Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 109

"Is it vanilla flavored?" Kieran turned to look at Julie. "Let me have another taste."

He just wanted to eat her cake, didn't he? Julie scooped a spoonful and quickly popped it into her mouth. Then she remembered that Kieran hadn't had dinner either. The cake was bought with Kieran's money. With this thought, Julie scooped another spoonful and offered it to Kieran.

He enjoyed the bite. After savoring it, he seemed to have an idea and told her, "It's honey flavored."

"Is your taste off?" Julie seriously took a spoonful and tasted it again.

Suddenly, Kieran swerved the car and pulled over. Julie was still looking at Kieran. "It's really vanilla..."

Before she could finish, Kieran suddenly leaned in. Only when his cold lips touched her soft red ones did Julie react. She held the cake in her hand, stunned. He gently licked her lips and then let go of her chin.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Kieran gently wiped the corner of her lips with the other, smiling at Julie. "It's honey flavored, no doubt."

Only then did Julie realize that he was talking about the flavor of her lipstick... She felt her cheeks heat up rapidly. Kieran, next to her, had already started the car again.

Julie put the cake on her lap and rolled down the window.

After the cool wind from outside blew in, she finally calmed down. When the blush on her face gradually faded, she seriously looked at him. "Last time. This is the last time I forgive you for kissing me unexpectedly. I'll go house hunting tomorrow. You and Mr. Kennedy were college classmates. Please tell him..."

"No."

Julie's words were abruptly cut off by his rejection. After two seconds of silence, Julie pulled out her phone, opened WhatsApp, found Mr. Kennedy's account, and sent a message.

However, Kieran's phone in his pocket rang. It was the notification sound he set up for Julie.

Julie was all focused on her phone and didn't notice that Kieran's phone was also ringing. As Julie was sending a message, suddenly, music came from the side.

'Let me pluck your heart out! Try to melt it slowly!! See if I'm still flawless in your heart! Whether you still care about me, still love me hopelessly...'

These were the lyrics of Midnight Woods. The rock music was blasting in the car.

Julie was startled and dropped the cake on her evening gown. In fact, when the music started, Kieran was also startled. All the music downloaded in this car was classical music and symphonies. This song, Midnight Woods, was downloaded by Dylan a few days ago.

That day, Dylan invited him for dinner, so they went out in this Spyker C8. At that time, Dylan said with a smug face, "Kerry, I recently found a song that suits you perfectly."

Kieran started the car and just gave Dylan a cold glance.

Dylan asked excitedly, "Aren't you curious about what song it is? The lyrics perfectly match your inner state, so it's perfect for you to sing to Attorney Abraham. Want to hear it?"

So, Dylan downloaded the song into the car’s music library. Kieran only listened to a line and then turned it off. He completely forgot about this.

When the song suddenly played in the car, not only was Julie dumbfounded, but Kieran was also startled. Julie didn't know how expensive her gown was. She angrily turned to Kieran and yelled, "Are you crazy! Now my dress is all dirty, and I'm not paying for it!"

"Did I ask you to pay?" Kieran had already calmed down.

Julie thought it was good, as long as he didn't ask her to pay. But as soon as she let out a sigh of relief, she heard him say, "Sleeping with me is fine. Paying me is too boring."

Julie was so angry that her face turned red. "Kieran, how come I never noticed before that you're such a shameless person?"

"Because the shameless person used to be you. I didn't have a chance to show it."

Julie was speechless because what Kieran said was true. She was the one who was desperate to pursue him.

Back then, Julie was thinking about how to strip him naked every day at home. As long as she had the slightest chance, she would pounce on him, and Kieran didn't even have time to dodge! Actually, Julie was the first one to be shameless...

Julie simply closed her mouth. She glanced at her phone and found that Mr. Kennedy hadn't replied yet. She simply put her phone away and kept quiet all the way.
