Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 256

Basil handed Julie a glass of orange juice, which she took in one gulp.

From outside the door came Julien’s voice, “Amanda, is Joyce here? I need to talk to her.”

Julie really wanted to respond with ‘I’m here’, but with Basil and Bolt on either side of her, she could only stay silent.

Perhaps Kieran was still not completely at ease with Julie and Amanda at home, so he sent Julien to check on things.

Amanda’s voice came from outside, “I sent Joyce out to get me some stuff. She might not be back for a while. What’s up?”

“In that case, I won’t bother you.” Julien nodded to Amanda and exited gracefully.

How direct. That was so Julien.

Bolt looked at Julie and said, “Mrs. Abraham, shall we continue?”

Julie handed the glass to Basil, not seeming to have any other choices.

She had a strong feeling that Amanda was not only trying to train her, but also seemed to have no intention of letting her go out, as if wanting her to focus on training here.

Julie got up with a frown, as her cooperation surprised Bolt and Basil.

Basil turned and went back to the door while Bolt stood in front of Julie, about to speak, when suddenly a figure flashed by the window. Bolt frowned, quickly stepped forward, pulled the curtain of the French window closed, and locked it.

Julie already suspected that the person outside was Julien, so she yelled at Bolt, “Bolt! I can’t do push-ups!”

Julie’s sudden shout startled Bolt.

Even though the glass window was soundproofed, Julie’s high decibel shout still got out. Even Basil at the door heard it. He opened the door and looked at Bolt, “You okay?”

Julie shook her head, laughing, “I was asking Bolt how to do push-ups. I have no arm strength.”

Basil saw a confirming look on Bolt’s face, so he left, closing the door behind him.

And at this moment, the locked French window was easily pushed open from the outside by Julien. Bolt had his back to Julien, and as he turned around, Julien kicked at him.

Bolt bent over, turned around and threw a punch at Julien. Julien grabbed Bolt’s arm, pulled him in, and they passed each other.

“Go Julien!” Julie watched them, sitting on the ground, looking up at Bolt and Julien, not forgetting to declare her standing.

However, the expected fight didn’t happen. They only exchanged a couple of punches before stopping.

“Bolt?”

“Teacher?”

They looked at each other, stopping their attacks.

“You know each other?” Julie clapped her hands, standing up and walking between them.

“This is my teacher.” Bolt pointed to Julien.
