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

Chapter 286

“Are you laughing or crying? You’ve been chuckling nonstop.” Julie leaned in closer to Daphne, curious to know who was on the other end of the phone call. But Daphne handed the phone to Julie as if it were a hot potato. Her face, a picture of relief, left Julie puzzled.

Meanwhile, Julien was lying quietly on the carpet, lost in her own world, oblivious to the commotion between Julie and Daphne.

Until Julie suddenly cried out, “Hayden?”

At the sound of his name, Julien sprung up from the floor like a zombie, startling Julie who moved closer to Daphne for comfort.

Even though Julie had no idea what Hayden had said, she handed the phone to Julien, saying timidly, “Julien, it’s for you!”

Upon hearing Hayden’s name, Julien wanted to hang up. But when Julie handed her the phone, she immediately pressed the end call button and irritably tossed it back to Daphne.

Daphne’s admiration for Julien reached it peek point.

“Is it okay to just hang up on Hayden like that?” Julie asked, concerned.

Julien didn’t respond. This was the first time she had the audacity to hang up on Hayden. Usually, she would follow his orders without question.

Julie thought for a moment, then said, “Well, Hayden spoils you, so it should be fine, right?”

“Hayden spoils me? You are talking nonsense!” Julien coldly retorted, sitting up again!

Daphne clutched her chest. She couldn’t handle any more surprises from Julien.

Instead of answering Julien’s question, Julie turned to Daphne and asked, “Don’t you think Hayden treats Julien differently?”.

“It seems like it. Remember Ivan’s birthday party…”,

“What happened then?” Julie asked.

“We were having a barbecue in the garden, remember? Mr. Watson took me out there. Later, I went back to my room to get my phone and saw Mr. Dylan, Annalise Hansen, and Hayden…”

“And then what?” Julie asked, looking at Daphne curiously.
