Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 127

After a moment of silence, Julie finally found the best way to answer Mr. Kennedy's question.

She quickly typed out a message on her keyboard, and Kieran on the other side of the phone received her message.

She wrote, "Before you consider pursuing your ex-wife, I suggest you understand her wishes and feelings first."

Then, Julie replied again, "Mr. Kennedy, goodnight."

Julie quickly logged out of WhatsApp and lay in bed.

The last words Kieran said during the video chat were still echoing in her mind. He asked her when she would be going home. Julie smiled faintly, but there was bitterness in her smile.

Where was her home?

Julie hugged her phone and curled up in the corner of the bed, falling into a drowsy sleep.

Kieran, however, had a sleepless night.

Although it had only been a few days, he seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of holding Julie as he fell asleep.

He held the picture of him and Julie that he had snatched from Ivan, a faint smile on his lips.

The most excited person that night was undoubtedly Ivan. He took the thickest dictionary off the shelf and shook it. Dozens of identical photos slid out from the pages.

He looked at the photos with satisfaction and a mischievous smile.

He thought Kerry was sometimes stupid. Since he dared to confront him with the photo, why wouldn't he keep some copies?

Ivan put a photo under his pillow, and then stuffed the rest of the photos into the dictionary, finally putting the dictionary back on the shelf with satisfaction.

Then he went back to bed happily, patting his pillow lightly. He was already planning how to help his father...

The next morning, when Ivan was dropped off at school by Noah, he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Hayden suddenly appeared in front of Kieran. Karl was reporting today's schedule to Kieran.

Seeing Hayden come over, Karl was surprised, "Mr. Simson?"

"Do you need something?" If Hayden didn't need anything, he definitely wouldn't look for Kieran. Kieran knew this.

Hayden sat across from Kieran and asked directly, "When are you going to see Joyce?"

Although Karl was not a gossip, he now perked up his ears, curiously watching Kieran, waiting for his answer.

"Are you too bored?" Kieran meant, when did Hayden have time to care about his relationship with Julie?

Hayden's next sentence was surprising, "Julien said that if you don't go to Oakhurst, she will go herself."

Kieran understood. Hayden's appearance was for Julien, not because he was interested in his private life. So how important was this woman, Julien, to Hayden?

Kieran looked at Hayden sitting across from him with a meaningful gaze. Hayden saw through the mischief in Kieran's eyes with one glance, and said to Kieran with his eyes slightly narrowed, "Stop Julien from going to Oakhurst, or I'll take Ivan to Oakhurst. You choose."

Kieran naturally heard the threat in Hayden's words. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back at Karl, "Karl, get a helicopter ready for Mr. Simson to go to Oakhurst."

Karl thought the two men in front of him were both cunning, and neither could threaten the other. But since Mr. Hernandez was his master, Karl still took out his phone, ready to pass on Kieran's instruction.

Hayden's deep gaze swept over Kieran's face, saying, "So you're not going to pursue Joyce for now?"

"Why the rush?" Kieran put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at Hayden.

It seemed that there was still room for negotiation between the two. Karl quietly hung up the phone again.

Kieran stood up, walked over to Hayden and sat down, saying, "I want to give her some time to calm down..."

Before Kieran could finish, Hayden's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and pressed the answer key. Julien's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you at Noblewood Retreat?"

Before Hayden could answer, Julien said again, "I saw your car at the entrance."

Hayden turned to look at Kieran and seriously advised him, "I suggest you agree to cooperate."

"Going all out to protect Julie and Ivan's safety? Does the National Security Agency have that power?" Kieran looked at Julien seriously.

Julien looked at Kieran calmly, "I promise you."

After that, Julien handed her phone to Kieran. The phone screen displayed a flight she had booked, which was to Oakhurst at three o'clock in the afternoon.

So Julien was serious. That was also why Hayden came to find Kieran today.

Julien told Kieran, "If you don't plan to bring Julie back, then I'll go to Oakhurst right away."

"Safe travels." Then, Kieran turned to Karl and said, "See them out."

Kieran was the first person to speak so bluntly to her.

"So, you're sure you don't want to cooperate with us?" Julien asked one last time.

Kieran turned around, "I don't like people who beat around the bush. If you're not going to tell the truth, it's hard for me to cooperate."

When she was with Hayden, Julien felt like she had used up all her wisdom. There must be a reason why Kieran and Hayden could be friends. Judging from Kieran's keen insight, he was not easy to deal with.

After years of being with Hayden, the biggest lesson Julien learned was never to lie to someone smarter than you.

So Julien took off the micro intercom from her ear, threw it on the ground and crushed it with her shoes. She also took off the bug disguised as a black earring from her ear and threw it into a mug full of water nearby.

"Going to Oakhurst is a mission assigned to me by the National Security Agency. If Mr. Hernandez is unwilling to cooperate, the National Security Agency doesn't mind using Julie as bait."

To be honest, the National Security Agency is threatening Kieran to cooperate with them.

And Julien's purpose was, "I'm flying to Oakhurst at three o'clock this afternoon. If you set off before three o'clock and find Julie before the National Security Agency, they won't be able to take action against her."

So Julien is here to warn him, her purpose is to get Kieran to go to Oakhurst as soon as possible and bring Julie back. She had made it very clear. The next move is up to Kieran...
