Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 241

Kyle tightly held onto Julie's waist, keeping her from falling flat on her face, while she instinctively clung to his arm.

Kieran attempted to grab Julie, but his hand stopped mid-air. Snowflakes fell on his coat, slowly melting away.

Snapping out of it, Julie quickly got up.

Kyle silently released Julie's waist, lowered his head and smiled politely at her, "Why are you hopping around like a kid without looking where you're going?"

After speaking, he turned to Kieran, as if he just noticed him, made a slight adjustment to his glasses, "Ah, Mr. Hernandez, you’re here too, what a coincidence."

"Indeed." Kieran looked at Kyle, then at Lisa standing next to him, turned his head, pulled Julie into his arms, lightly touched her nose, "You should thank Kyle."

He was referring to Kyle helping Julie just now, Julie immediately understood, looked at Kyle and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Kyle."

"Be more careful when you walk." he said with a smile, the kind that you'd see from an elder towards a junior.

Julie nodded.

A voice came from the side, "Mr. Kyle, we should get going."

"Mr. Kyle, you've got something to do?" Kieran asked.

Their gaze met, making Julie a little nervous.

Kyle nodded, "I've got some work stuff, I'll head out first, we'll catch up over a meal when we're free."

"Sure." Kieran agreed.

Lisa pointed down the road, Kyle smiled at Julie, then turned and walked in the direction Lisa pointed.

Once Kyle was out of sight, Julie suddenly grabbed Kieran's hand, clenching it, wanting to catch up with Kyle.

Lisa suddenly turned around, Julie who was ready to tail Kyle had to awkwardly turn her head, resulting in her bumping into Kieran's chest, leaving her a little dazed.

Kieran couldn't help but laugh, "Why don't you let Julien teach you some tricks?"

Embarrassed by her own actions, Julie rubbed her head and lowered it.

"Did they leave?" Julie, with her back towards Kyle, asked Kieran.

Kieran nodded, and asked, "Do you still want ice cream?"

She looked at the ice cream in his hand, although it was no longer as appealing, it hadn't completely melted. She took the vanilla ice cream, took a bite, and said, "I feel like Kyle... he's changed, changed a lot."

"Like what?" he asked.

She thought for a moment, then said, "Kyle used to pamper Sansa a lot, the way he looked at Sansa was like... she was his whole world, everyone else seemed to be invisible to him. I didn't speak much with him before. But I know he really liked Sansa."

Before Julie's family went bankrupt, Sansa was the center of attention, a true rich girl. She was the successor cultivated by her mother, showing excellence in all aspects.

In Julie's memory, Kyle was also incredibly outstanding.

She looked at Kieran and said, "But now, Kyle's like a puzzle... sometimes he seems to have feelings for Sansa, but sometimes it looks like he doesn't care about her at all. Even the way he speaks has become more thoughtful."

"People change." Kieran said, "What's important is why they change."

"The other day when Kyle was talking to Sansa in the ICU, I don't know what they talked about, but I'm sure Sansa's rising blood pressure and accelerated heart rate had something to do with him. I want to know if there's any dispute between them, or if Kyle is the key to wake up Sansa." Julie was thinking.

Kieran suddenly stretched his hand out, lightly grabbing Julie's shoulder, he looked deeply into her pale, frozen face, "I'll do everything I can to save Sansa."

She trusted him.

The distance between the two was very close, she kept looking up at his face. Snowflakes gently fell between them.

After a moment, she finally took a step back and said, "I should stick to wearing heels in the future, that way I can ease my chronic neck pain."

"I guess it can also ease my chronic lumbar disc herniation." he said.

Julie laughed, indeed, he was bending over when he grabbed her shoulder.

She said seriously, "If I knew you'd grow this tall, I wouldn't have chased after you!"

"If I knew you wouldn't chase me anymore, I definitely wouldn't have grown this tall."

"You're always right." As soon as Julie finished speaking, she was suddenly bumped into by someone.

Julie accidentally crashed into Kieran's chest.

This wouldn't have been an issue, but Julie happened to be holding an ice cream cone in her hand. As a result, the ice cream got squashed between the two of them, getting all over their clothes.

The white cream, like a blooming white flower, was particularly noticeable on his black coat.

"Damn, this coat must've cost a fortune, right?" Seeing the courier who hit her and then rushed away, Julie pulled at his coat, said with a heartache.

Kieran looked at the anxious and distressed little woman, teased her, "Hmm, it's worth ten of you."
