Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 231

Julie suddenly realized she didn't know a thing about Kyle, the guy who was nearly her brother-in-law, and she didn't really know Sansa either.

Looking back, she noticed that Sansa always had her back whenever she was in a jam, but she never really had a heart-to-heart about Kyle with her.

Even when the whole Abraham Group was going belly up, Sansa still managed to set Julie up with Kieran. Although she was using Kieran, she was always looking out for her sister.

These thoughts sent Julie into deep contemplation.

Kieran knew what was going on in Julie's head. He put his arm around her, pulling her close, "We've still got a ways to go before we reach Noblewood Retreat. You can take a nap. I'll wake you when we get home."

Julie leaned on Kieran's shoulder, closed her eyes and began to speak slowly, "The news said that the president of S&J International Law Firm went abroad this time to set up a new office here. If he's in love with Jessica, why would he shell out big bucks to buy Sansa my mother's ring?"

"That depends on whether he knows Sansa is in a vegetative state now." Kieran's words left Julie somewhat puzzled.

All she knew now was that no matter what happened in the future, she had to face it bravely.

Maybe it was due to the lack of sleep the previous night, Julie dozed off unknowingly.

On their way home, Dylan whispered, "Bertha once said that Lucian bears a grudge against Julie because he thought you were forced to marry her and that she ruined your happiness. But now, you and Julie are always so lovey-dovey, both in public and in private. He must know that if he watches the news. So why would he still want to get rid of Julie? I mean, if tonight's van was really targeting Julie..."

"Before we puzzle over that, shouldn’t we also ponder why he's reluctant to come back to us?" Kieran, holding Julie in his arms, asked Dylan.

Dylan found this question very reasonable and nodded in agreement, "If he really survived the plane crash by sheer luck, why wouldn't he acknowledge you, his only kin?"

"And before we ponder that, shouldn’t we also wonder how a person could possibly survive a plane crash like that?"

Dylan exclaimed excitedly, "Exactly! How did Lucian, who's disabled in both legs, survive that plane crash? There's a lot of suspicion there!"

But no matter how many questions there were, as long as he was still alive, all the questions would eventually be answered.

Dylan smoothly parked the car at the entrance of Noblewood Retreat.

Kieran said, “It's kinda late now. You can crash here for the night."

Dylan nodded, then got out of the car to open the door for Kieran.

Julie was sound asleep. Even when the car had stopped, she didn't open her eyes.

"Do you need to wake her up?" Dylan asked.

Without responding, Kieran picked Julie up and started heading towards the house.

Following behind them, Dylan couldn’t help but say, "Kieran, you're going to spoil her rotten."

Kieran, carrying Julie, suddenly said, "You'll understand some day."

Dylan caught up and asked, “Understand what?"

Kieran replied, “Understand the feeling of extreme guilt when your woman is wronged even a little bit."

Dylan asked, “Then why did you let her suffer for so many years?" Although he knew about Kieran's love for her, the facts of the past few years were undeniable.

Kieran, holding her, suddenly stopped, smiled slightly and said, “That's why I feel guilty."

Dylan said, “Even so, everyone has their own unique way of loving someone. No matter the method, at least your intentions were good."

Kieran said, “Men always have endless excuses when consoling themselves."

Dylan looked at Kieran in surprise, “Kieran, did you touch yourself too much last night that you're not in your right mind today?"

As Kieran carried Julie upstairs, he said, “I'm just reminding you to not make the same mistakes that I did and end up regretting it."

Dylan followed asking, “Where am I sleeping tonight?"

Kieran replied, “The room where Coco stayed last time. Ask Shannon."

Being the sensible guy he was, Dylan decided not to disturb Kieran and Julie any longer. He went downstairs to Shannon and asked her with a smile, “Shannon, I need to stay here tonight. Which room did Coco stay in last time?"

“What?" Shannon looked out the window with a weird expression.

“What's wrong?" Dylan looked at her innocently.

Shannon pointed to a dog house in the garden outside the window and said, "You mean there?"

Dylan asked in surprise, "Coco is a dog?"

Shannon nodded and said, “Yes. Coco is Ivan's classmate's dog."
