Love's Cunning Ruse novel 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?]

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?

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!"
