Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 223

Julie curiously looked at Kieran, just wanting to see how he was going to solve the current issue. But

she was surprised to see him rummaging around for his phone. Once he found it, he dialed a number

and ordered loudly, “Villa 3, Block A, Noblewood Retreat, send over two boxes of condoms.”

Julie sat on the edge of the bed, totally stunned. She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It

was already 1:20 a.m. Ordering condoms delivered in the middle of the night? This was the first time

Julie wished she could crack Kieran’s head open to see what was going on inside.

Before she could say anything, Kieran was talking to the person on the other end of the phone again.

“Yeah, the biggest size.” After finishing his call, he calmly turned to Julie, “Babe, he’s asking what type

you prefer?”

Julie was speechless.

Before she could reply, Kieran handed her the phone.

Julie immediately hung up, “I thought I was shameless, how can you be even more shameless than

me?”

“Who were you calling?” Julie asked him.

He sat down next to her and replied, “The 24-hour supermarket at Noblewood Retreat

He glanced at the top of Julie’s robe and said, “Nice outfit.”

She smiled and asked him, “Is it me who looks nice or the outfit?”

“Your bust,” he replied bluntly.

Julie threw a pillow at Kieran, “Are you sober yet?”

Kieran shook his head, “I feel like I’m dreaming, does that count as sober?”

“Dylan mentioned earlier that you had a bottle of wine ready for us to share?” Julie wasn’t really drunk,

and she had sobered up quite a bit since the drive home.

She brought up the wine because Dylan had mentioned it earlier. Kieran had planned to surprise her by

having Tina deliver the wine to their house. So she wanted to make up for the surprise she’d missed.

Another reason was that it had been a long time since they’d been intimate. Since giving birth, she felt

like she needed a bit of liquid courage. And boy, did she need it! Even though it was something they

both wanted.

When she mentioned the bottle of wine, Kieran probably sobered up a bit. He pointed towards their

bedroom and said, “It’s on the wine rack in my room. Go get it.”

Julie nodded and was about to get up when Kieran suddenly said, “Actually, I’ll go get it!”

“Oh!” Julie patted the bed, “Then I’ll wait for you.”

“Okay.” Kieran leaned against the wall as he walked towards the bedroom. Julie sat in a daze for a

moment, then started rummaging around for a camera to capture her beautiful nightgown. Just then,

her phone rang.

She put the camera on the dressing table and quickly answered the call.

It was Kieran calling. She asked with a smile, “What are you doing?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the wall separating the two rooms suddenly opened.

The master bedroom was filled with roses that Kieran had prepared but didn’t get a chance to give her.

The white bed sheets were covered in red roses. It looked! quite enticing and full of passion.

Kieran was holding two glasses of wine.

He stood by the bed and said to her, “Honey, I love you!”

His sudden confession was like a hot cup of water poured into a cold cup. It instantly warmed her

heart..

She slowly walked towards him, her smile growing wider.

She said, “Me too.”

Just at that very moment, Kieran’s phone rang. He put one of the wine glasses on the bedside table

and picked up his phone, not too happily. It was the supermarket employee, saying the condoms were

at the villa’s entrance.

“Why don’t you go get it, I’ll wait for you here,” Julie said to Kieran with a smile.

Kieran nodded and told the person on the other end of the phone to leave the condoms at the

entrance, then he went downstairs to get them.

Kieran was very familiar with the layout of the house. He didn’t turn on the lights, probably to avoid

disturbing the other servants.

Julie looked at the roses on the bed. They obviously couldn’t have been found by Kieran just now, so

they were probably what he had prepared last night.

He had prepared the wine and roses to surprise her, and it was clear he had been planning it for a

while. But she didn’t come home last night because she was with Daphne

When she told him she was going to be with Daphne, he didn’t show any dissatisfaction or mention the

wine and roses.

Julie felt a bit touched. She picked up a rose and was quiet for a while. Then she suddenly

remembered something, took out her phone, opened the search engine, and searched, “What should I

do for the first time after not having sex for a long time after giving birth?”

