Chapter 99
Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 99
As Julie was deep in thought, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Julie and Kieran turned their heads simultaneously to see a hall asleep Ivan, eyes half-open, walking towards the bed.
Kieran quickly rolled off Julie, then covered her head completely with the blanket. Only then did he say to Ivan, âYouâve got the wrong room, buddyâ
Ivan squinted his eyes slightly. âDad, whereâs Mama Julie?â
âDad?â Julie, who had been quietly hiding under the blanket, suddenly threw it off and sat up, screaming
Ivan, still half-asleep, was scared and sat down on his butt
Kieran frowned and coughed at Ivan, Ivan glanced at Kieran, then turned his gaze to Julie, finally widening his eyes. âOh my God! You guys are sleeping
without me!â
Julie was speechless
By now, Ivan had fully woken up. He got up from the carpet, patted his butt, and looked unhappily at Julie and Kieran, âCupid says that only people who like each other can sleep together. Cupidâs parents sleep together, so Mama Julie, do you like Kerry?â
His gaze made Julie feel cornered. She simply changed the subject, âKerry? Didnât you just call him Dad?â
Berthaâs child should be about the same age as this child. Suddenly, Julie thought what if Ivan was Kieran and Berthaâs child?
Kieran noticed the shocked look in Julieâs eyes. He turned his head to look at Ivan, frowning.
Ivan suddenly remembered his previous warning What if Mama Julie dislikes him because of this?
Nervous, Ivan suddenly burst into tears, âWah⦠I didnât call him Dad! Mama Julie, you heard wrong. My dad gave me to Kerry for my mom. Mama Julie doesnt love me either Wah. I donât have a mom anymore Wah.
Kieran glared at Ivan. This kid was quite the actor.
Julie was initially deep in thought, but as soon as she heard Ivan crying, she immediately softened, and her eyes became much gentler.
Kieran got out of bed, brought İvan to the side of the bed, and then placed him in the middle of the bed, covering him with the blanket, âYour dad made that sacrifice for your mom. When your dad and mom make up, you guys can be together again. By then, not only will your dad love you, but your mom will love you too!â
Ivan knew that Kerry was saying this on purpose, but he still widened his eyes, looking at Julie next to him, and asked, âWhat about Mama Julie? Will Mama Julie love me too?â
Julie compassionately wiped Ivanâs tears, but it seemed like his tears just wouldnât stop flowing.
She quickly nodded, âOf course willâ
Kieran grabbed a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to Ivan. âFrom now on, youâre a kid with a mom too. If you donât behave, your mom will spank you!â
âReally?â Ivan innocently stretched out his little hands with his mouth wide open, portraying a scared expression.
Julie gave Kieran a look, âHow could you educate a child like this? How could his mom possibly hit him?â
Ivanâs mouth was wide open, and Kieran touched Ivans two little fangs. âYouâve got two little fangs, so your mom definitely wonât dare to hit youâ
Was it even possible to mislead a child like this? Julie didnât know whether to laugh or cry
Mr. Kennedy actually trusted Kieran to take care of his child. He wasnt afraid that Kieran would spoil Ivan.
Kieran ruffled Ivanâs hair, âBe good, go wash your face and brush your teeth. Noah will take you to school laterâ
âWhat about Mama Julie? Ivanâs mood changed quickly. He had just been crying, but now he was looking at Julie with reluctance.
Kieran said. âMama Julie has to go to court todayâ
âOh, then Kerry has to take her to court! You have to protect Mama Julie Ivanâs serious look made Julie feel a warmth in her heart.
But when she looked back at Kieran, she felt that Ivan had trusted the wrong person
âGot it.âKieran put Ivan down on the carpet
Ivan, fearing that Julie would have doubts again, began walking towards the door, saying. Tim going to call my dad and ask when heâll introduce me to my
momâ
In fact, heâsad this for Kieranâs benefit.
Julie still felt that the whole thing was too much of a coincidence Julle had never seen photos of Kieran as a child, because Kieranâs mother had burned all the photos of Kieran and Lucian as children and family photos before she committed suicide. Julie didnât know what Kieran looked like as a child. But ever since she saw Kieran and Ivan sitting together on the sofa last time, she felt that the two of them had an resemblance
So, when Ivan said this. Julieâs first reaction was to go along with Ivan to confirm Mr. Kennedyâs identity
So; Julie threw off the blanket and said to Ivan, âThatâs perfect. Ivan, call your dad. I have something to say to him too.â
Ivan hurriedly looked to his dad for help.
Kieran winked at Ivan, Your dad just got back from abroad, he must be jet-lagged. Donât disturb him this earlyâ
âRightâ Ivan hurriedly nodded, then grabbed Julieâs hand and said, âMama Julie, my dad works really hard, and heâs also helping me pura my not disturb him this earlyâ
Julie thought what he said made sense, soâ¦.
âThen give me your dadâs phone number. Iâll call him myself later.â
This was totally not cool! Ivan looked innocently at Julie. Whose phone number should he give to Mama Julie? If he really gave her Kerryâs number, wouldnât that blow their cover?
After seeing Ivanâs pleading eyes, Kieran knew that if they didnât make this call today, their identities would definitely be exposed.
Ivanâs eyes became even more innocent. He naively turned back to look at Kieran, who was pulling out his phone, and asked, âSo⦠Kerry, should I make the call or not?â
*Since Mama Julie is insisting so much, you might as well call your dad and ask.â After saying this, Kieran handed the phone to Ivan, âThe callâs already dialed.â
Ivan let out a goofy laugh and then took over. It was a phone number that didnât have a saved contact name.
Julie was kind of looking forward to it. The moment the call connected, she desperately hoped that Kieran and Ivan hadnât lied to her.
After a few rings, the call was answered.
Ivan didnât give the person on the other end any chance to react and excitedly yelled, âDad, Dad, itâs me, Ivan! Iâm your son! Did you miss me? I miss you! Have you successfully wooed Mom yet? Dad, you have to keep going! Keep going!â
Hayden, on the other end of the phone, looked at the caller ID. He had just received a text from Kerry. âDo me a favor, donât ask why, just play along.â
He was about to reply to ask for details when Kerryâs call came in. He initially thought Kerry was calling to explain, but as soon as he answered, he got this lovely surprise.
This was probably what Kerry was talking about.
Hayden recognized Ivanâs voice. He didnât know why Ivan suddenly called him Dad, but he calmly responded, âOh.â
Ivan found the voice a bit familiar too.
âDad?â Ivan asked with some nervousness. He gripped the phone tightly, afraid that Julie would hear the voice coming from the other end.
Hayden answered, âAnything elseâ
Julie looked at Ivanâs tightly held phone and extended her hand with a smile, âCan I have a few words with your dad?â
Ivan was a bit anxious inside. Despite hearing the familiar voice of Hayden on the other end, he still looked at Kieran uneasily.
Kieran nodded at him.
Only then did Ivan say into the phone, âDad, Mama Julie wants to talk to you!â
To prevent Hayden from not knowing who his Mama Julie was, he added, âYou know, itâs Julle.â
Julie was somewhat surprised. This was the first time Ivan had called her by âJulieâ.
Wait⦠so Ivan knew her name all along but purposely called her Mama Julie?
Julie instantly turned to look at Ivan while he guiltily passed the phone to her.
Julle reached out to take it, but ivan was reluctant to let go. In the end, Julie simply grabbed the phone and turned to walk outside the door, obviously trying to get away from Kieran and Ivan.
