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

Chapter 192

Daphne figured Julie was just talking smack, but she did indeed invite her to stay the night.

Because of Julie’s accident yesterday, Daphne straight up asked her company for annual leave. The interview she did with Lionel sold out as soon as it hit the internet, which got the editor-in-chief pretty stoked. So, they gave her the go-ahead for the leave.

Daphne always worked her butt off. Pretty much every year, she didn’t take her leave and just cashed it in for a bonus. But this time she decided to give herself a break and took a whole week off. So, she agreed to crash at Julie’s place tonight.

After dinner, Kieran holed up in his study, leaving Julie, Daphne, and Ivan watching TV in the living room.

Ivan was seriously studying his ABCs. Daphne looked at Ivan and asked Julie, “He’s just a kid, and he’s already hitting the books this hard?”

Julie shook her head. “We just follow his interests. If he likes it, we support it, and if he doesn’t, we don’t push it.”

Daphne admired, “You’re a genius mom. You handle everything so well.” Ever since Daphne met Ivan, he had grown on her.

Julie got up to use the bathroom.

Ivan suddenly put down his iPad and called out to Daphne, “Godmother Daphne!”

Daphne turned to look at Ivan. His voice was so soft and sweet, it melted her heart.

“What’s up, kiddo?” Daphne moved over and hugged Ivan.

“Do you know who Julien is?” Ivan asked suddenly.

Daphne was surprised, wondering why Ivan would bring up Julien.

Ivan thought Daphne was having trouble remembering who Julien was, so he quickly explained, “You know, the short-haired woman who always wears black. She’s gorgeous and a total badass. Don’t you know her?”

Daphne replied, “Yeah, I know her. But why are you asking about the queen?”

Upon hearing this, Ivan nodded, “Oh, so she’s the queen. The kind of woman who holds a scepter and is super powerful?”

Daphne thought for a moment. Her impression of Julien did indeed match that of a strong woman, a type she admired. There were three kinds of women she admired: powerful women like Julien who seemed capable of ruling the world, beauties like Adeline who could dazzle you with a mere blink of an eye, and women like Julie. Julie didn’t have the aura of a powerful woman, nor the extreme beauty of Adeline, but she had a special charm. She had the ability to make Kieran pamper her unconditionally, which made her seem like she deserved the best of everything in the world.

Compared to them, she was just plain Jane.

She reached over and stroked Ivan’s adorable face, “Julien is the kind of woman who can be a badass even without a scepter. Because if she wanted to, she could create a world of her own. But you may not understand that yet. Just know that Julien is an incredibly attractive and charismatic woman.”
