Love’s Cunning Ruse
Chapter 189
Chapter 189
Julie realized she shouldn’t pry into what Kieran was hiding from her because the answer might give her insomnia tonight. So she decided to ask the question she’d always wanted to know.
“So, if Ivan survived, how’s Bertha Stewart’s kid?”
She’d always wanted to know the answer to this but never had the nerve to ask. After all, Bertha’s child was Lucian’s only kid, and Kieran had once said that he’d treat the child as his own. So, if the kid hadn’t survived, it would have been a deep blow to Kieran too.
Kieran had been waiting for Julie to ask this question because that kid was like a thorn in her heart. Only if she asked him directly would he tell her the answer without hesitation.
He pulled out his phone, opened his photo album, and found a picture to show Julie.
In the picture, there was a little boy wearing a black hoodie. He was as tall as Ivan, sitting on a floor full of puzzles, staring blankly at Animal Planet on TV. His long eyelashes shadowed a pair of deep black eyes that seemed melancholic beyond his years.
“Phoebe Hernandez.” He said.
“Phoebe.” Julie repeated softly, her fingers gently tracing the child’s picture, seemingly lost in thought.
He knew she was pondering why Bertha named the child Phoebe.
Then it dawned on Julie. “Where is the kid now?”
Bertha had committed suicide by jumping off a building. The cause of her death was still under investigation. Lucian was a dangerous man and was incapable of taking care of a child. If the kid wasn’t with Kieran, where could he be?
“Switzerland.” Kieran said, “Bertha wanted Phoebe to be with Camilla Stewart. Phoebe was sent to Switzerland right after she was born.”
Camilla was Bertha’s sister, or, in other words, Phoebe’s aunt. It made sense for Bertha to decide to let Camilla take care of Phoebe.
Whenever Julie thought of Phoebe, she thought of Lucian.
“You still haven’t found Lucian?” She asked with worry.
While looking at Julie’s frowning face, Kieran gently stroked her cheek but eventually shook his head. All he could say to her was, “I’ll let you know the moment there’s any news about Lucian.”
“Promise you’re not lying to me?”
“I promise.”
