Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 257

In the master bedroom.

Julie was sitting at the edge of the bed, with her gaze fell on Kieran, who just hung up the phone by the window. She said, "Kieran, don't you think Amanda overreacted just now?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing. You were with her the whole day, did you notice anything off?" Kieran walked over and sat down next to Julie, asking her.

Julie shook her head, "Actually... I didn't spend much time with Amanda today."

"What happened?" Kieran had noticed that Julie looked tired when he got home. He frowned and asked her with concern, "Did Amanda make you do something?"

Julie turned around and put her hands on Kieran's shoulders, "I promised you that I won't keep secrets from you."

"And then?"

"Amanda hired a world-class coach to teach me some self-defense skills," Julie said. "I spent the whole day at home doing strength training. I didn't step outside at all. And, Amanda seemed to be strongly against me going out. When I came out of the shower and saw Shannon making soup in the kitchen, I decided to help her take out the trash. But Amanda scolded me harshly for it."

"So, you spent the whole day at home training?"

Julie realized that Kieran was referring to Julien's matter, so she explained, "It was me who let Julien tell you about it, according to Amanda's wishes. I just wanted to tell you about it myself."

Kieran nodded, "Amanda's attitude is indeed a bit strong. I'll try to understand her thoughts tomorrow morning."

Julie had no choice but to agree.

"Are you tired?" Kieran held Julie in his arms and asked.

She nestled quietly in his arms and said, "Bolt, the guy Amanda brought in, is Julien's student. He used to be Flavia's coach, so he should be a person we can trust. Both Julien and Bolt are very strong. Although I only did strength training today, I feel as proud as if I had learned some martial arts secrets."

"It seems that given time, you will certainly become a martial arts master," Kieran teased.

Julie lifted her head and looked at Kieran, "What about you? Who did you learn your martial arts from?"

"I learned it from Hayden." He fell silent for a moment, then asked her, "Do you want to continue learning? If you don't, I'll talk to Amanda about it tomorrow morning."

"Let's give it a try. Maybe I was born to practice martial arts?"

"I believe you."

Kieran got up and walked towards the bathroom. Julie also got up and leaned against the door, talking to Kieran in the bathroom, "Darling, let's make a bet?"

"What's the bet?" Kieran asked.

She thought for a moment and answered, "Greece, I want to go to Greece. If I can meet Amanda's requirements, we'll go to Greece in the future. How about that?"

"Just want to go to Greece? Don't you have bigger dreams?" Kieran took a basin of hot water.

"Bigger dreams? I can't think of any. Like what?"

"A wedding, haven't you thought about it?"

A wedding? Julie thought for a while, then looked at Kieran with surprise, "Haven't we held a wedding yet? Why do I feel like I've known you for a long time?"

"Perhaps we knew each other in a previous life, and maybe our wedding was held in a previous life." He placed the basin of water next to the sofa.

Julie laughed and said, "Are we still going to have a wedding? What kind of wedding do you prefer? Have you thought about what kind of wedding dress I will wear?"

Talking about the wedding, Julie was very excited.

Kieran led her to sit down on the sofa, gently pulled her out of her slippers, and helped her roll up her pant legs.

"Are you going to wash my feet?" Julie looked down at Kieran taking off her shoes, feeling warm.

Julie slightly shrank her feet, "I can do it myself..."

Kieran gently placed Julie's delicate feet into the water. The water temperature was just right, very comfortable.

The perfect water temperature surprised Julie.

Kieran's hand lightly grabbed Julie's calf, skillfully massaging it for her, and said, "The first few days of training, your arms and legs will definitely be sore. If you can't bear it, just tell me, okay?"

"OK." Looking at Kieran's focused movements, Julie couldn't help but smile.

"Just now I said if you succeed, I'll take you to Greece. But what if you fail?" Kieran brought the topic back.

Julie shook her head, "I haven't thought about it, do you have any suggestions?"

"If you fail..."

"Yeah?"

"Then we'll have a daughter." He said, as if the idea had been in his mind for a long time, just waiting for a suitable reason to say it.

Julie helplessly lifted Kieran's chin, "Kieran, can you tell me, why do you like daughters so much?"

"Your genes are good, so it would be a waste not to use them."

This sentence touched Julie's heart.

"Mr. Hernandez, you moved me, really!" She said to him, "I promise you, if I can't meet Amanda's requirements, I'll tell her that we will definitely try to give her a great-grandchild."
