Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 59

Ivan confessed that he was asking someone to be his nanny for the first time in his life. Seeing Julie's reluctant face, he quickly added, "If you don’t want to be my nanny, be my mom! I can tell you bedtime stories!"

Looking at his lively and interesting manner, Julie couldn’t help but laugh. Before she could respond, Ivan’s phone rang. The ringtone echoed in the quiet ward, "Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird..."

Upon hearing the ringtone, Julie felt a pang in her heart. But he calmly answered the phone. His father's voice came from the other end, "Did you get the vaccine?"

"Yep." He nodded affirmatively.

"Go home now." Kieran commanded.

Instantly, Ivan put on a long face, turning his back to Julie, he told Kieran on the phone, "I'm not going home, I met my mom, come pick her up!"

Outside the door, the corners of Kieran's mouth raised slightly. Hearing Ivan’s nonsense, Julie quickly spoke up, “Can I have a word with your dad?”

After looking at Julie and then his phone, he whispered to Kieran on the other end of the phone, "Dad, my mom wants to talk to you, be nice!"

After that, he handed the phone to Julie.

"Hello, my name is Julie."

"Uh-huh." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone. Julie didn’t mind. She told Kieran on the other end of the phone, "Although we don't know each other, I think Ivan is a very cute kid. I hope you can spend more time with him if possible."

"Who needs his company?" Ivan proudly interjected.

After waiting for a while without a response, Julie felt that she was meddling too much in other people's family affairs. From the way Ivan left, she could tell that he came from a wealthy family with a long line of nannies and bodyguards.

It’s common for parents to neglect their children due to work.

In the end, Julie handed the phone back to Ivan. After hearing Kieran's words on the other end of the phone, Ivan turned to Julie and said, "My dad told me to go home. Julie, can you give me your phone number? I promise not to bother you every day."

He reached out, tugging at Julie's sleeve, his chubby little hand stretched out cutely. She couldn't bear to refuse him, so she gave him her number.

Only then did Ivan smile satisfyingly at Julie, revealing two cute dimples, "Can I have a kiss before I leave?"

With a bit of helplessness, Julie bent down and lightly kissed the little guy's cute face, "Good boy, go home and rest well."

The little guy was clearly surprised. He took out his phone, pointed to the other side of his face, "Mom, one more kiss."

Julie never thought one day she would be so tender and loving towards someone else's child. She looked at the little guy's expectant eyes and for some reason, she kissed his face again. The little guy immediately snapped a picture and said joyfully, "Thanks, mom, I'm leaving, don’t forget to miss me!"

Julie watched as the little guy walked out with the nanny, he excitedly pointed at the picture and looked up at the nanny, "Isn't my mom beautiful?"

With a wry smile, Julie shook her head. Ivan got in the car and sent the picture to Kieran, even leaving a message on WhatsApp saying, "What do you think of my pick?"

Just as Kieran was leaning against the door of Julie's ward, he saw the little guy's message. Kieran replied with a smile.

In the car, Ivan, being too young to read, turned his head and handed the phone to Shawna, "Shawna, what did he say?"

Shawna read it out, "Kieran said he's going to take your phone when you get home."

What? No way, the picture he just took is still on the phone!

Ivan immediately called his dad, the first thing he said was, "You're just jealous! You're jealous that the woman I kissed is prettier than yours, hmph!"

Shawna, hearing this, gasped.

Kieran looked at the picture of Julie and Ivan, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile, then he calmly said to Ivan on the other end of the phone, "Yeah, I'm jealous. So, I'm punishing you with two hours of handwriting practice, to be checked tonight."

Ivan yelled out long, about to complain about Kieran's strictness, but the call was abruptly ended by Kieran.

When Julie returned to the ward, she found Kieran leaning against the wall by the door. Seeing her come back, Kieran put away his phone. Kieran helped Julie open the door of the ward, and Julie politely said, "Thank you."

Kieran and Julie walked into the ward together. Just as Kieran was wondering why Julie hadn't kicked him out, Julie took out an envelope and handed it to him.

With that, Kieran left again.

Julie looked down at the envelope next to her, picked it up after a while and dialed Dr. Brice's number, "Dr. Brice, it's Julie. Are you in your office?"

"Ms. Abraham, I was just about to call you!" Dr. Brice's excited voice came from the other end.

"Can I come over now?" Julie asked.

Dr. Brice quickly agreed.

Julie, clutching the envelope, went to Dr. Brice's office. She knocked on the door and heard Dr. Brice's voice, "Come in."

Julie sat down across from Dr. Brice, tightened her grip on the envelope, and handed it to him, "Dr. Brice, about this month's medical bills for Sansa..."

"I was just about to call you about that." Dr. Brice looked at Julie, a smile creeping up on his face, "The hospital received an anonymous donation specifically for your sister. It's a large sum and since it's anonymous, we don't know who it's from. I wanted to ask if you knew who it might be?"

Who could the anonymous donor be? Julie was confused. The only person she could think of with the means to do that was Kieran. But why would he remain anonymous?

Seeing Julie's dazed expression, Dr. Brice asked, "Ms. Abraham, do you have any idea who it might be?"

Julie shook her head, "Dr. Brice, I'll be paying this month's medical bills myself. Please tell the hospital director not to use the donation for now. Thank you."

She quickly stood up and left, leaving Dr. Brice puzzled.

Julie didn't believe that Kieran would donate anonymously to Sansa, especially since Sansa was the one who had trapped Kieran into marrying her. But actions always beat thoughts for Julie. She already had her phone out, dialing Kieran's number.

After a few rings, Kieran picked up, "Hello?"

"Mr. Hernandez, there's something I need to ask you..."

"OK, go ahead."
