Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 99

As Julie was deep in thought, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Julie and Kieran turned their heads simultaneously to see a half-asleep Ivan, eyes half-open, walking towards the bed.

Kieran quickly rolled off Julie, then covered her head completely with the blanket. Only then did he say to Ivan, "You've got the wrong room, buddy."

Ivan squinted his eyes slightly, "Dad, where's Mama Julie?"

"Dad?" Julie, who had been quietly hiding under the blanket, suddenly threw it off and sat up, screaming.

Ivan, still half-asleep, was scared and sat down on his butt.

Kieran frowned and coughed at Ivan. Ivan glanced at Kieran, then turned his gaze to Julie, finally widening his eyes, "Oh my God! You guys are sleeping without me!"

Julie was speechless.

By now, Ivan had fully woken up. He got up from the carpet, patted his butt, and looked unhappily at Julie and Kieran, "Cupid says that only people who like each other can sleep together. Cupid's parents sleep together, so Mama Julie, do you like Kerry?"

His gaze made Julie feel cornered. She simply changed the subject, "Kerry? Didn't you just call him Dad?"

Bertha's child should be about the same age as this child. Suddenly, Julie thought... what if Ivan was Kieran and Bertha's child?

Kieran noticed the shocked look in Julie's eyes. He turned his head to look at Ivan, frowning.

Ivan suddenly remembered his previous warning. What if Mama Julie dislikes him because of this?

Nervous, Ivan suddenly burst into tears, "Wah... I didn't call him Dad! Mama Julie, you heard wrong. My dad gave me to Kerry for my mom. Mama Julie doesn't love me either. Wah… I don't have a mom anymore. Wah…"

Kieran glared at Ivan. This kid was quite the actor.

Julie was initially deep in thought, but as soon as she heard Ivan crying, she immediately softened, and her eyes became much gentler.

Kieran got out of bed, brought Ivan to the side of the bed, and then placed him in the middle of the bed, covering him with the blanket, "Your dad made that sacrifice for your mom. When your dad and mom make up, you guys can be together again. By then, not only will your dad love you, but your mom will love you too!"

Ivan knew that Kerry was saying this on purpose, but he still widened his eyes, looking at Julie next to him, and asked, "What about Mama Julie? Will Mama Julie love me too?"

Julie compassionately wiped Ivan's tears, but it seemed like his tears just wouldn't stop flowing.

She quickly nodded, "Of course I will."

Kieran grabbed a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to Ivan, "From now on, you're a kid with a mom too. If you don't behave, your mom will spank you!"

"Really?" Ivan innocently stretched out his little hands with his mouth wide open, portraying a scared expression.

Julie gave Kieran a look, "How could you educate a child like this? How could his mom possibly hit him?"

Ivan's mouth was wide open, and Kieran touched Ivan's two little fangs, "You've got two little fangs, so your mom definitely won't dare to hit you."

Was it even possible to mislead a child like this? Julie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mr. Kennedy actually trusted Kieran to take care of his child. He wasn't afraid that Kieran would spoil Ivan.

Kieran ruffled Ivan's hair, "Be good; go wash your face and brush your teeth. Noah will take you to school later."

"What about Mama Julie?" Ivan's mood changed quickly. He had just been crying, but now he was looking at Julie with reluctance.

Kieran said, "Mama Julie has to go to court today."

"Oh, then Kerry has to take her to court! You have to protect Mama Julie!" Ivan's serious look made Julie feel a warmth in her heart.

But when she looked back at Kieran, she felt that Ivan had trusted the wrong person.

"Got it." Kieran put Ivan down on the carpet.

Ivan, fearing that Julie would have doubts again, began walking towards the door, saying, "I'm going to call my dad and ask when he'll introduce me to my mom."
