Chapter 85

Kieran had Julie pinned against the door. This seemed to be Mr. Hernandez’s favorite way of interacting.

Maybe because he’d done this so many times, Julie had developed a conditioned reflex.

The moment Kieran bent his head down, she already had her hands covering her mouth, successfully blocking him. Her eyes were glaring at Kieran. If looks could kill, Kieran would have been a goner

Looking at the fiercely resisting Julie in his arms, Kieran let out a devilish smirk. Standing opposite the crystal chandelier, his tall figure completely blocked all the light from Julie’s sight.

Kieran had one hand braced against the door behind Julie. His head was less than two inches away from her, smiling at her

“Julie?” His deep voice sounded above Julie’s head, a scent of red wine filling the air

His other hand was on her waist. He held her tenderly, his warm fingers just stroking her, his eyes deep and unfathomable as he gazed at her.

The atmosphere in the room became subtly charged.

Julie felt warmth spreading at her waist. She lowered her hands from her mouth, attempting to push him away To her surprise, he suddenly bent down and picked her up. After just a few steps, he put her down on the couch, then pinned her tightly.

Unable to fight back, Julie stared at Kieran seriously. “Are you drunk?”

“Darling, I’m not drunk.” His long fingers lifted her chin and as he spoke, he gently planted a kiss on her lips.

This unexpected kiss left a deep imprint in Julie’s mind. He must be drunk, otherwise he wouldn’t call her darling.

Julie pushed Kieran’s hand away, shoving at his chest, “Get off me!”

Due to the struggle just now, two buttons of Kieran’s shirt were already undone. Now with Julie’s hand on his firm chest, she instantly felt his warmth.

Julie quickly withdrew her hand, then slapped Kierans face

But he swiftly caught her hand, his other arm wrapping around her waist. He lifted her up, and then pushed her to sit on him.

She tried to squirm out of Kieran’s grip, but his hand didn’t budge.

Eventually, Julie gave up, telling Kieran directly. “You’re mistaken, I’m not Annalise!”

“I know.” He looked at her, his eyes deep as the dark abyss.

“Then who am I?” Julie asked, trying to hold back her irritation

“My wife.’ Kieran replied without hesitation.

-“You mean ex-wife Julie tried to correct him.

“Still my wife.” He insisted, even frowning a bit stubbornly, looking very serious.

In the end, Julie had to ask in resignation, “What will it take for you to let me go?”

After a moment, Kieran said only two words, ‘Kiss me.”

“No way!” Julie thought to herself. This man really had no dignity when he was drunk.

Julie didn’t move, and neither did Kieran They were in a deadlock.

Julie wasn’t a patient person. The most patient thing she’d ever done in her life, up to this point, was to continue liking Kieran all these years. So, if Kieran insisted on a standoff now, she was definitely no match for him.

In the end, Julie conceded. She bent down and left a kiss on Kieran’s forehead. After the kiss, she said seriously, “Let go!”

“Are you a chicken? The man furrowed his brows in displeasure.

Julie lowered her head, staring at Kieran, retorting, “You’re the chicken! What are you talking about?”

“If you’re not a chicken, then why are you pecking me?” The man asked righteously

Julie was left speechless by Kieran’s question. This was clearly a kiss, but why did he call it a peck?

Julie felt that it was impossible to reason with a drunk person. While Julie was lost in her thoughts, Kieran suddenly reached out and held her neck. Julle bent over following Kieran’s force, quickly propping her hands on the man’s sides to maintain some distance. But his hand was already inside her clothes, his hot fingers touching her skin.

She grabbed his hand forcefully, “Have you ever counted how many women you’ve slept with on this couch?”

Kieran was about to answer when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

“Kerry, I heard.” Ivan’s voice suddenly stopped as he saw Julie sitting on Kieran. He froze for a moment before recovering Meeting his father’s murderous gaze, he chuckled awkwardly, “Kerry. I heard my dad’s coming back, do you know when?”

Taking advantage of Kieran’s distraction, Julie quickly got off him.

Kieran knew Ivan, and Julie was aware of this because she first met Ivan at the entrance of Noblewood Retreat.

At that time, Ivan claimed that he lived next door but Julle later found out that Ivan lived in Gilded Gate Residences.

Seeing him reminded Julle of this. Upon seeing Julie, ivan immediately put on a surprised face, “Mama Julle, what are you doing here? Do you know Kerry?”

Chapter 85

Kieran glanced at his son, thinking the question was well asked

Julie walked over to Ivan. Since she was already discovered, she couldn’t say she didn’t know him, right? So, Julie nodded and looked at Kieran, “We were

classmates”

Classmates?

Kieran smiled, this explanation was correct, they were indeed classmates from middle school to high school.

Ivan pretended to have an epiphany. “My dad and Kerry were classmates tool They’re super close”

Kerry had said not to let Mama Julie know he was Kerry’s son yet, otherwise, Mama Julie would ignore them. Although Ivan didn’t know why, since it was his dad’s words, it was very credible. He must not slip up

Julie looked at Ivan and asked. I remember the last time I bumped into you at the door, you said you lived next door?”

1 live in Gilded Gate Residences, and my dad lives next door He’s coming back today I’m here to see him! Ivan said with a poker face.

Julie nodded, asking him, “So why are you here again?”

“My dad’s plane was delayed. I came to hang out with Kerry” İvan said

Just by the tone of Ivan’s voice she could tell he and Kieran were tight

She glanced at Kieran, who was passed out on the couch, then said to Ivan, “He’s hammered, he probably cant play with you”

İvan looked at Kieran, who was pretending to be asleep, then said to Julie, “Mama Julie, my dad and Kerry are nothing alike! My dad never gets drunk!”

Kieran was speechless, Ivan was spilling his secrets right in front of him. But Julie didn’t know Ivan’s dad was Kieran, so she didn’t think much of it.

Ivan nudged Julie saying “Mama Juli I’m starving I didn’t have lunch.”

Seeing Ivan’s

and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Kieran glanced towards the kitchen, asking him, “Your stepmother is

making food for you, are you happy?”

“Kerry, why can’t we let Mama Julie know I’m your son?” The little boy suddenly got serious

Kieran rubbed his son’s head, saying “Because your stepmother doesn’t like me yet What will happen if she replaces out I have a kid?”

“Kerry, you’re saying I’m a burden, that makes me sad The little boy looked at his dad with a sad face, then turned his head away

He looked a lot like Julie.

Kieran turned his sons face back, saying. When I’m too old to walk, I’ll be a burden to you. It’s fair, and there’s nothing to be sad about, right?”

“Ha ha, when you’re too old to walk, I can drink ” The little boy laughed happily.

“What?” Kieran frowned

The little boy said proudly. “After I drink, I’m also going to act cute with Mama Julie and get her to kiss me.”

Kieran flicked his son’s forehead, saying, “Kid, that’s my wife”

“She’s my stepmother too! The little boy finished, just when they heard Julie’s voice from the dining room, van, do you want to eat pastas?”

“Sure!” Ivan pushed his dad back onto the couch.

Julie looked at the little boy’s face for a few seconds longer, her brows furrowed. She always had this strange sense of familiarity. Now it hit her, Kieran and Ivan, their eyes and eyebrows looked strikingly alike.
