Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 205

“If you were so pure-minded, why did you ask me to take my clothes off?” She grabbed Kieran’s hand and glared at him questioningly.

Kieran put on an innocent face, “I asked you to get undressed so I can apply some medicine on you. How is that impure?”

“What kind of medicine?”

As soon as Julie finished speaking, she saw Kieran take out a tube of ointment from his desk drawer. “Dr. Ladd said this is a wound repair ointment that can prevent scars. It was just delivered this morning.”

Now, Julie was completely speechless…

“Dear, you’re such a rogue!” He returned her previous comment to her verbatim.

Eventually, to prove her innocence, Julie took off her suit jacket, rolled up her sleeves, and exposed the scabbed wound on her arm. “Well, you should’ve said you were going to apply medicine on me. You suddenly asked me to undress, so it’s normal for me to misunderstand you…”

“Do I look like I have no principles?” The man applying the ointment on her looked up at her.

Julie fell silent. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Kieran casually responded, “Come in.”

Karl walked up to Kieran with his phone. Even when he saw Julie, he didn’t seem embarrassed. He handed the phone directly to Kieran and said, “Mr. Hernandez, it’s Mr. Kyle…”

Mr. Kyle? Julie looked at Karl in shock. The only Mr. Kyle she could think of was Kyle.

Kieran took the phone, pressed the speakerphone button, and then said, “Mr. Kyle?”

“Mr. Hernandez, hello. I heard from your assistant that you were looking for me?” A mature, elegant voice came from the other end of the phone.

This familiar voice reminded Julie of Kyle’s image in her memory, especially when he was wearing a dark blue suit, delicate cufflinks, and speaking fluent foreign language with the Abraham family’s business partners at Sansa’s engagement dinner.

At that time, Kyle was just a foreign affairs lawyer with a monthly salary. Although his salary was high, after all, the Abraham family were wealthy businessmen, and Sansa was their eldest daughter. There was a certain social disparity between them.

But Kyle’s decent performance and elegant conversation made all the relatives believe that the Abraham family had found a good son-in-law. Mrs. Abraham was somewhat vain. Whenever someone praised her son-in-law, Julie could feel her mother’s pride.

Hearing Kyle’s voice on the other end of the phone, Karl quickly explained in a low voice, “I only contacted Mr. Kyle’s assistant. I didn’t expect Mr. Kyle to answer the phone…”

Kieran gestured to Karl to be quiet.

Then Kieran slowly said to Kyle on the other end of the phone, “My wife received an expensive gift from you, so we should express our thanks to you.”

There was a two-second pause at the other end of the phone, and then Kyle said with a slight smile, “If it’s a thank you, shouldn’t it be expressed by your wife herself?”
