Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 102

Kieran mentioned that Daniel was a stylist. After Kieran took Julie into the mall, he handed her over to Daniel. It was Julie’s first time meeting Daniel, a hunk with dark eyes. His good looks were breathtaking, the kind that made women feel inadequate

Julie was a bit confused. Daniel picked out a pink dress for her. He handed the dress to Julie and said, “Babe, go try this on The fitting room is just around the corner to your right” He glanced at his watch as he spoke, “Sweetie, Im giving you three minutes. If you’re not done by then, I’ll come in and help Off you go, darling” And with that, Jube was ushered into the changing room by Daniels assistant

Looking at Daniel, Julie knew he was a man of his word. If he said he would come in after three minutes to help her dress, he definitely would. Two assistants were standing outside the dressing room. Even though Julie didn’t understand Daniel’s intentions, she had no choice but to change.

Outside, Kieran took the suit handed over by Karl and walked expressionlessly towards the men’s fitting room. Daniel followed without hesitation. After glancing in the direction of the women’s changing room, he smirked. Is that your ex-wife?”

“How did you know?” Kieran paused, asking.

Daniel replied nonchalantly. Who else would dare to express dissatisfaction with you, besides your ex?”

“You” Kieran glared at Daniel..

Daniel retorted seriously, “I’m only dissatisfied because I love you too much.”

“So my ex-wife was also dissatisfied because she loved me too much?” Kieran seemed quite pleased with this answer.

Daniel said to Kieran, “Shameless.

“You plan on watching me change? Kieran asked.

Daniel replied confidently, “I plan on appreciating you undress. Your ex is not as pretty as Bertha.”

Kieran said, “Superficial.”

Finding no response, Daniel gave up on the topic and turned to leave.

‘Babe, are you done? I’m coming in Daniel walked to the door of the women’s changing room and shouted.

Julie picked up the hem of her dress and walked out of the changing room. The pink one shoulder dress clung to Julie’s curvaceous figure, revealing her round shoulders and beautiful collarbones. The body-hugging design perfectly showcased Julie’s figure. Her long hair casually fell on her shoulders.

Julie wasn’t very used to this style of dress, so she moved her messy hair to one side of her bare shoulders before looking at the slightly dumbfounded Daniel and said, “I think I’ll change back…

‘Don’t move!” Daniel suddenly shouted at Julie. Julie instinctively stopped in her tracks.

Daniel placed a pair of nude high heels in front of Julie, “Here, put these on

Tm here to see Kieran.” Julie felt like a doll. Whatever Daniel told her to do, she had to do. Surrounded by Daniel and his numerous assistants, Julie had no power to refuse. She had no idea what Kieran’s intention was for bringing her here

Daniel completely ignored Julie’s confusion “Babe, don’t be mad. Your man is still waiting outside! Be good, put on the shoes first

“Why do you want me to wear such clothes and shoes? Julie held onto her dress and asked Daniel.

Daniel finally realized that this girl had been duped into coming

He immediately grinned “Buing the stuff over!”

Julie watched as an assistant walked over with a large makeup box from behind Daniel She felt an immediate resistance. She took a few steps back and looked at Daniel “Don’t come any closer! I’ll scream if you do

“Scream for who? I haven’t even touched you. Why are you so worked up?” Daniel sat on the stool, confidently saying, “Which current superstar hasn’t had their makeup done by me? When Mr. Watson won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, I did his makeup! The clothes Lionel wore at Paris Fashion Week were designed by me! Aren’t you reassured yet?”

Julie couldn’t doubt Daniel’s rich experience, but she still had no idea why Kieran had her so dolled up. Seeing that Daniel was a tough nut to crack, Julie ultimately decided to cooperate with him. She sat on the makeup stool, allowing him to do as he pleased. “Um… sir…”

“Babe, call me Daniel,”

“Oh Daniel, do you know where Kieran.. where Mr. Hernandez is taking me next? Julie asked gently

Daniel stopped what he was doing, looked at Julie intently, and asked, ‘Do you think I look like Kerry?”

Julie gave Daniel a serious look, then shook her head and honestly said, “No.”

“Exactly I’m not him. How would I know where he’s taking you? Are you dumb?”

Hearing Daniel casually call Kieran by his name, Julie asked, “Daniel, are you close with Mr. Hernandez?”

“Not close, but I know the man you call Mr. Hernandez is your ex-husband.”

Julie was left speechless. She had never heard of Daniel before, so she asked again, “So, you know a lot about him?”

“If you have something to ask, just ask. Stop beating around the bush,” Daniel said.

Julie didn’t hold back and asked Daniel, ‘Do you know his son’s name?’

Daniel looked at Julie in surprise. “What? Kerry has a son?”

Julie Took the lipstick from Daniel’s hand, skillfully applying it to her own lips, then turned back to Daniel with a smile. Seems like you’re not as close with him as you thought”

“You’re pulling my leg, right? Daniel asked Julie, a tad unwilling to admit it.

Julie shrugged. “Yeah, I’m just messing with you.” After saying that, she handed the lipstick back to him and then turned to walk towards the door.

“No way!” Daniel quickly blocked her path. Tell me, does Kerry really have a son? I can tell you a secret in return, how’s that sound?”

“I’m not interested in your secrets. Can you move now, Daniel?”

“What if I say the secret is about you?” Daniel asked.

Julie laughed nonchalantly, seemingly unbothered. “Still not interested.”

“You’re one stubborn woman. Are there lots of women’s clothes, shoes, and bags in Kerry’s company and at Noblewood Retreat? Don’t you want to know who they’re for?”

Sure enough, Daniel’s words made Julie subconsciously stop in her tracks. Yeah, she was the type to say one thing and mean another.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Daniel stepped back in front of Julie, saying, “I met Kerry five years ago. That was when you had just divorced, but I didn’t find out about his ex-wife until later. You know Bertha, right?”

“So, all those clothes belong to Bertha?” Julie asked instinctively. That’s what she had been suspecting. Even though Kieran had denied it, she still had her

doubts.

Daniel shook his head. You’re overthinking it. At first, I thought like you, that Kerry was spoiling his girlfriend with all sorts of clothes every year. I also thought Bertha was his girlfriend. After all, that was the general assumption. But…”

Here, Daniel paused, then continued, “It wasn’t until Bertha came to my store to pick clothes that I realized, those shoes and bags didn’t suit her taste at all. I didn’t dare to bring it up in front of Bertha. It wasn’t until she told me herself that I found out Kerry had an ex-wife. Bertha very honestly told me that she wasn’t his girlfriend, and that he still loved his ex-wife a lot. She assured me that Kerry and his ex- wife would definitely get back together I didn’t understand what she meant, but I knew that all those clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories were all set aside for you. Every year when the seasons changed, he would replace the clothes in the wardrobe with the latest styles. He’s been doing this for the past five years. You’re really lucky to have met a man like Kerry”
