Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 100

When Julie turned around with the phone and walked away, Ivan freaked out instantly. He immediately

threw himself on the ground, grabbing Kieran’s leg. “Oh boy, Kerry, I’m in deep shit! What if Mama Julie

ditches me7”

“Calm down”

Kieran coldly glanced at Ivan, who was clinging to his leg. It was about time Ivan learned about the

seriousness of situations. Otherwise, he would just keep messing things up all day. Ever since Julie

showed up, Karl had to meet with his teacher almost every week. This kid always had others solve his

problems. It was about time for him to learn his lesson.

“Calm down?” Ivan was agitated the moment he heard this. He quickly climbed up from Kieran’s feet

and glared at him, “You want me to calm down? If you don’t get a divorce, how is Mama Julie not going

to ditch me?”

Kieran bent down and scooped Ivan up

This action scared the hell out of Ivan. He slapped his own face as quickly as he could, “I was wrong!

Kerry, I was wrong! Please don’t make me practice writing!

What a clever boy!

Although he seemed to slap himself hard, his movements were actually very gentle.

Ivan knew that if Kieran slapped him, it would hurt, but if he slapped himself, he could control the force.

So he didn’t hesitate to slap himself first.

Kieran couldn’t help but laugh after watching his son be so smart,

He picked up the tablet on the bedside table, plugged in the earphones, and put one in his own ear and

the other in Ivan’s ear.

Just as Ivan was looking at Kieran in confusion, the conversation between Julie and Hayden came

through the earphones.

After Julie politely introduced herself, she asked Hayden, “Mr. Kennedy, could you tell me your full

name?”

Mr. Kennedy?

Hayden suddenly remembered the chat history between Kieran and Juke he had accidentally seen

before. At that time, he mocked Kieran for only being able to chat with his ex-wife online. Now, the

voice on the other end of the phone was obviously Julie’s

And Julie was calling him Mr. Kennedy. He remembered that the ID Kieran used when chatting with

Julie was “J Kennedy

The favor Kieran needed from Hayden was probably to help him fie

Kieran was completely confident in Hayden’s understanding and adaptability, which is why he entrusted

this task to him.

Hayden got the picture. However, naming was not his forte.

He looked up and saw Julien, who was lying on the sofa and had already fallen asleep quietly

Hayden smiled as he looked at the woman on the sofa. He lowered his voice on purpose and said to

Julie, “Jullan.”

Kieran was speechless.

He only thought about making things easier for himself. Didn’t he know that Julie knew Julien?

When she heard this name, Julie was obviously taken aback.

Hayden seemed to be afraid that Julie would misunderstand him, so he repeated it. “Yes, Julian,”

Julie chuckled, “What a coincidence. I have a good friend named Jullen.“

“Oh? Is that so?” Hayden glanced at Julien and answered casually

Hayden didn’t know the purpose of Julie’s call to Ivan’s father, so as long as Julie didn’t ask, he

wouldn’t speak. This was the safest way to avoid mistakes.

Hayder’s answers were flawless and didn’t sound like he was lying.

Julie thought for a while and asked, “Mr. Kennedy, you should also be at Noblewood Retreat now,

right?”

“What’s the matter?” Instead of answering Julie’s question, Hayden asked her directly about her

intentions.

“Nothing, it’s just… If nothing unexpected happens, my collaboration with Mr Hernandez will end today.

Mr. Kennedy, you may not know this, but Mr. Hernandez is actually my boss I know Mr. Hernandez is a

good friend of yours, but it’s a little inconvenient for me to live at his place”

“So, you don’t want to take care of Ivan anymore?” Hayden interrupted Julle. It seemed that Kieran had

already tricked her into his house. But she was still thinking about leaving

When Mr. Kennedy misunderstood her, Julie quickly said, ‘No. Ivan is very adorable. If you don’t mind, I

am willing to continue taking care of Ivan. I’m also very grateful that you allowed me to stay at the

Gilded Gate Residences for a while. I was thinking about looking for a house after work today. If you

don’t mind, I would like to take Ivan to live somewhere else.”

