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

Daphne lifted her head, but before she could see Lionel’s angry face, he already had her pinned against the door, looming over her. They were so close she could almost make out the fine fuzz on his face.

“Is the kid not mine?” he asked in a very gentle tone, his face relaxed.

Daphne gave a nervous laugh. “What if it is?”

“Well, let’s get an abortion then. I’ll pay for the procedure and the recovery. We’re still young and don’t really know each other that well. Having this kid now isn’t a good choice for either of us. If in the future we find that we’re really suited for each other, there will be plenty of chances to have kids, don’t you think?” Lionel straightened up, giving Daphne a deep look, then took a step back, giving her some space.

Daphne was taken aback, then laughed and clapped her hands, nodding at Lionel. “You’re so right, Lionel. We’re still young, and you, a handsome and rich guy, are in your prime. In the future, you’re bound to achieve great things. How could we let something trivial like love and a child affect your judgment and future? Having this kid is not beneficial for either of us! We are indeed in sync!”

Daphne reached out her hand for a handshake to show their agreement.

But Lionel just stared at her coldly. “In sync? Daphne! What’s going on in that head of yours? An abortion? I will pay for the procedure? I will pay for the recovery? Am I hiring a hitman to kill my own child? Am I fucking crazy?”

Daphne quickly shrunk her neck in fear, worried that Lord Lion might hit her if he got angry.

Did Lionel just curse? Sure did, he even used foul language.

She had known Lionel for a long time, but had never heard him use such language before. Daphne huddled by the door, her heart a mess of indescribable pain.

After listening to Lionel’s angry words, Daphne decided to remain silent.

But Lionel wasn’t about to let her off the hook. He reached out, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look at him. “Speak up, you’re usually so chatty. If we hadn’t brought this up tonight, would I be erecting a tombstone for my daughter in a few days? Have you already found a hospital?”

“How did you know it’s a girl?” Daphne blurted out innocently, immediately regretting it. She quickly covered her mouth and gave Lionel an innocent grin.

“I want a daughter, is there a problem with that?” he said defiantly.

Daphne pouted. “My mom says I’m built to have boys. We’re not a good match, Lord Lion.”

“Do you want me to raise you as my daughter?”

Lionel’s interpretation was beyond imagination!

Daphne shook her head. “Having a daughter like me would give you lots of trouble, so you don’t need to worry.”

“Don’t use your limited wit to change the subject. I’m asking you, which hospital are you planning to have the procedure at?”

“Hope Hospital,” Daphne quickly answered.
