Love’s Cunning Ruse
Chatper 310
Chapter 310
After hearing Julie’s account of what happened at the restaurant, Kieran decided to call Hayden. But the call rang and rang with no answer, which was strange. Hayden’s personal line usually didn’t ring more than three times before he picked up. This time, however, it went to voicemail, and Hayden did
not call back.
Startled, Julie whipped out her phone and said, “I’ll give Julien a ring, see what’s up.” She dialed Julien’s number, but after a moment, the call was abruptly- ended.
Julie looked up at Kieran in shock. “Julien… she hung up on me…” This had never happened before; Julien always answered her calls.
Just as Julie was about to try again, Kieran snatched the phone from her hands. Julie looked up, her brow furrowed and her pink lips pouted, “What are you doing?”
“No need to call,” Kieran said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her slender shoulder. “A guy and a girl, both adults, with some complicated history, in a bedroom, not answering their phones. Do you really think it’s a good idea to interrupt?”
Julie turned around, “How do you know they’re together? And more to the point, how do you know they’re in the bedroom?”
“I just called Hayden to ask about something with Simon. He said he was in his bedroom, and I happened to hear Julien’s voice in the background, so…”
“So we should definitely call,” Julie reached for her phone again, but Kieran lifted it over his head, out of her reach. Julie stood on the couch, stretching her arm towards his hand, but he easily scooped her up from the couch, holding her like a child. To prevent herself from falling, Julie instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.
“The Julien you know might answer calls no matter what, but the Hayden I know? He wouldn’t let anyone answer the phone if it interrupts… certain activities. So…”
“Fine, put me down,” she said, patting his shoulder to signal him to let her go.
He seemed to enjoy holding her a little too much, but finally offered a deal, “Give me a kiss, and I’ll let you down.”
Left with no choice, Julie hugged his head and pecked him on the forehead.
In Hayden’s bedroom.
Five minutes earlier, Julien had knocked and entered while Hayden was going for a nap. She stood before him and said, “Got a minute? I need to talk.” Hayden’s motion of pulling the cover slowed down for a few seconds before he looked up and asked, “About what?”
“Relationship issues,” Julien said. Then Hayden’s phone rang. He silenced it without a glance.
