Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 265

Not far off, on the verdant golf course, a man in a crisp white polo was taking his swings. His tall and lean silhouette made a striking figure as he held the golf club, with a caddy by his side. His pristine white golf shoes stood out against the green.

That familiar height and figure made Kieran, who usually maintained his composure, furrow his brow,

After sinking the putt, the man, Zenith, handed his club to the caddy. His gaze unintentionally swept across the few people standing in the distance. He frowned slightly and turned to Jesse, his assistant, “Seems like you don’t understand the meaning of a private booking.”

Jesse followed Zenith’s gaze to Kieran and Julie. He made a quick, apologetic bow to Zenith before briskly walking toward them.

Zenith’s caddy handed him another club as Jesse moved toward Kieran and Julie. However, before Jesse could reach them, Kieran strode past him, heading straight for Zenith.

Jesse twisted around to chase after Kieran, and Julie quickened her pace to follow them.

The man on the green, it was Lucian Hernandez. The likeness to Kieran was uncanny, from the shape of his eyes to his height. It was Lucian, exactly as Julie remembered him.

Zenith was going to take another swing, but Kieran stopped him.

Zenith lowered his club and looked at Kieran, then at Jesse who was apologizing once again, “I’m sorry, Mr. Moore…”

The aura this man radiated was just too overwhelming. Jesse had to admit, he was completely overpowered.

Zenith waved off Jesse, handing him the club and coldly said, “Leave.”

Jesse quickly scurried away, taking the club and caddy with him.

As she took a closer look, Julie became even more convinced that this man was Lucian. But how was he standing? The last photo Julien had shown her, Lucian was wheelchair-bound.

In disbelief, Julie’s pupils dilated, “Lucian?”

Tears swelled in her eyes.

Kieran and Zenith stood face to face on the green, neither of them uttering a word. They were gazing at each other, the air filled with intensity.

After Julie tentatively called out, Zenith finally broke into a smile. He looked at Julie nonchalantly and said, “Are you referring to me, miss?”

“Is that the opening line you’ve thought of for nearly ten years?” Kieran’s brow furrowed, his gaze icy.
