Chapter 136

The voice on the phone was clearly Kieran’s. No one could be more certain of this than Julie.

Kieran asked Ivan if he’d seen his mother, but the person Ivan had just picked up was Julie herself…

And Ivan had indeed just called her “mom”.

Kieran referred to himself as Ivan’s dad, so…

Kieran was Ivan’s dad…

Then…

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. After a long silence on both ends of the line, Julie finally found her voice, trembling slightly as she said, “This is Julie.”

“Beep…” Kieran hung up the phone…

Holding Ivan’s phone in her hand, Julie’s eyes sparkled with disbelief. So… her intuition was right. There couldn’t be two people in the world who were so similar for no reason. The reason Kieran and Ivan looked alike was because Ivan was the son of Kieran’s older brother, his true nephew.

According to the agreement between Kieran and Bertha, Ivan should indeed call Kieran “dad”.

What about Mr. Kennedy?

The man who said his name was Julian, the man who almost texted her every day, the man who had called her, the man whose ID was “J Kennedy”…

“J Kennedy”?

Julie quickly pulled out her phone and opened her chat with J Kennedy.

The last message was a suggestion she had given him yesterday morning, telling him how to win back his ex-wife…

Yesterday morning, on her way to Oakhurst Hospital, as soon as Julie opened WhatsApp, she saw a message from Mr. Kennedy sent around 3 a.m. the previous night, “Good night.”

Julie had replied somewhat surprised to Mr. Kennedy, “You stayed up late last night.”

She had said this just to express her feelings. She hadn’t expected him to answer her.

But Mr. Kennedy replied immediately, “Because I was on my way to chase my ex-wife.”
