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

Chapter 219

Dylan shot back, “No shit, Sherlock. Pregnant women can’t drink spirits, but there are no pregnant women here.”

He barely finished speaking when he noticed the change in Daphne’s expression. Dylan was known for his sharp observation skills, he stood up immediately, pointing at Daphne in shock, “Holy crap, you’re pregnant?”

“Cut the crap!” Daphne snapped back at Dylan, her tone as harsh as if she was wrongly accused, “You’re the one who’s pregnant!”

Seeing Daphne’s reaction, Julien felt guilty and turned to Hayden for help, “So this is a secret?”

“Maybe Lionel isn’t the father.” Julien and Hayden were whispering, keeping their voices low. But they didn’t expect a sudden eerie silence in the room after Daphne spoke, making Hayden’s voice stand out.

His words echoed in the room, everyone’s eyes were on Lionel.

At that moment, Lionel was staring at Daphne. To Daphne, Lionel was always polite, gentle to his fans, handsome and charming. He could be a bit of a scoundrel around her, but she had never seen him look at her like this.

It felt like a knife was held at her throat, one wrong word from her could lead to a disaster.

Daphne was determined, come hell or high water, she would not reveal the truth in front of everyone.

Especially when she couldn’t keep the baby!

“Pregnant women can’t drink spirits, but I’m not pregnant.” Daphne’s hand holding the glass was slightly pale due to the force she used. She gathered her courage, ready to down the drink.

“Daphne!” Julie suddenly yelled, startling Daphne.

She knew what Julie was worried about. She also knew the consequences of drinking this spirit. But she knew she couldn’t keep the baby!

So she turned her head and stared at Julie firmly, saying, “Don’t try to stop me, a bets a bet. I have to drink this or I’ll look like a coward.”

Julie knew that once Daphne made up her mind, it was hard to change it. If Daphne really drank this, it would mean she was determined to abandon the baby.

But Julie knew Daphne. If Daphne was really determined to give up the baby, she wouldn’t be wearing a radiation suit while using the computer.

So, Julie grabbed Daphne’s arm, clutching her stomach, “Daphne, my stomach hurts. Can you accompany me to the bathroom?”

Daphne finally understood. What a good excuse, why didn’t she think of it?
