Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 37

Julie felt a bit on edge as she listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom. She wanted to bolt from the house, leaving him alone, but was worried that if she returned, her small room might’ve been torn apart by Kieran’s single command.

So, Julie had no choice but to spend her time contemplating strategies on her tiny bed, which felt like ages.

She wanted to whip out her phone and call Karl, begging him to come and fix this hot mess. But then she remembered her phone had been snatched by the man in the bathroom and handed over to Karl, who was to contact Adeline about compensation.

Julie took a deep breath and glanced around her home.

Finally, her gaze settled on an empty vase on the table.

After all these years of knowing Kieran, she had never seen him drunk. If he started to lose control, she could knock him out with the vase. Maybe that was a good idea.

With this thought, Julie’s hand had already touched the vase.

She carefully picked up the vase, examining it.. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

This fragile little vase wouldn’t kill someone, right?

Julie thought she must’ve gone mad to even consider such an absurd idea.

Like a deflated ball, she turned to put the vase back.

Just then, Kieran suddenly pushed open the bathroom door from the inside.

Julie, holding the vase, looked up at the sound and then…

She saw a stark–naked man.

She got so startled that she fumbled and dropped the vase.

Luckily, the thick carpet saved the vase from shattering.

Julie was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, asking, “What the hell are you doing?”

Unexpectedly, Kieran flashed a weird smile, and the corner of his mouth lifted, “I’ve finished showering. What’s next?”

This was the first time Julie felt like she couldn’t vent her anger.

Although they had been married for three years and knew each other quite well, when she saw him naked again after so many years, Julie had to admit that he had become more mature and more attractive.

Even though her heart had gone cold, those deep feelings for Kieran that were etched in her memory seemed ready to burst out at this very moment.

Julie turned around, grabbed a pink towel from the wardrobe, tossed it at the man, and said coldly. “Wrap up.”

Julie’s voice was icy and filled with finality.

After saying that, she turned her back on Kieran, maintaining her silence in anger.

Surprisingly, Kieran was unusually obedient.

Before long, Kieran’s voice came from behind her, “Wrapped up.”

The tone of his voice left Julie stunned.

She turned around and was completely shocked!

Was this really being wrapped up? This was her first time seeing a man wrap a towel around his upper body!

The towel was perfect for her figure; even if she wrapped it around her chest, it barely covered her butt. However, when this petite towel was wrapped around Kieran’s muscular chest, the lower part just covered the man’s abdominal muscles.

“Wrap it around your lower body! Kieran, are you looking for trouble?” Julie really wanted to toss this man out like garbage, but unfortunately, she couldn’t lift him; otherwise, she would’ve surely thrown him out.

She angrily yelled at the jnmobile man again, “I said wrap it around your lower body!”

Kieran calmly walked towards her, looking down at her from above, then said, “You help me.”
