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

Chapter 178

“When someone’s not hiding anything at all, their disgust and anger can be expressed through micro-expressions like furrowing their brow, squinting their eyes, lifting their upper lip, and forming nasolabial folds. If jealousy is very restrained, it is almost imperceptible. When anger is more prevalent, it usually manifests as wide-open eyes, unconscious staring, and keeping the rest of the face serious; when disgust is more prevalent, it usually manifests as giving the side-eye, and the rest of the face doesn’t have any significant expression.”

As Dylan started his analysis, everyone’s gaze shifted towards Davina. Indeed, every micro-expression of jealousy that Dylan mentioned was reflected on Davina’s face.

“What does that mean?” Payne asked, “Any woman would be jealous of Julie marrying Kerry. It’s normal for this Davina chick to be jealous too.”

“But in Davina’s eyes, there’s not just jealousy, there’s also hatred!” Dylan pointed at the video and said, “Expressions of hatred are complex. It’s a mix of fear, anger, sadness, and self-blame for being powerless.”

“How’s that?” Payne asked, curiosity piqued.

Hayden got it. The reason Kieran was not in a rush was that he knew who had kidnapped Julie. The only thing he didn’t know was her motive for kidnapping Julie. But since she chose to kidnap her instead of directly hurting her, this Davina chick in the video would definitely contact him soon. He was sitting on the couch, lost in thought, probably waiting for the kidnapper to contact him.

Dylan continued, “The fear is because Davina knows she can’t be compared with Julie. The anger is because she wants to eliminate her competition. The sadness is because she can’t do anything about the harm that’s already been done. See, her lower lip is tightly closed due to muscle contraction, causing her lips to be tightly drawn together. Her upper lip is slightly lifted, added to the downward pull of the corners of her mouth, making the entire line of her lips curve downwards. Tight lips are a sign of self-restraint. If she actually loses control and starts screaming, her emotions wouldn’t just be hatred, but total rage. So, in front of Julie, Davina is always restraining herself!”

This profound explanation was indeed harder for Payne to grasp than his computer.

But after hearing Dylan’s conclusion, Payne frowned, “So, the person who kidnapped her is this woman?”

As Dylan was speaking, Kieran had already grabbed his car keys.

Julien was not one to just sit and wait. She moved to follow Kieran, but Hayden grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Compared to arguing, Julien preferred to take action. Almost as soon as Hayden pulled her back, Julien kicked at him.

Hayden nimbly jumped up, avoiding Julien’s attack. Julien swung a punch at Hayden’s handsome face with her left hand, but Hayden easily dodged it. Then, he grabbed Julien’s swinging arm.

Taking this opportunity, he pulled her into his arms.

Payne, watching from the side, was flabbergasted. Not until he saw Julien in Hayden’s arms did he react, “Could you guys just talk it out?! Why are you suddenly fighting?”
