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

Chapter 214

“Mrs. Hernandez? Daphne’s not home?” Lionel, dressed in a beige coat and peering down at Julie, politely removed his sunglasses to ask.

Julie called out to Daphne on the sofa, “Daphne, someone’s here for you.”

With that, she hurried over to Daphne, lightly nudging her and encouraging her with her eyes, “Don’t chicken out!”

“What?” Daphne turned around to find Lionel heading towards her.

She immediately stood up, “Lord Lion? What brings you here?”

“Your mom just called me, said you’re not answering your phone or replying to texts. She’s worried something happened to you. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I’d swing by to check if you’re still breathing.”

Man, does he have a sharp tongue!

Daphne smiled, “Thanks for your concern, I’m fine. Can I walk you out?”

Julie thought to herself: Didn’t you say you wouldn’t back down?

“Daphne, he just got here and you’re sending him away? Go get your stuff. Kieran will be here soon.” Julie directed Daphne with her eyes.

Lionel took the initiative to ask, “Are you heading out?”

“It’s my son’s birthday today, so we’re going to his party. By the way, Mr. Lionel, are you free? How about coming with us?” Julie invited him.

Daphne quickly interjected, “Lord Lion is busy shooting all day! He probably doesn’t have time…”

“Actually, I’m off today. I’d be honored to attend Ivan’s birthday.” And just like that, Lionel accepted the invitation.

As soon as Kieran pulled up, he saw Julie, Daphne, and sunglasses-clad Lionel standing at the door.

“Daphne, why don’t you take Mr. Lionel’s car?” Julie suggested, opening Kieran’s passenger door and turning to Lionel, “Please take good care of Daphne, okay?”

“Mrs. Hernandez, rest assured, I’ll take good care of her.”

“Julie! Mr. Lionel is our guest! We can’t make him do things…” Before Daphne could finish, Julie had already had Kieran drive off.

“Did Daphne and Lionel sleep together?” Kieran asked Julie while driving.

Julie nodded, then looked worriedly at Kieran, “I think Daphne and Mr. Lionel need to have a serious talk, but… was it wrong of me to just throw her at him like that?

Should we turn back?”

Kieran slowed down, asking, “Why do you think it was wrong? Shouldn’t they have a serious talk?”
