Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 96

Kieran, holding Julie, froze for a moment before snapping back to reality. He asked the girl in his arms, "Is this what you want?"

"What are you talking about? Put me down first!" Julie clung onto the man's shirt behind her.

Just as Julie was clutching onto the man's shirt with one hand and gripping the door frame tightly with the other, Kieran suddenly slapped her butt, "From January to February? You seem to know a lot."

After applying a bit of force, Kieran carried Julie into the room. Obviously, Julie's grasp on the door frame was useless.

After placing Julie on the bed, Kieran cheekily leaned in, looking at the girl in his arms, "You know what's the difference between me and a wolf?"

"You're more brutal than a wolf!" The first answer that came to Julie's mind was this, and before her brain could stop her, she had already blurted it out.

Kieran's smile grew wider at her response,

"More brutal than a wolf? Maybe not. But I'm definitely hornier than a wolf. Wolves mate from January to February each year, but I can mate all year round. You're aware of that, right?"

No matter what her answer was, Julie knew Kieran would either tease her or demand proof. So she cleverly replied, "Oh!"

While Kieran was leaning over her like this, he figured that sooner or later he would surrender to temptation.

He was well aware of how much restraint he could exercise around this girl, so eventually, under Julie's clear gaze, he let her go and stood up from the bed.

Kieran letting her go was something Julie hadn't expected.

After the shock, she felt a fleeting moment of gratitude towards him because, just then, she thought of her hospitalized landlord. At that moment, her desire to see her landlord punished became even stronger.

However, just as Julie was starting to relax, she heard Kieran casually say, "No daydreaming before your bath. I don't sleep with women who haven't showered."

Julie was totally dumbfounded.

She gritted her teeth but didn't curse him since she already knew about Kieran's cleanliness obsession. Still, the fact that he could say something like that was really annoying.

Julie straightened her clothes and sarcastically said, "Then please change the sheets later. I've been lying on them without bathing. What if I have a contagious disease?"

"How can sheets transmit viruses that saliva can't transmit?" He smirked, lightly touched his lips with his finger, then picked up the remote and opened the closet door.

Once Kieran started flirting, Julie was defenseless. When he mentioned saliva, she wanted to kill him.

Julie got up from the bed. Before she could stand up, Kieran was already pulling her hand, leading her towards the closet.

This time, Julie didn't resist. She knew her resistance was futile, so she let him lead her to the closet.

Kieran stopped in front of the wardrobe with Julie. He opened the wardrobe door, then said to Julie, "Clothes, pants, shoes, bags, they're all here. Wear whatever you like. Your stuff at Gilded Gate Residences has probably been thrown away, so you don't need to go back there."

So he brought her here just for this.

The last time Julie came, she already knew about this closet. Whether it was at Noblewood Retreat or in the CEO's office of Simpo Co., his closets were filled with various brands of women's clothing, varying in color, season, and style.

Julie felt a sting in her eyes as she looked at all the things he had carefully prepared for other women.

She subtly shifted her gaze and said expressionlessly, "Goodnight, Mr. Hernandez."

Julie didn't pick out any clothes. Kieran casually grabbed a set of pajamas and handed them to her.

Julie didn't take it. Since Kieran was blocking her way, she had no choice but to say, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Hernandez. But I'm not used to wearing other people's clothes."

After hearing Julie's explanation, Kieran couldn't help but laugh. He had prepared a closet full of clothes for her, yet she thought they belonged to someone else?

He leaned against the door frame, blocking her only exit.

Then he asked, "How do you know these clothes belong to someone else?"

Julie had seen these clothes. They were all Bertha's size.

She calmly lifted the label of the pajamas, then said to Kieran, "If I recall correctly, this should be Bertha's size. Last time, I saw half of the space in your office wardrobe filled with clothes of the same size. Am I wrong?"

Kieran nodded, "No, you're not wrong."

Julie felt a pang in her heart.
