Chapter 98

Kieran pressed Julie’s face into his chest, making her listen to his strong heartbeat

His steady breath flowed from above, and Julie felt her own heart begin to race. Her hands were tightly pinned to her chest, unable to move

Julie opened her mouth and bit down on Kieran’s chest.

She thought he was pretending to sleep, and that’s why she bit him so hard.

“Little wildcat..” Kieran gently stroked her hair, saying, “Go to sleep. I’m a bit tired. If you keep squirming around, I’m afraid something might actually happen.”

“Then go sleep in your own room.” Julie’s tone softened. She knew that fighting fire with fire wouldn’t work on Kieran.

However, she didn’t know that a gentle approach was still ineffective. Even though her tone softened, Kieran had no intention of letting her go.

He hugged Julie tightly. His voice sounded really tired. “Be good, let me hold you”

With that, his actions became gentler. He was holding her as if she were a precious treasure

His voice was already fatally attractive to Julie. Hearing him say this made her heart seem to skip a beat.

“Kieran.”

Julie called out but got no response.

She firmly called out again, “Kieran “

Kieran reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

“Answer a question for me first.” In the dark, Julie finally mustered the courage to look up at Kieran.

“Mmm.” His gentle voice came from above, sounding genuinely tired.

“The person who said you were her brother-in-law in the video call is she a relative of Bertha?” Jule knew that, although Bertha was an orphan, she had always been looking for her relatives.

Therefore, when she heard someone calling Kieran ‘brother-in-law, her first reaction was that the softly spoken woman must have something to do with Bertha In her memory. Bertha was a very gentle person

Kieran knew Julie would ask this question.

Hearing her somewhat nervous and cautious inquiry, Kieran gave her a positive response.
