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

Chapter 142

Daphne didn’t have a rich family. She and her parents weren’t exactly earning much. But Kieran, doing his best, did everything he could to help the Flores family climb up the ladder. Daphne had a thing for lottery tickets, so Kieran would even let her hit the jackpot sometimes.

Kieran knew that whenever Julie was in a pickle, Daphne would be the first to back her. She’d be the one to give her a hand, to be there for her.

Julien was a bit stumped. She looked at Kieran and asked straight-up, “You’ve been bending over backwards for Julie, even using Daphne as a roundabout way to help her. Why don’t you just spill the beans to Daphne? Wouldn’t it be easier for her to protect Julie then? You’ve let Daphne and Julie be pissed at you for years. Doesn’t that get under your skin?”

Julien wasn’t one for chitchat. Kieran was a tough nut to crack, and Julien knew he probably wouldn’t answer.

But when she asked, she saw a deep emotion in Kieran’s eyes.

She’d seen that same kind of deep, burning emotion in her brother-in-law, Kenton Jenkins, when he looked at Flavia. Kenton and Flavia had been through hell and back before they ended up together.

The passion in Kieran’s eyes didn’t seem any less than Kenton’s.

Surprisingly, he answered her. He said, “What Julie needs is a partner in crime. Someone to laugh with her when she’s happy, curse me with her when she’s not. Daphne’s perfect for that.”

As he finished, a small smile tugged at his lips.

As Kieran turned to leave, even the normally aloof Julien couldn’t help but feel moved.

Kieran knew that after the divorce, what Julie really needed wasn’t a financial crutch, but emotional support. And Daphne was the one who could stand by Julie’s side, to fight him together.

Instead of having Julie risk her life because of the love for him, he’d rather have her live each day safely, even if she hated his guts.

It would be easy to let Julie die with loving him. But how much courage did it take for him to let the woman he loved hate him, to bear the misunderstandings of everyone, and to paint himself as a scumbag?

Julien’s brow furrowed. She flicked her short hair, took a small recorder from her ear, and a small smile curled her lips.

When Kieran returned to Julie’s room, she was already asleep.

Daphne held Julie’s hand, carefully keeping her company.

When Kieran walked in, Daphne stood up nervously, “Mr. Hernandez!”

Daphne was a bit uneasy. Julien had told her everything, including how Mr. Hernandez had been helping her and supporting her family behind her back.

Remembering how she had once loudly condemned Mr. Hernandez as a heartless bastard, Daphne felt her face heat up…

In the past, she had done many things she wasn’t proud of, so now she couldn’t even lift her head when she saw Kierany

Seeing Daphne’s embarrassment, Kieran kindly said, “You’ve done enough. I’ll take it from here.”

Daphne nodded nervously, “The medication may include some sedatives. I… Julien and I will go.”
