Love’s Cunning Ruse
Chapter 282
Chapter 282
In the helicopter, Julie nestled into Kieran’s embrace, keeping quiet the whole time.
Instead of probing for details about what had happened, Kieran was more concerned about her physical state. Julie, finally regaining her composure, shook her head, “I’m okay.”
The helicopter whirred back to Whispering Pines, landing on the grounds of Noblewood Retreat.
Julien was the first one to meet them, her concern evident as she asked, “Are you hurt?”
Julie shook her head, wrapping Julien in a tight embrace. Although surprised by this sudden intimacy, Julien did not push her away.
Unsure of what to say, Julien decided to break the good news, “Fred’s daughter has been saved. Hayden has assigned people to protect her round the clock. Fred has agreed to treat Sansa.”
Joy brimmed in Julie’s eyes as she released Julien from her grip, “Really?”
Seemingly revived by the news, Julien nodded, “Mmhm.”
Amanda, the matriarch of the family, had already heard about Julie’s disappearance over the phone and had been worried sick.
Julie, noticing Amanda’s concern, sweetly called out, “Grandma.”
“You should have had Bolt with you. You always manage to stir up trouble when you’re on your own.” Amanda tried to sound nonchalant, but her concern was evident as she rushed out to greet Julie.
“I made you worry.” Julie lowered her gaze, her innocent demeanor making one’s heart ache.
Amanda dismissed her with a wave, “The cavalry wasn’t called for you.”
Amanda’s aloofness was typical, but everyone knew she cared.
“Are you here to greet Joyce?” Kieran asked Amanda.
Amanda waved at Basil, “Where’s the car I asked for? I need some fresh air.”
Basil was left dumbfounded; when had she asked for a car? He followed the matriarch out, leaving the rest in the room.
Payne looked at Julie, “Sis, if you hadn’t shown up, my brother would have turned the world upside down looking for you.”
