Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 28

Kieran's sudden appearance was like a bright light thrown into a dimly lit restaurant. No matter where he was, his unique charm had a way of alerting Julie to his presence. Today was no different.

Jeremy's voice, laced with a hint of flattery, reached Julie's ears.

Julie knew who the man behind her was, but she never turned around.

Kieran's gaze had a hint of displeasure as it fell on Jeremy's hand that was holding Julie's.

Perhaps it was because Kieran's gaze was so intense that Jeremy followed it, realized he was still holding Julie's hand, and instinctively wanted to let go.

To his surprise, Julie, who was sitting opposite him, took the initiative to hold his hand back and said with a slight smile, "Jeremy, what's the matter? Let's keep going."

Julie was determined to completely ignore Kieran behind her. Even when she heard his familiar voice, she stayed cool and never turned around.

Love was a small matter; business was the big deal. Jeremy thought to himself, after all, the man standing behind Julie was Kieran. So, Jeremy quickly let go of Julie's hand and pointed to Kieran behind him, saying to Julie, "Ms. Abraham, this is the CEO of Simpo Co., Mr. Hernandez."

Kieran had somehow moved to Julie's side and stood there.

His face showed no excess emotion; he was just casually glancing at Julie, who was sitting in the chair.

She was wearing an off-shoulder dress today, which perfectly highlighted her delicate skin. Her exquisite collarbone was particularly sexy. Even her casual posture exuded elegance.

She had light makeup on, apparently for today's blind date.

Thinking about this made Kieran's gaze even more profound.

He casually asked Jeremy, "Mr. Ford, aren't you going to introduce this lady?"

When it came to Julie, Jeremy seemed a bit proud. After all, the beautiful Julie sitting opposite him was hard to ignore.

So he laughed heartily as the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes all squeezed out. He was completely oblivious to Kieran's expression and instead introduced Julie to Kieran, "Mr. Hernandez, this is my fiancée, Julie."

Jeremy looked incredibly awkward standing opposite them.

At that moment, he felt like an outsider as he watched the two of them lock eyes. The mere exchange of glances was enough to make him feel uneasy.

Even if Jeremy was a bit slow, he could tell something was up from Kieran's demeanor.

He cautiously glanced at Julie, then at Kieran, finally asking tentatively, "Mr. Hernandez, do you know Ms. Abraham?"

"No!"

"She's my ex-wife."

Two voices rang out at the same time, one from Julie and one from Kieran.
