Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chatper 290

Chapter 290

Was she jealous? When Hayden realized what Julien had just insinuated, his eyes twinkled with delight.

Only after seeing Hayden’s expression did Julien realize her slip. But to deny it now would only make it worse. She stood up and headed toward the door, not saying a word.

“Where are you going?”

“To get some pills!” she replied coldly,

But Hayden, with his longer strides, got to the door before her and blocked her way. “You were following me?”

“It was a coincidence.”

Indeed, it was. She had seen Hayden with Adeline at the grocery store. Hayden, a man who never set foot in a kitchen, was shopping for groceries with Adeline.

Their good looks and harmonious interaction attracted a lot of attention. They looked like a loving couple who had been together for years, or a newlywed couple still in the honeymoon phase.

Julien happened to witness all of this but didn’t want to watch out of curiosity, so she let it go. But who would’ve thought that such coincidences do happen?

Learning that Hayden and Adeline had planned to go to a restaurant for a date, she didn’t want to return to the villa where Hayden lives, so she checked into a nearby hotel. But it was such a coincidence, as soon as she checked into the hotel, Hayden and Adeline walked in.

And they only booked one room!

She wasn’t trying to pay attention to them, but that night, she admitted she didn’t sleep well.

They stayed the whole night at the hotel, as Julien saw them having breakfast in the hotel restaurant the next morning.

She remembered walking out of the hotel that morning, hungry. Out of sight, out of mind.

So, she wasn’t lying. Running into him and Adeline at the grocery store, and booking a room, were all coincidences.

But Hayden’s face showed a clear disbelief, “Why do you care about Adeline?” It seemed like he was determined to make her tell the truth today.

Julien took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and looked at the man blocking the door. Beating around the bush wasn’t her style, some things should probably be said,

“Ldon’t care about Adeline, I care about you. If you wouldn’t flirt with me, I wouldn’t care who you’re with.”

“What if I am loyal?” He leaned against the door, asking her.

Hearing this, she laughed, “Loyalty means giving up all the women for me. Including giving up Adeline, can you do that?”
