Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 158

Kieran shot Julie a slight smile, asking her, “Are you full?”

Julie instantly shook her head, “I can still eat.”

Julie learned the ability to adapt on the fly from Daphne.

Kieran forked a piece of tomato and offered it to Julie, asking, “You want some?”

Julie shook her head, pushing away the fork in his hand, “No thanks.”

“Do you want some?” he asked again.

Julie was speechless.

She bit off the tomato he offered, then looked at him with a cold expression, “So, can you take me to the Primeval charity event now?”

“Then why did you reject it just now?” Kieran casually asked Julie, while elegantly eating with the fork she had just used.

Julie rolled her eyes, saying, “I changed my mind, okay? Can you take me?”

“Who said anything about taking you?” Kieran cut a piece of steak and handed it to Julie..

Julie took a bite of the steak and mumbled back, “Didn’t you say you wanted me to be your plus one? Of course it’s you who’s taking me.”

“Who am I?” Kieran looked at Julie unhurriedly, as if asking with interest.

Only then did Julie realize the crux of the matter…

She thought for a moment and answered without any hesitation, “How would you like me to address you?”

“What addresses can you think of?” Kieran asked.

“Mr. Hernandez? Kieran?”

“Something more intimate.” Kieran hinted.

Julie naturally understood Kieran’s meaning. It’s just a name, she thought. She had called him that before. She put on a fake smile, “More intimate? Kerry? Honey? Darling? Hubby?”

“Combine the last two.” he instructed.

Julie put on her usual fake smile, “Darling hubby, can you take me to the Primeval charity event tonight?”

“It would be better if you could smile more sincerely.”

“Darling hubby…” Julie looked at Kieran with a sincere smile, but her tone turned icy when she said the next sentence, “Forget it, I’m not going! Move it!!”

Kieran knew all along that Julie was a feisty one. She was like this in school. Life only hides a person’s sharp edges, but it can’t smooth them all out. The hidden edges on Julie, he would be the one to bring them all back to the surface.
