Chapter 110
Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 110
Actually, it seemed a bit intentional for Julie to bring up Kieranâs son at this point
Julie and Kieran had been at each otherâs throats for a long time, but during this time, both had tacitly avoided this topic. Kieran would return to Noblewood Retreat every night, but Julie never saw any trace of Kieranâs son there. It was as if his son had never set foot in Noblewood Retreat.
Of course, Julie didnât know that before she moved in, the entire Noblewood Retreat had been thoroughly cleaned up.
Bringing up Kieranâs son at this moment wasnât exactly a wise move. Kieranâs son was a painful reminder of their past.
But she brought it up anyway.
Kieran was distracted Julie seized the opportunity to snatch his phone from his hands and quickly got up.
Unfortunatelyâ¦
She still didnât know Kieranâs phone password, so even though she had the phone, she couldnât achieve her goal.
âDelete the photo, including the backup!â She commanded sternly
Kieran took back his phone, apparently forgetting the topic of his son. He cast a contemplative gaze at Julie Whats in it for me if I delete it?â
Julie was livid. âItâs my photo! Itâs wrong for you to keep it, and now you want benefits?â
She sat next to him, firmly stating, âMr. Hernandez, self respect is a nice thing to have!â
âYouâre a nice thing to have too
This meant that he thought she was worth having as well. But Julie responded without hesitation, âYouâre not worthy!â
Kierans eyes dimmed. He felt he could write a book titled, âWhat to do with a stubborn ex wife?â
Julie thought Kieranâs expression was a bit too intense. She was afraid heâd lose his temper, so she just stared at him in silence.
When the room fell into silence, he finally spoke with a hint of interest. If you want me to delete all the photos, I can
âSo?â It was clear Kieran was trying to make her ask what his conditions were
The man leaned against the headboard, looking at her invitingly. âCome hereâ
âForget it, if you donât want to delete it, then donât!â Julie felt she couldnât control his actions and thoughts. Rather than stubbornly arguing with him about deleting the photo, it was better to avoid trouble. After all, she was planning to move out tomorrow.
Just as Julie was thinking this, he suddenly gave her the phone. The password is the room number from our first stay at the Starlight Haven Hotelâ
Julieâs hand trembled slightly as she held the phone Room number? That was just too much.
She casually threw the phone back at him, absentmindedly replying, âI dont rememberâ
He shoved the phone back into her hands, kindly reminding her, â7401. Donât forget next time.â
She didnât want to remember that number, but the truth was. Julie remembered it very clearly. This time she didnât pretend, she took the phone and opened the gallery Kieran hadnât lied. The photo of her was really there.
There were only two photos in Kieranâs gallery. One was their marriage certificate, and the other was the photo Julie desperately wanted to delete.
Without hesitation, she deleted the photo she wanted to delete, but her finger paused on the photo of their marriage certificate. She didnât hesitate for too long, and without Kieranâs approval, she quickly swiped her finger and deleted it along with the other photo.
Then she gave the phone back to Kieran. She glanced at Kieran. âYou should delete all the other backups as well! I didnât keep any naked photos of you,
so this isnât fair to me.â
âDo you want me to take off my robe so you can take a picture now?â The man took the phone and unlocked it
Julie completely ignored Kieranâs question, got up, and walked towards the door. âI guess Iâm sharing a bed with Ivan tonight!â
âHold on!â Kierans voice suddenly came from behind Julie.
Despite the years that had passed, Julie couldnât change her nature. She stopped in her tracks
âShouldnt you explain? The other photo on my phone is also gone.â
âOh, I accidentally deleted it.â Julieâs response was nonchalant and natural
Kieran squinted his eyes, looking quite dangerous. He slowly approached Julie, repeating her words, âAccidentally?â
His slightly ding tone made Julie a bit nervous, but she straightened her back, looking him in the eye. âMr. Hernandez, weâve been divorced for almost six years, but you still have our marriage certificate on your phone. If someone sees it, it could cause misunderstandings.â
âSo?â The corner of the manâs mouth curled up, he raised an eyebrow at her.
Julie decided to fight back. âSo, what exactly do you mean by keeping the photo?â
âTo remind myself that I was once a married man. Attorney Abraham, do you have a problem with that?â
The name âAttorney Abraham gave Julie the creeps. Because she had noticed a pattern, Kieran called her âJoyceâ when he was joking wifeâ when he was drunk, but âAttorney Abraham when he was angryâ¦
So.pl Julie could do was firmly say, âI deleted it. What are you going to do about it?â
Julieâs fearless attitude drew Kieranâs interest. He squinted his eyes. âCompensation, I guess.â
âWhat do you mean?â Julie frowned.
He said, âSince itâs gone, letâs take another oneâ
Take another one? That was a marriage certificate! How do you take that? Julie looked at Kieran in confusion.
Kieran dialed Karlâs number on his phone. âSort things out at the city hall tomorrow. She deleted the photo of our marriage certificate. Iâll take her to get a
new one
Before Kieran could finish, Julie snatched his phone, saying to Karl on the other end, Mr. Hernandez had one too many Karl, donât buy his bull. Could you do me a solid and bring my wallet to the office tomorrow? Thanks.â
With that, Julie hung up quickly Then she looked up to see the man opposite her smiling. This smile sent Julieâs heart racing Whenever this man looked at her with that grin, it was always a sign that something bad was about to go down.
She quickly handed the phone back to him, saying somewhat quiltily. Its just a photo. Iâll make it up to you!
With that, Julie pulled up her Instagram, went into her private album that only she could see, and showed Kieran a photo. âHere you go!â
As much as she hated to admit it, this photo had always been in her private album. She had resolved countless times to delete it. She even deleted all the photos she had of Kieran, including the ones she secretly took of him when she was infatuated with him. She deleted all these photos when they
divorced
However, she never managed to delete this photo. In the end, she comforted herself with a lame excuse, she kept the photo as a reminder not to make the same mistake twice. She wanted to remember the past that had brought her utter despair.
When Kieran saw that Julie still had the photo, he was even more shaken than her. He pulled up his Instagram, handed the phone to Julie and said, âHow did you set up this private album? Help me set one up and upload this photo. That way, I wonât hold it against you?
After saying that, he handed the phone back to Julie.
To avoid getting entangled with him over this, Julie did as Kieran asked. She uploaded the photo for him and set to private âDoneâ
Just as Kieran was about to look at the photo, Julie said, Iâll go to the office tomorrow to get my wallet from Karl Ill bring the contract and we can terminate it in person!â
He asked, âYouâre that eager to cut ties with me
âAbsolutely! I cant wait! Julie completely ignored Kieran, whose face had darkened.
He gave Julie a deep look, then turned and walked to his bedroom.
Watching his cold back, Julie felt the room temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. She had a hunch that if she continued to provoke him like this. she would face his retaliation one day.
The man radiating a strong masculine aura had already gotten into bed and pulled up the covers. Julie looked at the man lying in bed without a shred of guilt, her eyes flickering âArenât you going to put up that wall between us?â
Without that wall, what was the difference between this and sleeping in the same room?
The man who had been facing away from Julie suddenly turned around. His deep eyes stared at her more intensely and said, âIf you let me into your bed, Iâll put up the wall, deal?â
Julie swallowed hard and managed to say, âGoodnight.â
With that, she climbed into her own bed, pulling up the covers. Suddenly, the lights in both rooms went out. Julie, startled, Immediately sat up in the darkness, her annoyed voice echoed, âWhat the hell are you doing?â
