Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 46

Julie was quite good at taking a jab, but Kieran just smiled it off every time. In a blink, when Kieran was off guard, Julie snatched his phone and hung up his call.

Kieran didn’t take it easy. Julie wanted to snatch back the phone, but she knew she was no match for him. So, she just quietly resumed her meal.

In their marital life, Julie had learned to put up with him and adapt.

Kieran casually unlocked Julie's phone without a passcode, then dialed her number with his phone. Hearing the busy tone, he knew he'd been blocked by Julie. No surprise there.

Kieran removed his number from Julie's blocklist, labeled his contact as 'Ex-husband', and handed back the phone.

Seeing 'Ex-husband' on her screen, Julie turned green with infuriation. "What the hell, Kieran?"

"Just like this, you won't be able to scam anyone anymore," Kieran said nonchalantly.

Scam? He was giving her too much credit! Was he implying that she deliberately crashed his car yesterday, trying to get close to him?

Julie tosses her phone on the table, staring at Kieran. "I'm broke, you can only wait for my accidental compensation."

"You mean, you'd rather die than give in?" Kieran chuckled, picking up his cup for a sip of water.

Julie wanted to tell him she had just drank from that cup, but she held back. If he wanted to drink, why should she care?

"Give me some time, I'll pay for the car repair," she said.
