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

Chapter 234

Julie nodded, “You got a point there.”

“Of course I do! This is my baby we’re talking about. If he took my baby away…”

“I’m not saying you’re right about that.” Julie cut off Daphne, pulled up a chair next to her, took her hand and began to analyze, “Think about it, if Mr. Lionel is really the womanizer as you think, why didn’t he just let you get an abortion? Why didn’t he let you drink that night? Why did he take you away? Why did he even go through the whole fake wedding thing, and even put his work on hold for you?”

“Yeah, why indeed? He could have just dragged me to the operating table and have the baby removed, couldn’t he?” Daphne covered her belly as she spoke, growing

more anxious.

“That’s not what I meant,” Julie said. “What I mean is, now that Mr. Lionel doesn’t want to marry you, but wants you to have the baby, even willing to put his career on hold, what do you think his motive is?”

“He doesn’t want me, but he wants my baby!” Daphne suddenly had a realization.

Julie also thought that was the only possibility.

She looked at Daphne, speaking earnestly, “This is just my personal opinion. It’s possible that Mr. Lionel doesn’t think this way. Men and women think differently, and I’m biased towards you, so I might just be painting Mr. Lionel in a bad light.”

“So, why would Lord Lion agree to accompany me through childbirth if not for this reason? Isn’t he just afraid I’ll run away with the baby, or kill the baby in a fit of rage? I bet that’s what he’s thinking.” Daphne quickly covered her belly, “Men are so cunning!”

“Julien might have a clearer, more objective perspective. Maybe I should ask her?” Julie took out her phone and made a video call to Julien.

Daphne didn’t expect Julien to pick up, but she did immediately.

“What is it?” She asked coldly. In the video, instead of her face, there was a ceiling with vintage murals, like the inside of a European castle.

Julie explained their predicament and then asked Julien, “Do you think…

“Julien, do you think Lord Lion wants to take my baby away from me?” Before Julie could finish her question, Daphne excitedly asked Julien on the other end.

There was silence for a moment, then the phone was suddenly picked up. They heard Julien’s voice, “Let me find a jerk to answer your question.”

With that, Julien tossed the phone to Mr. Watson.

-“Hello?” Daphne started tentatively.

“You’re calling me a jerk? I’m the only good man in the world!!
