Chapter 107

Downstairs at the hotel.

Julie and Elliot had been chatting for a while. She thought that Kieran wouldn’t waste his time waiting for her, given his character. But the reality was, as soon as she stepped out of the hotel, the headlights of the luxurious Spyker CB parked at the entrance lit up.

The lights shone on Julie’s face, forcing her to look in that direction. The passenger door was opened from the inside by Kieran. Julie noticed that Karl and Austin weren’t in the car, instead, Kieran was sitting in the drivers seat

“Get in “The lights were turned off, and Kieran’s voice came from inside the car.

While Julie was still in a daze, Kieran spoke again, “At this time, there are no buses to Noblewood Retreat. Get in. You can save about sixteen bucks on cab fare”

Julie was still motionless. She was considering whether to get in the car to save those sixteen dollars when suddenly, music started playing from inside

the car.

1 can see through his heart / And the shadow of others lingering / My memories of him/Have not been wiped clean enough / I can see through his heart

It’s his and her movie/He doesnt love me / Despite that / He still stole my heart…

This was Julie’s ringtone. She had been using this phone for almost six years. She set this ringtone when she moved out of Noblewood Retreat. Over the years, she had gotten used to it. But Julie never knew that this song was so long. Suddenly, the phone flew from the car towards Julie. In a panic, Julie barely managed to catch the phone.

The name Ivan was displayed on the lit-up phone screen

Julie glanced at Kieran before answering the call. A voice full of hurt came from the other end of the phone. “Mama Julie, don’t you want me anymore?”

Ivan was a very insecure child, which was evident from his tone. Although Julie hadn’t known him for long, she already considered him her own son.

So when she heard his voice full of grievance, Julie’s heart immediately softened. I’m on my way home.”

“Are you with Kerry?” Ivan’s excited voice came from the other end.

Julie glanced at the man lighting a cigarette in the car and replied, “Uh-huh