In the bedroom, Ivan looked innocently at Kieran, “Dad, Mama Julie is leaving you. You’re really

pathetic.”

This kid was really asking for it.

Kieran waited for Hayden’s answer on the other end of the phone.

Hayden knew Kieran very well, so he naturally understood why Kieran wanted Julie to stay by his side.

So when Julie made this request, Hayden flatly refused, “No.”

This arsyer was succinct and left Julie at a loss.

She frowned slightly. Before she could speak, she heard Hayden’s explanation on the other end of the

phone, “Ms. Abraham, I’m a businessman. The business world is like a battlefield, it’s full of risks. I let

Ivan live with Kieran to ensure his safety. I hope you understand.”

Maybe Mr. Kennedy’s enemies in the business world wanted to retaliate against him through Ivan.

Julie could understand this. When the Abraham family was still prosperous, she had also been

kidnapped by Padgett Abrahams enemies. Now that Mr. Kennedy said this, Julie had no reason to take

lyan away. After all, Ivan’s life was more important than her awkward relationship with Kieran.

And Mr. Kennedy sounded pretty firm about it.

So Julie didn’t push the subject any further and awkwardly said to Mr. Kennedy on the other end of the

phone, “Got it. Well, I hope you patch up things with your ex-wife soon”

“Patching up with his ex-wife”?

What kind of scheme was Kieran up to?

Hayden still sounded calm as he responded to Julie, “Mmm.”

“Oh yeah. Before he hung up, Julie said, “Mr. Kennedy, I’m more than willing to help you out. You really

don’t have to keep sending me gifts.”

Kieran had sent her gifts before?

Hayden said. “Just keep them. There’s no need to be shy”

After all, it wasn’t his money. Kieran was spending.

With that, Hayden hung up the phone.

When Julie turned around to go back to her bedroom, Kieran had already put his earphones away and

was sitting on the bed, reading a magazine.

Ivan was in Kieran’s arms, pointing at a word in the book and saying, “I don’t recognize this word.”

“Ivan, go wash up and then come down for breakfast Julie glanced at her watch and told Ivan, who was

in Kierans arms.

Ivan immediately climbed out of Kieran’s arms and headed upstairs to his room.

Jule was still wrapped in a towel. She had washed her clothes from yesterday, but they were still wet.

She took them down and was about to blow dry them when Kieran got up, fetched a business suit from

next door, and handed it to Julie, “You have a court appearance today, right? As my legal

representative, you can’t just wear anything.”

Since Kieran had put it that way. Julie didn’t refuse. She thanked him and took the clothes to the

bathroom to change.

When Julie came out of the bathroom, all dressed, Kieran was no longer in the room.

Julie opened the bedroom door to see Ivan standing there with a backpack, smiling.

“All set? I’ll cook breakfast now. We’ll have the butler drive you to school after Julie said.

But Ivan just grinned and said, “Kerry’s already downstairs cooking”

“What?” At this news, Julie’s voice shot up, startling Ivan so much that he almost dropped his

backpack.

“I mean… you don’t have to cook, Kerry’s downstairs… Ivan didn’t finish his sentence before Julie

bolted down the stairs.

What was going on?

Ivans gut told him there was some backstory he wasnt aware of, so he quickly hoisted his backpack

and wobbled after her.

Kieran couldn’t cook Julie remembered that after they got married, the first time Kieran tried to cook for

her, he nearly burned the house down.

She had been eagerly waiting for Kieran’s home-cooked meal, only to hear a crash from the kitchen.

She rushed over to see flames leaping from the pan and utensils scattered everywhere.

Freaked out, Julie quickly grabbed a lid to smother the flames.

After that, Julie never let Mr. Hernandez anywhere near the kitchen.

That left a deep impression on Julie. So when she heard Kieran was going to cook again, she freaked

out and rushed over.
