Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 289

Daphne couldn’t get through to Julie on the phone, just as she dialed her number, an icy robotic voice informed her, “Sorry, the number you’re trying to reach is currently busy…”

On the other end, Julie had just dialed Julien’s number.

Julie would never call Julien unless it was absolutely necessary. But she couldn’t help but worry since Hayden had left with her the night before. Luckily, Julien on the other end picked up the call swiftly.

“I’m still alive. That was the first thing Julien said.

Julie, standing at the crossroads, let out a sigh of relief, “I just wanted to ask if I should go collect your ashes…”

Julien, picking up her underwear from the floor, replied coldly, “When it’s time to collect it, I’ll come to you in your dreams.”

Before Julie could respond, the man lying next to Julien woke up.

Thus before she could say anything else, Julien told her, “I’m busy, gotta hang up.”

And then, the call was abruptly ended.

Julie stared at her disconnected call, not knowing how to react.

“Where are you going?” Hayden’s voice was still laced with the laziness of just waking up.

The woman putting on her underwear was surprised to find… the buttons were long gone since last night. And her own clothes… were now adding a wild touch to the messy bedroom. To be precise, those weren’t clothes anymore, those were scraps!

She grabbed his oversized shirt, and before she could put it on, she felt a strong force pressing her down on the soft pillow. Hayden was now on top of her. Clearly, he had calculated how to immobilize her, so she was stuck in this position, unable to move.

Meanwhile, her eyes were covered by the black shirt, unable to see anything.

Then came Hayden’s deep, sexy voice from above, “You still haven’t answered me, where are you going?”

“How about I make a schedule and let Raines read it to you? I’ll detail every mealtime and bathroom break down to the second, what do you think?” Knowing she was no match for him, Julien didn’t even try to resist, she let him pin her down.

The events of last night, Julien wished she could delete them from her mind, clean and neat!