Netizens responded.

[Are you planning to cheat?]

[It depends on whether you have psychological trauma from childbirth or psychological issues with the

man.]

[How long has it been since you and your husband had sex?]

Julie responded: [Many years.]

The comments below exploded immediately.

Is your husband a ninja turtle?]

[He might be having an affair.]

Julie glanced at the comments and replied without hesitation: [You’re the one having an affair!]

Netizen commented: [Your husband might be having an affair. To win back a man’s heart, you need to

win back his body first.]

Julie thought for a while and asked: [Any good advice?]

[Preparation is important. If you can’t generate interest, you can watch porns with your husband, drink

sorne wine, play some games. I’ve provided some resources, good luck!)

He also left a link.

Julie curiously hovered the cursor over the link, wondering if it was a virus. Just as she was debating

whether to click it, Kieran suddenly pushed open the bedroom door. This startled Julie, and she

clutched her phone tightly.

She didn’t originally plan to click the link, but in that moment, she clicked on it.

In a panic, she tried to exit the webpage, but in her flustered state, she accidentally knocked over the

wine glass that Kieran had just set down. The wine spilled all over the bed and her clothes.

She put down her phone and stood up, trying to clean up the mess.

But before she could start, a sound that made her blush came from her phone.

Just took a stroll outside, got a bit of chill air, and Kieran woke up quite a bit. The noise instantly knitted

his brows as he stood by the door.

He looked meaningfully at a flustered Julie, opened his lips slightly, and asked in a deep, nice voice, “Is

this your idea of a surprise?”

Julie looked up, waved her hands in a hurry and grinned goofily, reaching for her phone, “This is a

surprise to me too!”

She picked up her phone, trying to exit the webpage, but it seemed like the phone was really infected.

No matter how she tried, she couldn’t exit, nor could she mute the sound. Her face turned redder by the

second and she quickly hid her phone behind her, hitting the power button.

Yet, as if to spite her, the phone refused to turn off.

Kieran was already walking towards her, waving something in his hand with a meaningful expression,

“Did you plan some entertainment in advance?”

Julie’s mind was completely messed up by the noise from the phone. Her smile was so stiff, it looked

worse than crying. Who invented this virus?

phone

He tossed something onto the bed, reaching for Julie’s phone hidden behind her back, Julie clutched

her phone tightly, stepping back.

His head, which was supposed to rest on her shoulder, accidentally bumped into her chin due to her

retreat.

“I swear I’ve never seen this before, do you believe me?” Julie’s face was so red, it was almost

bleeding.

The corner of Kieran’s mouth curved upward, “Can’t turn off your phone?”

“Seems like it’s infected.” She brought out her phone, desperately covering the speaker, blushing so

hard she couldn’t even look at his face.

“Just smash the phone then.” He reached out to grab her phone.

“No!” Julie clutched the phone to her chest seriously, “This phone was bought by Sansa!”

This phone was quite old and Julie had repaired it a few times. It was a smartphone from a few years

back, the latest model at the time, with no issues making calls or browsing the internet. She hadn’t

replaced her phone all these years.

Kieran naturally knew this. Seeing her protective expression, he suggested helplessly, “Then let it make

noise all night.”

Julie’s face turned even redder. She suddenly remembered what the gentleman had said earlier about

accompanying her husband for drinks and watching movies to spice things up.

After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered the courage to look up at the man and said, “Why don’t

we watch it together?”

“Watch what?” The man suddenly felt a bit tipsy.

She held up her phone in front of the man, then shyly looked up at him, curiously asking, “Do you think

this woman has a good figure?”

“There’s only a man on the screen right now,” he said.

Julie fell silent, thought for a moment, then quietly asked, “What about the man’s figure?”

“Not as good as mine,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Julie was about to lower her hand to confirm for herself. But before she could shift

her gaze to the phone, Kieran suddenly grabbed her hand. Then, the man stared intently at the phone,

then praised the character in the video with a face full of admiration, “This woman has a great figure,

really great!”
