Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 257

In the master bedroom.

Julie was sitting at the edge of the bed, with her gaze fell on Kieran, who just hung up the phone by the window. She said, “Kieran, don’t you think Amanda overreacted just now?”

“I was going to ask you the same thing. You were with her the whole day, did you notice anything off?” Kieran walked over and sat down next to Julie, asking her.

Julie shook her head, “Actually… I didn’t spend much time with Amanda today.”

“What happened?” Kieran had noticed that Julie looked tired when he got home. He frowned and asked her with concern, “Did Amanda make you do something?”

Julie turned around and put her hands on Kieran’s shoulders, “I promised you that I won’t keep secrets from you.”

“And then?”

“Amanda hired a world-class coach to teach me some self-defense skills,” Julie said. “I spent the whole day at home doing strength training. I didn’t step outside at all. And, Amanda seemed to be strongly against me going out. When I came out of the shower and saw Shannon making soup in the kitchen, I decided to help her take out the trash. But Amanda scolded me harshly for it.”

“So, you spent the whole day at home training?”

Julie realized that Kieran was referring to Julien’s matter, so she explained, “It was me who let Julien tell you about it, according to Amanda’s wishes. I just wanted to tell you about it myself.”

Kieran nodded, “Amanda’s attitude is indeed a bit strong. I’ll try to understand her thoughts tomorrow morning.”

Julie had no choice but to agree.

“Are you tired?” Kieran held Julie in his arms and asked.

She nestled quietly in his arms and said, “Bolt, the guy Amanda brought in, is Julien’s student. He used to be Flavia’s coach, so he should be a person we can trust. Both Julien and Bolt are very strong. Although I only did strength training today, I feel as proud as if I had learned some martial arts secrets.”

“It seems that given time, you will certainly become a martial arts master,” Kieran teased.

Julie lifted her head and looked at Kieran, “What about you? Who did you learn your martial arts from?”

“I learned it from Hayden.” He fell silent for a moment, then asked her, “Do you want to continue learning? If you don’t, I’ll talk to Amanda about it tomorrow morning.”

“Let’s give it a try. Maybe I was born to practice martial arts?”

“I believe you.”

Kieran got up and walked towards the bathroom. Julie also got up and leaned against the door, talking to Kieran in the bathroom, “Darling, let’s make a bet?”

“What’s the bet?” Kieran asked.

She thought for a moment and answered, “Greece, I want to go to Greece. If I can meet Amanda’s requirements, we’ll go to Greece in the future. How about that?”

“Just want to go to Greece? Don’t you have bigger dreams?” Kieran took a basin of hot water.

“Bigger dreams? I can’t think of any. Like what?”

“A wedding, haven’t you thought about it?”

A wedding? Julie thought for a while, then looked at Kieran with surprise, “Haven’t we held a wedding yet? Why do I feel like I’ve known you for a long time?”

“Perhaps we knew each other in a previous life, and maybe our wedding was held in a previous life.” He placed the basin of water next to the sofa.

Julie laughed and said, “Are we still going to have a wedding? What kind of wedding do you prefer? Have you thought about what kind of wedding dress!

will wear?”

Talking about the wedding, Julie was very excited.

Kieran led her to sit down on the sofa, gently pulled her out of her slippers, and helped her roll up her pant legs.

“Are you going to wash my feet?” Julie looked down at Kieran taking off her shoes, feeling warm.

Julie slightly shrank her feet, “I can do it myself…”

Kieran gently placed Julie’s delicate feet into the water. The water temperature was just right, very comfortable.

The perfect water temperature surprised Julie.

Kieran’s hand lightly grabbed Julie’s calf, skillfully massaging it for her, and said, “The first few days of training, your arms and legs will definitely be sore. If you can’t bear it, just tell me, okay?”

“OK.” Looking at Kieran’s focused movements, Julie couldn’t help but smile.

“Just now I said if you succeed, I’ll take you to Greece. But what if you fail?” Kieran brought the topic back.

Julie shook her head, “I haven’t thought about it, do you have any suggestions?”

