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

Chapter 243

Machu Picchu.

Daphne was so spooked that she hung up the phone without a second thought. After a moment of contemplation, she felt a wave of unease wash over her and decided to switch off her phone, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Although Mr. Lionel was very powerful, he wasn’t at the point where he’s in full control. It was unlikely that he could pinpoint her exact location with ease.

She knew Julie, her best friend, would never betray her. Even though she had heard Julie switch on the speakerphone, her voice was barely audible, so Mr. Lionel

must not have heard.

With that in mind, Daphne felt a bit more at ease.

Just as she was lying in bed, trying to steady her breathing, there was a sudden knock on the door, causing Daphne to bolt upright.

“Who’s there?” She exclaimed.

Then, she heard Edda’s voice from outside the door, “I’m your mom, who else could I be?”

Following her, Alaric’s voice echoed, “I’m your dad!”.

Only then did Daphne slowly open the hotel room door, “I’ve been sleeping alone for years now. Don’t worry about me, go get some sleep yourselves!”

“You naughty kid. You didn’t even tell Lionel that you were taking us on this trip? You even turned off your phone, poor Lionel has been calling non-stop. He had no idea we were going to Machu Picchu? Why can’t you just be a little more considerate?” Edda gave Daphne a slap on the back.

All Daphne wanted to ask was, “Mom, you didn’t tell Lionel where we are now, did you?”

Edda looked genuinely surprised, “What’s wrong? Lionel’s practically family, why can’t I tell him?”

“Dad, why aren’t you controlling your wife? Look at her, calling him Lionel and saying he’s family! I want to know when mom got so close to Mr. Lionel that she even has his number!” Daphne shot her father a look, a mix of innocence and despair.

Alaric looked even more innocent and helpless…
