Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 250

The pot lid next to them started to make noises, and Julie immediately nudged Kieran away, turning around to lift the lid and check on the meat stewing inside.

“What’ve you got stewing?” The man edged closer, looping his arms around her waist, and resting his head on her shoulder, planting a little kiss on her earlobe.

Julie felt ticklish and slightly craned her neck, looking at the food in the pot and telling Kieran, “It’s Mexican birria.”

She scooped up a spoonful of sauce, blew on it to cool it down, and brought it to his lips. “Give it a taste. Haven’t cooked in a while, so not sure if there’s enough

salt.”

Blowing on the sauce to cool it down, her puckered lips looked irresistibly cute. Kieran took a sip and slightly furrowed his brow.

Seeing his expression, Julie felt a bit nervous. She frowned slightly and cautiously asked, “Does it taste bad?”

He shook his head. She asked again, “Then what’s wrong? Spill it…”

As she was about to turn around and give it a taste herself, Kieran grabbed her wrist. She turned around in surprise. “What’s up?”

“Honey, do we have any salt left at home?” he asked.

Julie glanced at the saltshaker and nodded. “Yeah, we do. What’s up? Does it taste bland?”

The man glanced in the direction of the saltshaker and had a sudden realization. “Oh So there’s still salt left. I thought you dumped all of it in there!”

Julie looked at him with an embarrassed expression and asked uncertainly, “Is it really that salty? I didn’t put that much salt in…”

“Yeah, it’s salty. Wanna give it a taste?” he asked.

Julie reluctantly turned around and picked up a spoon, ready to taste the food. But the moment she turned around, Kieran pulled her back. He lowered his head to kiss her lips, lightly biting her soft lips. After the passionate interlude, he gently wiped her lips with his fingertip, a tender smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

She playfully punched him and brushed his finger off her lips. But he just asked her with a smile, “Did you taste it? Isn’t it super salty?”

Such a clever excuse to steal a kiss! Julie glared at him and snapped, “It wasn’t salty. It was sweet!”

He was pleasantly surprised by Julie’s sweet reaction. As she turned to serve the food, he embraced her from behind and lifted the pot lid. “So sweet, I wonder if you’ve put candied fruits in it.”

She slapped his hand away and said, “No candied fruits, just arsenic.”