If you fail

“Yeah?”

“Then we’ll have a daughter.” He said, as if the idea had been in his mind for a long time, just waiting for a suitable reason to say it.

Julie helplessly lifted Kieran’s chin, “Kieran, can you tell me, why do you like daughters so much?”

“Your genes are good, so it would be a waste not to use them.”

This sentence touched Julie’s heart.

“Mr. Hernandez, you moved me, really!” She said to him, “I promise you, if I can’t meet Amanda’s requirements, I’ll tell her that we will definitely try to give her a great-grandchild.”

“A great-granddaughter.”

It seemed that Mr. Hernandez was very persistent about having a daughter.

After massaging Julie’s legs, Kieran bent over to take the basin away, then returned to Julie’s side, patted the bed, and said, “Lay down.”

“For what?”

“I give good massages.” Kieran said.

So Kieran was going to give her a massage. Julie believed Mr. Hernandez’s words, after all, he did an excellent job massaging her legs just now.

Julie happily lay down.

But as soon as she lay down on the bed, she felt her legs were a little cold..

She turned her head in surprise, and saw him calmly say, “Or you can undress yourself?”

“Do I need to undress?”

“I can’t massage accurately with clothes on, I can’t find the key muscles.” He explained.

Julie rolled her eyes, “Where on earth did you find those masseuses?”

“Do you think I’m a bonafide therapist?” He opened his captivating eyes and lifted her nightgown.

Julie protested innocently, “That’s harassment, dude!”

Kieran held Julie’s head with one hand and effortlessly unclasped her bra with the other. He mumbled to himself, “Why is undoing this so easy, but putting it on so tricky?”

Julie, who had been feigning anger, couldn’t hold back a chuckle.

Then she heard Kieran whispering, “I get it, it’s like certain body parts, easy to rise, hard to fall. Right, Mrs. Hernandez?”

Julie was speechless.

Julie turned around to see Kieran looking at her seriously, his face full of confusion.

At that moment, Julie was utterly defeated by the adorable Mr. Hernandez.

She grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself up. Kieran leaned over, resting his hands on her, gently fixing her hair.

Julie held onto Kieran’s waist, flipped him over, and said, “Today, Bolt taught me how to do push-ups.”

“Do you want to show me?” Kieran quietly asked, lying beneath her.

Julie nodded, getting into a correct position, “But my waist is weak, it always gives in. And my arms aren’t strong enough either, so I worked all day, but didn’t manage a single push-up.”

“And?”

“Can you support my waist and see if I can do it?” she pleaded.

Seeing Kieran’s silence, Julie held his hands and placed them on her soft waist, “Support me.”

She started the push-up, and when Kieran cooperatively supported her waist, she straightened her arms and began to bend them.

With Kieran’s support, Julie managed to shift some of her weight onto his arms and finally completed a push-up.

Julie was instantly excited, grinning at Kieran, “My waist is too soft.”

“A woman with a soft waist is pretty nice, Kieran stated seriously, supporting her waist.

Julie understood his implication and glared at him, “I think the main reason I can’t do push-ups is because my wrists are weak.”

As Julie got ready to do another push-up, Kieran suddenly let go and Julie collapsed onto him.

She quickly scrambled up, sitting on his legs, asking him, “Why did you let go?”

“I thought you were done.” Kieran looked innocent, “Let’s try again, I’ll hold on this time.”

Kieran gently pulled Julie’s wrist towards him.

Under his guidance, Julie was back on top of him.

She supported herself on her arms and placed Kieran’s arms on her waist, “This time, hold on tight.”

“Sure thing, Kieran agreed.

As Julie got ready and Kieran held onto her waist, just as she bent her arms, Kieran suddenly pressed her hands towards him, and Julie collapsed onto him again.

“Hey… Mmm…”

Before she could resist, Kieran’s lips were on hers.

Kieran held her waist and deepened the kiss….

Julie’s hand, which was next to Kieran’s head, was buried in his thick hair. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

When it came to shamelessness, Julie admitted she was the second with only Mr. Hernandez daring to claim the top spot.
