Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 227

The surveillance system had recorded everything crystal clear.

As Shannon had mentioned, it was indeed Hayden who had dropped him and Julie off last night. It seemed that Julie was way more sober than him. They had first entered the master bedroom together after getting home, then he followed Julie into the bedroom again.

He remembered going downstairs wrapped in a towel last night. Watching the surveillance footage, it all came back to him. In the video, he was on the phone while opening the bedroom door, then he went downstairs to grab a bag and went back upstairs.

The night vision footage was a bit blurry, but he could clearly see himself entering the master bedroom. During this time, Julie didn’t leave the secondary bedroom to go to the master bedroom, but he woke up in the secondary bedroom this morning. This meant that the two bedrooms were connected last night. However, when he woke up today, the two rooms were separated again.

There were no cameras in the bedrooms, so he really had no idea what happened in the bedroom last night, but he did clearly remember wearing a bra on his head.

The only person who might know the truth was Julie, but he couldn’t get a hold of her now.

He was worried something had happened to Julie. Just as he was about to start looking for her, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was Julie’s number, he was relieved.

“Are you awake?” Julie’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

He asked directly, “Where are you?”

“I’m at the shop.”

“What shop?”

“The shop you gave me. Don’t you remember?” She countered.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten. He furrowed his brow, then hesitated before saying to Julie on the other end of the phone, “Last night…”

“Are you still hungover?” She suddenly interrupted him.

He rubbed his temples. He hadn’t been this drunk in years. It would be strange if he wasn’t hungover.

Julie said, “You drank too much last night. When we got home, you kept saying you wanted more booze, so you drank half of the red wine that Dylan had sent over, even spilling it on the sheets in the master bedroom. I had someone take the sheets to be washed. I also drank too much. When I woke up, you were still asleep, so! didn’t wake you. I’ll pick Ivan up from school in a bit.”

“Do you remember what I went downstairs to get last night?” He asked. He didn’t find the bag he was seen carrying in the surveillance footage in either of the
