Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 143

Although Ivan's features were not fully developed yet, the kid looked more and more like Kieran, whether you looked at his eyes or his face.

In the past, Julie had refused to accept the fact that Ivan and Kieran looked alike. On one hand, it was because Kieran had impersonated Mr. Kennedy so well that she had never thought Ivan could be Kieran's son. On the other hand, she was so fond of Ivan that she didn't want to think he was the child of Kieran and Bertha.

But now knowing Ivan was Kieran's son, Julie increasingly felt that this child looked very much like Kieran.

Whether it was the thick eyebrows or those deep, star-like eyes, the father and son looked very alike. Even their face shapes were the same. The only difference was that Ivan's mischievous and clever character was more like Julie when she was a kid.

Kieran squatted down next to Julie, reached out and pinched Ivan's little chin, carefully looking at him from side to side.

Julie slapped Kieran's hand away, "What are you doing? Be careful not to wake him up…"

Kieran withdrew his hand. He remembered the last time Ivan seriously pointed at him and Julie's wedding photo, and then pointed at his face in the album, pouting his little mouth, and earnestly told him, "Look at my mouth, isn't it exactly like Mama Julie? I must be Mama Julie's real child! I'm so cute, I definitely didn't inherit that from you!”

So Kieran imitated his actions, pointing at Ivan's chubby little mouth and said, "Isn't it alike?"

Julie touched her lip, then looked at Ivan's pouted little mouth, and looked at Kieran with some doubt, "Really?"

"Mmm, even the taste is the same," he answered.

Julie was taken aback, deciding to ignore him. She reached out and picked up the clothes Kieran had put on Ivan, threw them at him. Then she stood up, intending to take Ivan to bed.

However, Kieran had already guessed her intention. He threw the jacket back into Julie's arms, then picked up Ivan and headed for the big bed.

Julie hurriedly followed and lifted the quilt on the bed. Kieran bent down and gently put Ivan on the bed.

Watching Julie tucking Ivan in, Kieran reached out and pinched her chin, "Isn't it alike?"

Julie pushed Kieran's hand away and asked casually, "What's alike?"

"Chin."

Julie walked to the table, and while she was cleaning up the plates and utensils, she grumbled, "I carried him for ten months, and he ends up looking just like you!"

"Eight months," Kieran corrected Julie, "You carried him for eight months and three days."

Julie paused in her cleaning, and then continued as if nothing had happened.

Kieran didn't respond to Julie, which puzzled her. She turned around and saw Kieran seriously looking at the sleeping Ivan. Then, he turned his head and said softly to Julie, "He really doesn't look like you."

Julie's face changed. However, he added, "We'll have another one that looks like you."

Kieran had already stood up and was slowly walking towards her, intending to take the utensils from her.

However, Julie directly threw down the utensils into the trash can next to her.

"Do you think just because we had dinner, we can act like nothing happened?" Julie challenged Kieran, firmly telling him, "I will definitely regain custody of Ivan."

"Okay." Kieran didn't insist on approaching her, but sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Julie affectionately.

He surrendered so easily? That was not his style.

Julie crossed her arms and asked him, "Are you really willing to give me the custody of Ivan?"

"Yes." Kieran smiled, "I'll give you the custody of myself, too. You raise Ivan, and then Ivan raises me. Is that okay?"

What a shameless guy!

"It's not okay! You're not my kid, so I have no obligation to raise you." Julie answered him.

Seeing Julie's answer, Kieran smiled and said, "Although I'm not your kid, your future children are all in my body. Is that okay?"

Julie rolled her eyes.

She didn't argue with him anymore. She could never win against him.

Julie started to clean the table. Kieran spoke from behind her, "Someone will come to clean it up tomorrow."

Hearing this, Julie didn't say anything. She sat down on the couch and told Kieran, "Dim the lights when you're going to sleep."

Seeing her attitude, Kieran immediately stood up and walked over to Julie, "You sleep in the bed. I'll sleep on the couch."

Julie glanced at the couch. It was too short for Kieran. He could only sit all night.

"The couch is too short. You sleep with Ivan!" As soon as Julie finished speaking, she and Kieran both looked at Ivan.

Ivan's sleeping position was... just like Julie. He was sprawled out on the bed, his legs almost hanging off the edge.

"You sleep in the bed!" Julie said.

Kieran saw that Julie was not willing to compromise, so he sat down on the couch.

Julie was startled, "If you want to sleep, just sleep!"
