Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 129

Adeline gave Julie the address for the meeting before ending the call.

Elliot turned to Julie and sincerely said, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me. I didn't do anything. I didn't tell you where Adeline and I were meeting."

Julie was right. The phone was on speaker. It was Adeline herself who told Elliot the location, not Julie. So... this doesn't count as betrayal, right?

That's how Julie comforted herself.

After dinner, Julie was about to go to the hospital, but was stopped by a distressed-looking Elliot.

Frowning, Julie looked at Elliot and asked, "What now?"

With a bashful look, Elliot asked Julie, "Can you... come with me?"

"Why?" Julie asked bluntly.

After a moment of silence, Elliot finally said, "Can you consider it as compensation for the first kiss you took from me?"

Julie suppressed the urge to punch him. She walked past Elliot towards the door without a word.

Perhaps Elliot was really anxious, because he immediately followed and said, "Or consider it as compensation for all the times you've rejected me. Would you accompany me this once?"

"Mr. Sanches, I never realized how annoying you can be!" Julie felt like she had just betrayed Adeline, That's why she was not feeling so good right now. And now Elliot was getting on her nerves.

Adeline was a very straightforward girl. Though they hadn't known each other for long, Julie really liked Adeline's personality.

Generally, she wouldn't deliberately avoid someone or something without a good reason.

But judging from Adeline's behavior today, she really wanted to avoid Elliot, and yet Elliot was so eager to find her.

Which one of the twins was the one with the problem?

Julie shot Elliot a glare, but Elliot stood in front of her with a smile, "Actually, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time."

Julie just stared at Elliot, "Move it!"

Elliot continued to block Julie's way, "Answer my question, and I'll let you go."

After a moment's hesitation, Julie said, "Fire away."

"That kiss before I went abroad, it wasn't your first kiss, was it?"

Julie froze at Elliot's question.

Elliot said that people don't forget their first kiss. It was a serious and reasonable statement.

Elliot willingly gave his first kiss to Julie, but Julie never admitted that it was her first kiss.

The question was not important anymore, but Elliot knew, Julie would not answer him, she definitely wouldn’t…

Taking a deep breath, Julie looked at Elliot and said, "Let's go."

She flagged down a taxi and got in.

Elliot followed Julie into the taxi, and told the driver the address of the café Adeline had mentioned.

On the way, Julie remained silent, staring out the window.

The passing scenery outside the window seemed like a backwards movie, replaying past events.

Julie recalled the moment when Kieran saw her kissing Elliot.

Kieran was not a smiley person. When he became serious, his aura was cold and commanding. His aloofness was fatally attractive to Julie back then.

Julie remembered him walking past her with his friends while Elliot's lips were still pressed against hers.

She watched Kieran in a daze, and he just gave her a cold glance, then walked away with his friends.

At that moment, Julie felt a chill down her spine. She immediately pushed Elliot away, wiping her mouth while yelling at him, "You're done for! You're done for! You wait and see!"

Then she chased after Kieran.

Surprisingly, Kieran didn't get on his bike and leave immediately but he walked away.

Without a second thought, Julie grabbed his bike, and hurriedly explained, "Kieran, don't get me wrong. It's not what you think. Elliot..."

"Let go of me." Kieran looked at Julie coldly.

Julie held onto the bike firmly and said, "It was an accident. I didn't mean to, I swear!!"

Kieran responded coldly to Julie's desperate explanation, "It has nothing to do with me."

Julie was used to Kieran's indifference, so she could calmly hold onto Kieran's bike and ask, "What do you mean?"

Kieran let go, staring at Julie expressionlessly.

Feeling wronged, Julie looked at Kieran, "Can't you be angry? Can't you be jealous? I kissed someone else, don't you have any reaction?"
