"Darling, my bad. You are the smartest and the best man skilled in helping with wearing bras in the world." Julie said.
"You got it wrong!" Kieran said.
"You have the nicest pecs." Julie continued.
"You got it wrong again!" Kieran's face was getting darker and darker.
Julie recalled the groveling words she had said that night. Although she couldn't remember her exact feelings at the time, everything was recorded clearly in the video.
Julie remembered crying and saying, "Kieran, I am yours. I'm gonna have your babies, and loads of them. Please, I beg you, let me go. I promise, no more being stubborn or running away. I'll cooperate fully with you in trying new positions."
Julie never thought she could be so eloquent. But now, she'd rather die to repeat those words, especially when she was sober.
She didn't think before she spoke, so she dared not show the video to Kieran. Julie hooked her arms around Kieran's neck, tilted her head back, and kissed him on the lips.
Mrs. Hernandez, so adorable, was taking the initiative to kiss him!
Kieran's dark eyes became even more profound. He opened his arms and picked up the proactive Julie. Her legs wrapped around his waist, clinging tightly to him.
Julie, fresh from the shower, smelled of sweet body wash, and it was irresistible. He let Julie kiss him randomly on the lips and his face. He knew Julie was trying to please him. Still, Kieran didn't actively respond. Instead, he carried Julie to the soft bed and carefully laid her down on the blanket.
Julie's hands were hooked around his neck, and her legs were wrapped around his waist, like a clingy child. He reached out for the camera next to her, but she clung tighter. After giving Julie a reassuring smile, he picked up the camera and put it on the bedside table without turning it on.
Julie sat up, looking puzzled at Kieran's actions at this moment. She didn't expect his next move after putting down the camera would be to turn around and pin her down.
They fell into the soft quilt together, and their lips met in a fierce kiss. In an instant, Julie didn't have time to dodge. Kieran's kiss was enchanting, making her unable to breathe or think.
Like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, the intense love finally swept away all her rationality.
...
Julie had set the alarm, and she was planning to get up early the next morning to make breakfast for Kieran and Ivan. However, when she woke up, it was already half past seven. Kieran was not by her side.
She quickly got up, washed up, and hurried downstairs. But she found Kieran was already in the kitchen. Ivan had had breakfast and was about to leave. Noah was holding Ivan's backpack. Ivan was about to grab his backpack, but when he saw Julie in the stairwell, he ran over happily, took her hand, and kissed her on the back of the hand.
Kieran came out of the kitchen, holding a cup of hot milk, handed it to Julie. Then he said to Ivan, "A real gentleman would kiss his own fingers, you know?"
"You're so stingy. I don't have a wife now, so I kiss your wife's hand. When Julien marries me, I can lend you my wife's hand, you cheapskate!" Ivan took the backpack from Noah and ran away quickly.
Seeing Kieran's expression, Ivan knew that if he didn't run now, he might get a beating.
Julie and Kieran watched the clever but troublesome Ivan, feeling helpless and amused. "Did you turn off my alarm?" Julie asked Kieran, taking a sip of the milk.
Kieran leaned down and kissed her lips, and asked, "Are you going to the restaurant today?"
Julie nodded, "Daphne said she would come to the restaurant today to discuss her situation with Mr. Lionel in detail."
Yesterday, Kieran had mentioned Sansa's situation on the phone. Julie turned to Kieran and asked, "Is Sansa being transferred today?"
"Yes, Harding will take care of it." He said, "I'll pick you up after work, and then we'll go to the hospital."
Julie nodded. She got into Kieran's car but couldn't help and say, "But I'm a little worried. I don't really trust Professor Fred."
"Dr. Brice will accompany Sansa to the Tranquil Care Hospital. Tonight, we'll invite Dr. Brice and Harding to dinner." Kieran said. He hadn't had a chance to tell Julie that Dr. Brice would accompany Sansa to the hospital, so Julie was surprised to hear it. But afterwarda, she felt very reassured. She knew she owed Dr. Brice a lot over the years.
Looking at Julie in the passenger seat who were lost in thought, Kieran didn't need to look closely to know what she was thinking.
Suddenly, Kieran turned to Julie and said, "Why don't we introduce a girlfriend to Dr. Brice?"
"What?" Julie snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Kieran in surprise, "A girlfriend?"
Kieran nodded, "Yeah, Dr. Brice doesn't have a girlfriend, right?"
What surprised Julie was that she didn't expect Kieran to care so much about Dr. Brice's personal life.
She suddenly laughed and turned to look at him curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of introducing a girlfriend to Dr. Brice?"
"Dr. Brice is a good man. Although he can't find a woman as good as you, a slightly inferior girlfriend should be enough." Keiran said. Mr. Hernandez not only thought highly of himself, but he also made her arrogant.
Julie was a little curious, "So what kind of girlfriend do you think we should introduce to Dr. Brice?"
