Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 257

In the master bedroom.

Julie was sitting at the edge of the bed, with her gaze fell on Kieran, who just hung up the phone by the window. She said, “Kieran, don’t you think Amanda overreacted just now?”

“I was going to ask you the same thing. You were with her the whole day, did you notice anything off?” Kieran walked over and sat down next to Julie, asking her.

Julie shook her head, “Actually… I didn’t spend much time with Amanda today.”

“What happened?” Kieran had noticed that Julie looked tired when he got home. He frowned and asked her with concern, “Did Amanda make you do something?”

Julie turned around and put her hands on Kieran’s shoulders, “I promised you that I won’t keep secrets from you.”

“And then?”

“Amanda hired a world-class coach to teach me some self-defense skills,” Julie said. “I spent the whole day at home doing strength training. I didn’t step outside at all. And, Amanda seemed to be strongly against me going out. When I came out of the shower and saw Shannon making soup in the kitchen, I decided to help her take out the trash. But Amanda scolded me harshly for it.”

“So, you spent the whole day at home training?”

Julie realized that Kieran was referring to Julien’s matter, so she explained, “It was me who let Julien tell you about it, according to Amanda’s wishes. I just wanted to tell you about it myself.”

Kieran nodded, “Amanda’s attitude is indeed a bit strong. I’ll try to understand her thoughts tomorrow morning.”

Julie had no choice but to agree.

“Are you tired?” Kieran held Julie in his arms and asked.

She nestled quietly in his arms and said, “Bolt, the guy Amanda brought in, is Julien’s student. He used to be Flavia’s coach, so he should be a person we can trust. Both Julien and Bolt are very strong. Although I only did strength training today, I feel as proud as if I had learned some martial arts secrets.”

“It seems that given time, you will certainly become a martial arts master,” Kieran teased.

Julie lifted her head and looked at Kieran, “What about you? Who did you learn your martial arts from?”

“I learned it from Hayden.” He fell silent for a moment, then asked her, “Do you want to continue learning? If you don’t, I’ll talk to Amanda about it tomorrow morning.”

“Let’s give it a try. Maybe I was born to practice martial arts?”

“I believe you.”

Kieran got up and walked towards the bathroom. Julie also got up and leaned against the door, talking to Kieran in the bathroom, “Darling, let’s make a bet?”

“What’s the bet?” Kieran asked.

She thought for a moment and answered, “Greece, I want to go to Greece. If I can meet Amanda’s requirements, we’ll go to Greece in the future. How about that?”

“Just want to go to Greece? Don’t you have bigger dreams?” Kieran took a basin of hot water.

“Bigger dreams? I can’t think of any. Like what?”
