Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 156

In the end, she told Kieran, “If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have tossed that ring.”

“Regret it now?” Kieran asked, grinning.

Julie propped her chin on her hand and looked at Kieran. “Was that ring worth anything? If it was, I might have some regrets.”

“Yes, it was valuable.” He replied straight up.

“If I knew it was worth that much, I wouldn’t have tossed it. It might have come in handy when I was strapped for cash,” Julie said, casually.

But Kieran told her seriously, “In that case, it’s better you tossed it.”

Julie tried to switch the topic. Looking at the diamond ring on her ring finger, she asked Kieran, “So, was it your idea or Ivan’s to buy the diamond ring?”

What Julie was really asking was if Kieran had bought the diamond ring because he saw discussions on social media about her not wearing a wedding ring.

However, the answer was not as she expected. Kieran simply told her, “It was Ivan’s idea.”

She wasn’t sure what her face looked like at that moment. Julie calmly asked again, “So….did the salesperson recommend this ring?

She asked as she looked at her own diamond ring.

Kieran answered, “Yes.”

The always relaxed and confident Julie felt a bit awkward in front of Kieran at this moment.

So, she pretended to look around casually, “Where the heck is Ivan?”

Kieran still stared at Julie, saying, “You’ve raised a smart kid. He knows how to create opportunities for us to be alone.”

Their son had intentionally created an opportunity for them to be alone. He found an excuse to go to the bathroom and probably wouldn’t be back.

Julie looked at Kieran and responded without hesitation, “My son is quite the romantic, just like his mum was back in the day!”

She was saying that Ivan creating an opportunity for them to be alone was romantic, just like when she pursued Kieran back in the day.

Kieran laughed. His wife’s conversation skills had improved quite a bit.

Julie began to eat and didn’t speak anymore.

Things didn’t turn out as Ivan had imagined. Kieran and Julie finished their meal and went straight home without much interaction.
