Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 151

In the bathroom, Daphne stared at the pack of tampons with a look of utter despair. Her face turned red. She felt helpless and ended up banging her head against the wall a couple of times, clutching the pads.

She never thought she'd find herself in such a painfully awkward situation.

With nowhere to vent her frustration, Daphne dialed Julie's number in agony, "Julie, I can't take it anymore, come find me in two hours."

There was a pause on the other end, then Julie replied, "Can it wait until the day after tomorrow? I might not make it back in two hours."

Daphne was at a loss for words.

"Whats up?" Julie asked with concern on the other end of the line.

"I got my period..."

Julie immediately sympathized, "Even though I don't get bad cramps, I also get upset when it comes."

"It's not because of that!" Daphne passionately recounted the events that had just transpired, including Lionel kindly dropping her off at the company's front door.

However, Julie honed in on one key point, "Lionel called you babe , and gently helped you, what does that mean?"

As an adult, this wasn't hard to understand.

Daphne's face turned red, she hadn't paid attention to the meaning of Lionel's words. After Julie's explanation, Daphne was speechless.

Why was Lionel being such a gentleman, and choosing her to be his “babe”?

Julie remarked, "Didn't expect Mr. Lionel to be so sweet! Daphne, you're in for a treat."

Daphne replied, "wait for me, I'll come find you in two hours."

Julie hesitated for a moment before answering, "Then come find me at Noblewood Retreat, I might be staying here for a bit."

Daphne caught on immediately, "So, you're actually moving in with Mr. Hernandez?"

Julie quickly assured Daphne, "It's not what you're thinking."

Though Daphne wasn't particularly clever, she understood that the relationship between Julie and Kieran wasn't something that could be explained in a sentence. So they just joked around a bit and hung up. Daphne continued to support Julie as always and told her that she had her back.

After hanging up, Julie still felt warm from Daphne's words.

Finally, Daphne asked Julie why she was holding a press conference with Kieran, and whether she had forgiven him.

In fact, Julie hadn't expected to hold a press conference with Kieran either.

Not until later when she was facing off with Kieran and received a call from Julien.

At that moment, Kieran held the hand she had gripping his tie and told her, "Let's make it public, announce that we're married."

Hearing this, Julie smirked, but it wasn't out of joy, it was a bitter smile.

She looked at Kieran with a mocking gaze and asked, "Why?"

She bluntly asked, "Why do you get to hide the marriage when you want to, and make it public when you want to? Why do you get to love me when you want to, and have me chase you when you pretend not to like me? You want to reconcile and I have to comply, who am I to you? Even if I am an actress, I don't need to play along with this drama, right?"

"You're so high and mighty, never considering others' feelings. You're smart, emotionally intelligent, because you're capable, because you have your troubles, so it's always my fault. You said we should keep our marriage hidden, and I had to listen to you. You said we should remarry, and I had to go along with it, right? Kieran, tell me, why?"

Julie released Kieran's tie and gave him a big push!

To avoid hurting Julie, Kieran staggered back a couple of steps.

Just as the atmosphere between Julie and Kieran was tense, there was suddenly the calm voice of Julien from the balcony outside the window.

"I'll tell you why."

Hearing Julien's familiar voice, Julie was surprised and turned to look in the direction of the balcony.

This was the second floor, and Julien just suddenly appeared on the balcony... Maybe it was because Julie was used to Julien's unexpected actions, so she wasn't scared by Julien's sudden appearance.

Julien knocked on the balcony door twice, and said to Julie through the glass, "Open the door."

Julie was still stunned and didn't react.

Julien frowned in displeasure, took out two lock picking tools from his pocket, quickly unlocked the door, walked up to Julie, and said, "Because a person's good luck is limited, and your good luck ran out the moment you met him."

Julien looked at Julie and pointed at Kieran.
