Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 164

Recently, Julie and Kieran seemed to have gone back to a civil and respectful relationship, but never like now. On the journey back to Noblewood Retreat from the charity event, they didn’t exchange a single word.

Kieran was busy with work stuff. Julie didn’t initiate conversation either.

Not until the car smoothly came to a stop at the entrance of Noblewood Retreat.

Karl got out of the car, and then opened the door for them. Julie and Kieran walked into the gates of Noblewood Retreat one after another.

“Woof, woof…”

Suddenly, a large grey dog charged towards Julie. She didn’t have time to dodge.

Just as Julie closed her eyes, Kieran reached out to hold her waist and pushed her against the wall behind them. Kieran protected Julie’s head. She leaned against his chest, hearing his strong heartbeat.

“Coco, where are you going!” Ivan’s anxious voice came from behind.

The big dog immediately jumped onto Kieran’s thigh. Ivan wasn’t as tall as the dog. He called out Coco’s name while trying to pull the dog off Kieran by holding its waist from behind.

However, the dog named ‘Coco’ didn’t respond at all.

Julie had been terrified by a brown dog when she was a child. Now, she was so scared that she held onto Kieran’s waist tightly, closing her eyes and clenching her teeth while hiding in Kieran’s arms.

Kieran held Julie’s waist with one hand and buried the other in her soft hair, smelling the sweet scent of her hair.

After a struggle, Ivan finally pulled Coco off Kieran’s thigh.

Ivan, red-faced and panting, looked at Coco and said, “You can’t just pounce on people! This is my dad. If he’s not happy, he’ll definitely beat the crap out of you! Look, you scared Mama Julie right into my dad’s chick muscle!”

Kieran was speechless.

Hearing Ivan’s words, Julie finally let go of Kieran’s waist with some embarrassment.

Looking at Julie who was keeping her distance, Kieran pulled Ivan in front of him and corrected seriously, “What? it’s called chest muscle!”

Ivan thought for a while, then asked Julie, “Mama Julie, are chest muscles flesh?”

Julie nodded, “Yes…”

Ivan nodded with satisfaction, “Then is chicken flesh?”

Julie nodded again.
