Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 141

Julien reckoned that Kieran didn't value Julie, because after their divorce, he didn't give her any support in life.

If Kieran really cared about Julie, even if they were divorced, he wouldn't have let the woman he loved suffer, let alone run around for a living.

Julien saw with her own eyes how Julie worked day and night to pay for Sansa's medical expenses. She didn't know that Kieran was Julie's ex-husband, nor did she know about their past.

However, Julien's impression of Julie's ex-husband was always bad, until she met Daphne...

Ivan was born prematurely, otherwise Julie wouldn't have overlapped with Bertha's due date. The reason for Ivan's premature birth was a car accident.

This accident was planned by Lucian, targeting Julie's life. By rights, Julie was the person Kieran loved the most, and Kieran was Lucian's cherished brother. Moreover, Julie was carrying Kieran's baby. Julie and her child were Kieran's family and could bring him happiness. Lucian had no reason to hurt Julie.

But the accident did happen. To be exact, it was Bertha who saved the lives of Julie and Ivan. From the surveillance footage, there was indeed a figure similar to Lucian in the passenger seat of the accident vehicle.

At that time, Julie was crossing the road, preparing to go to the hospital for prenatal check-up. The car was heading straight for her.

At that moment, Bertha suddenly rushed out, seemingly frightening the person in the car, causing the car to slow down and leave brake marks.

When Julie was knocked down, the car had already slowed down. If Bertha hadn't suddenly run in front of Julie, Lucian's car would probably have run over Julie directly.

Bertha immediately took out her phone, dialed Kieran's number, and then she and Julie were taken to the hospital.

Bertha said that since the plane crash, Lucian's personality had changed drastically. He made Bertha feel strange and scared.

Julien remembered that Hayden once told her that Bertha confessed everything to Kieran before she gave birth.

Julien looked at Kieran and said, "If I hadn't burst in just now, were you going to tell Bertha everything she told you before she gave birth?"

"It seems I should find a way to shut Hayden up. He knows too much." Kieran looked at Julien and responded calmly.

With Julien's questioning, Kieran's thoughts gradually drifted back to the moment when Bertha confessed to him.

At that time, Bertha was pregnant, but Dylan firmly said that her child was not conceived through artificial insemination. When Kieran found Bertha and was about to ask her about the child, Bertha suddenly told him, "Your brother is still alive..."

Kieran's expression at that time, he might not remember clearly. He only remembered asking hesitantly, "What do you mean?"

"You've found out, haven't you? The child in my stomach is not conceived artificially, but left by him. He's still alive. He didn't die in that accident."

"Why didn't he come back then?" Kieran asked Bertha in a deep tone.

Bertha was silent for a long time before she answered, "He's changed. Do you remember the day of your birthday when you were drugged and had to marry Joyce?"

Kieran nodded. That was the day he first slept with Mrs. Hernandez. How could he forget?

Bertha sneered, "He thought I've been in love with you all these years, so he drugged you, hoping to get your attention. He said if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been forced to marry Joyce. He thought I and Joyce had hindered your free life, so he hated me, so he wanted to punish me..."

Looking down at her pregnant belly, Bertha's eyes turned red, "He wanted to punish me this way..."

Bertha didn't say that she didn't love Kieran, because the person she loved was always Lucian, the father of the child in her belly.

She loved Lucian, always had. Before the accident, Lucian treated Bertha as Julie's good friend and took care of her carefully.

He was like a ray of sunshine that quietly lit up her heart a long time ago.

Bertha was an orphan. Her only sister disappeared when she was ten. Over the years, she had been looking for her sister, but to no avail. In her heart, she treated Julie as her own sister. If it wasn't for her sudden pregnancy...

Thinking of this, Bertha's face showed sadness.
