Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )

Chapter 255

Chapter 255

“Mr. Hernandez, Amanda is on her way home.” Noah was on the phone with a hushed tone.

Kieran held the phone tightly, his brow furrowed. “Where is she?”

“I reckon she’ll be at the airport in about twenty minutes.” Noah glanced at the time and asked, “Should I pick her up, or would you rather…”

“No need, I’ll go.” Kieran said, ending the call and grabbing his car keys.

“What’s up?” Julie asked, following Kieran.

“Amanda’s coming home.” Kieran replied.

Amanda…

Years ago, thanks to a scheme by Sansa, Kieran was drugged. The next morning, Julie and Kieran woke up together in a hotel. They were discovered by everyone, including Amanda.

Amanda only had one son, Morton Hernandez, who was also the father of Kieran and Lucian. The relationship between Amanda and Morton was reportedly rocky, largely because Morton wanted to marry Georgiana, which Amanda strongly disapproved of.

Their relationship further deteriorated when Morton insisted on marrying Georgiana, almost leading to a total estrangement.

As everyone knew, the Hernandez family went bankrupt because of Georgiana, who had a psychotic break, killed Morton, and would have killed Kieran too if Lucian hadn’t returned home just in time.

Amanda always had a grudge against Georgiana, but Kieran and Lucian were still Morton’s blood. So, after her only son’s death, she had complicated feelings towards Kieran and Lucian.

Actually, Julie’s marriage into the Hernandez family was largely due to Sansa’s advance planning. Sansa threatened Amanda that if she didn’t let Kieran marry Julie, she would ruin Kieran’s reputation.

Eventually, Amanda agreed to let Julie marry Kieran. On the night of Julie and Kieran’s wedding registration, Amanda flew to Canada. Later, news came that Amanda’s husband had passed away in Canada, and since then, Amanda had been living there.

So, to be precise, Julie and Amanda had only met a handful of times.

The first time Julie met Amanda was at Morton and Georgiana’s funeral. The second time was when she was found with Kieran. The third time was at the funeral of Amanda’s husband. The last time was at Lucian’s funeral after his plane crash.

So, they had met four times, three of which were at funerals.

Though Julie didn’t know much about Amanda, she was very clear about one thing… Amanda didn’t like her.

Kieran didn’t seem to plan on having Julie accompany him to the airport, but he also didn’t feel comfortable leaving her alone at home.

Just as he was about to turn around and ask Julien for help, Julie grabbed his hand and said, “Let’s go together!”

“To the airport?” Kieran asked.

Julie nodded. “Isn’t getting along with the elders a basic requirement to become Mrs. Hernandez?”

“The elders of our family… might not be easy to get along with.” He said gently, stroking the soft skin of her palm.

She shrugged, smiling. “I’ll try not to fight with Amanda.”

Twenty minutes later, Whispering Pines International Airport.

Julie and Kieran stood in the VIP passage, tightly holding each other’s hands.

A few minutes later, Basil emerged from the VIP passage, bowing respectfully towards Kieran and Julie. “Greetings, Mr. Hernandez, Mrs. Abraham.”

Following Basil was Amanda.

Despite being in her seventies, Amanda looked very well preserved. Her hair was white, but she didn’t dye it. Time didn’t bring her vicissitudes, but elegance. Dressed in a black dress with a white shawl, she carried a deep blue handbag, and white pearl earrings simply decorated her.

Seeing Kieran and Julie holding hands outside, she handed her bag over. Kieran reached out to take it, but Amanda handed it to Julie.

Julie smiled and accepted.

“Miss me already?” Kieran moved forward to give Amanda a hug.

Julie smiled at Amanda and said, “Grandma.”

“Call me Amanda.” Amanda responded coldly.

Just as Julie was feeling awkward, Kieran put his arm around Julie and said to Amanda with a smile, “Amanda, our car is waiting outside. Let’s go home and catch up?”

Using a slightly teasing tone, Kieran cleverly conveyed his stance towards Julie by calling Amanda by her first name.

“You’re just like Morton!” Amanda responded coldly.
