Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 224

Upon hearing her husband praising another woman’s figure, a normal woman would usually get a bit jealous. But for Julie….

“A great figure, huh? How great? Let me see!” Julie moved next to Kieran, her hand resting on his arm as she curiously peered at his phone.

But the video only showed a man’s satisfied face. Kieran promptly held his phone higher.

Julie couldn’t see the woman with the supposedly fantastic figure. She stood on her tiptoes again, her eyes following the direction of the phone, “Why won’t you let

me see?”

Kieran tossed his phone on the bed and covered Julie’s eyes, “What do you want to see?”

“The woman with the great figure.” Julie reached for the phone, but Kieran pinned her down on the bed.

Rose petals on the bedsheet fluttered with their movement.

Julie felt something damp behind her. She realized she had accidentally spilled red wine on the bedsheet.

“Get up! You made me wet!” She pushed him away, her gaze landing on his profile.

His hand moved to her waist, gently lifting her, then he leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Where’s it wet?”

“My clothes!” She blushed, pushing him away, then flipped over, pointing to the red wine stain. “I accidentally spilled red wine on the bedsheet.”

Finishing her sentence, she saw Kieran’s attention was on her dress hem, so she quickly turned and lunged for the phone.

But Kieran suddenly laid on the phone, so she didn’t grab the phone but grabbed Kieran’s pectorals instead.

Julie wanted to withdraw her hand as if she’d been burned. But before she could, she heard Kieran say, “Do you know why your clothes are wet?”

Julie answered, “Because of the spilled wine.”

He gently caressed her wrist, “Wrong.”

She frowned, “How’s it wrong?”

“Your clothes got wet, not because of the wine, but because they’re not ‘waterproof. The man somehow pulled out those two boxes of condoms again and opened the packaging.
