Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 95

After spending so many days together, an indescribable bond had formed between Julie and Ivan. Julie's heart just melted when Ivan hugged her so innocently. She squatted down, patted him on the head, and said, "You're so adorable; how could anyone not want you?"

Julie clearly saw Ivan run out from Kieran's villa, so she held his hand, "Your dad said Gilded Gate Residences is under renovation, so he asked me to bring you to Noblewood Retreat for a while. Can you show me the way?"

But Ivan looked toward Kieran as if waiting for him to speak.

Kieran just looked at Julie, "Why don't you stay here with Ivan for a while?"

After hearing this, Ivan nodded frantically, "Yeah, yeah! Dad said we should stay here!"

Wasn't that what his dad just said? He wasn't lying.

Julie held his hand tight, looking at Kieran, and asked, "Why does his dad want us to stay here?"

Kieran glanced at the sky and said, "It's about to rain. You can either stand here in the rain while Ivan struggles to explain, or you can come in and I'll tell you."

Julie looked up at the sky. She didn't trust Kieran completely, so she hesitated.

But when a flash of lightning suddenly lit up the sky, Julie pulled Ivan and ran towards Kieran's villa.

She had always been fearless, but she was scared of thunder. Whenever she saw lightning flash across the sky, she felt like it was going to hit her any second, which always scared her.

Kieran calmly watched Julie take Ivan into the room, then smiled slightly and followed them in.

Julie led Ivan through the door. They stood awkwardly on the doormat, like kids who'd done something wrong, waiting for Kieran to speak.

Kieran said, "I don't like talking at the door." Then, he turned and walked over to a dark grey linen sofa.

"Mama Julie, Kerry's a nice guy. He won't hurt us. Shall we... shall we go sit?" Ivan tugged at Julie's sleeve, trying to mitigate the awkward atmosphere.

Julie had no choice but to follow him.

After Ivan had Julie seated on the sofa, he winked at Kieran. Whether Mama Julie could stay tonight all depended on Kieran's performance.

Julie looked at Kieran and asked, "What did you mean by what you said at the door?"

"Ivan's dad has returned to Noblewood Retreat with his ex-wife. They plan to stay there for a while. Gilded Gate Residences is being renovated, so I hope you can stay here with Ivan for a while. Once the renovation is done, you can bring him back." Kieran calmly explained.

Ivan's eyes lit up as he listened. Kieran was his father, so his father did indeed return to Noblewood Retreat with his ex-wife. This was the truth, so Kieran wasn't lying. Kerry was so smart! He'd never fight him again, or he'd be doomed!

With this understanding, Ivan suddenly became very obedient; he even stood up straight.

Julie frowned at Kieran, "So you mean, Mr. Kennedy is living with his ex-wife, and he wants me to stay here with his child?"

"Don't believe me? You can ask him yourself." After saying this, Kieran stood up, "The first guest room near the stairs on the second floor is yours. Ivan is in the bedroom on the left on the third floor."

With that, Kieran went upstairs.

Behind him, Ivan shouted, "Thank you, Kerry!"

Julie took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and sent a message to 'J Kennedy,’ "Mr. Kennedy, are you suggesting that Ivan and I stay at Mr. Hernandez's house?"

On the second floor, Kieran was leaning over the balcony, watching Julie downstairs, and messing around with his phone.

After receiving Julie's message, Kieran chuckled and replied, "Yes."

Thinking his answer was too simple, he added, "It took a lot of work to convince my ex-wife to come back. I hope you understand."

Julie had to accept this. After all, she was just a nanny, and Kieran had taken good care of her these past few days. He was just asking for a small favor. She couldn't refuse.

So she replied, "Okay, Mr. Kennedy."

Ivan ran to Kieran and tugged at his pants, "Kerry..."

Kieran glanced at the last message Julie sent, didn't reply, but squatted down in front of Ivan and asked, "What's up?"
