, and no one is physically impaired. Being alive is the greatest gift.”

Julien’s words were easy and relaxed, like a person who had been through a lot. But Julie heard his emotion.

Sometimes people demand too much and forget their original goal, forgetting that only the living have the right to make demands and desires…

Bertha didn’t commit suicide, even though we know Lucian misunderstood Bertha, but Lucian must have feelings for Bertha. And you happened to be at the scene when Bertha jumped off the building, meaning, we can’t guarantee that Lucian won’t turn his attention back to you because of Bertha. So, the
