Chapter 153

Shannon left immediately.

Julie walked up to Kieran and asked, “If we’re living together legally, do I also have to share the bed with you?”

“If that’s what you want, I can oblige,” Kieran replied.

Julie called out to Shannon in the kitchen, “Shannon, could you move the beddings to the guest room later?”

Kieran, with a grin, ruffled Julie’s hair and yelled towards the kitchen, “Shannon, move the beddings to the study.”

Julie watched Kieran walk away, his back looking more mature than she remembered.

After Julie had her bath, Shannon moved all of Julie’s luggage to the master bedroom. Then she grabbed some bedding and headed to the study.

Before leaving, Shannon looked back at Julie and said, “You and Mr. Hernandez being together is a blessing. As the saying goes, small quarrels between couples don’t affect their love. That’s wisdom our ancestors left us. Believe in it.”

Julie knew Shannon meant well, so she just smiled and nodded.

Without saying more, Shannon took the bedding and left for the study.

She placed the bedding on the long leather sofa and looked at Kieran with concern, “Mr. Hernandez, should I make the bed in the guest bedroom for you? You must feel terrible not being able to sleep comfortably.”

Kieran smiled back, “Has Julie gone to bed?”

“Not yet, she just finished showering.”

Kieran sat on the sofa, looking tired, “Shannon, sometimes I wonder if I’m too hard on Julie.”

Shannon looked at Kieran, “Mrs. Abraham will understand your predicament. Your love for her will eventually reach her.”

“Go rest, goodnight,” Kieran said with a smile.

In the end, Julie didn’t sleep in Kieran’s master bedroom but stayed in her old room. Before going to bed, she took the remote that could turn the two rooms into one from Kieran’s room.

In the middle of the night, Julie got up to get some water and noticed the study’s light was still on.

For some reason, she gently pushed open the door to the study and found Kieran lying tiredly on the sofa. The blankets had all fallen onto the floor, making him look somewhat similar to Ivan when he slept in the hospital.

Julie approached cautiously, picked up the blanket and covered him.

She sat cross-legged by the sofa and suddenly felt a surge of energy.
