Chapter 10

Julie admitted, she only said that to get him angry. After three years of marriage, she knew too well of his wild side on bed.

She figured he’d get mad because no man can stomach having his sexual prowess be questioned. But Kieran just coolly stood up and started slowly walking towards her.

Julie was backing up, backing up, until finally her back was against the cold door. That was when he stopped. He’s leaning against the door, looking down at her soft skin.

With him trapping her in his arms, Julie’s got nowhere to run. She just turned her face away, pretending not to see. But his scent, faint but familiar, was something Julie’s known since she was a kid.

He was pinching her skinny chin, forcing her to look at him. The pinch was hurt, a proof that he’s not showing her any mercy.

Julie was forced to stare back at him with a determined look. Kieran slowly leaned down, getting closer to her, their noses almost touching, close enough that you couldn’t slide a piece of paper between them. His cold lips parted slightly, “Didn’t know you still remember my stamina on bed.” novelbin

His breath was warm on her nose. Julie pretty much knew what he’s about to say next, so she quickly retorted, “I’ve forgotten. I’ve got amnesia and can’t remember a thing, so don’t bother trying to jog my memory.”

Kieran was looking down at her, smirking. When he smiled, his eyes seemed deep and full of charm, the corners of his eyes curving up, very attractive. That’s how Julie fell for him in the first half of her life.

Kieran was not surprised by Julie’s rejection. He emotionlessly let her go, which was felt a bit off to Julie.

She looked up, surprised, at the guy who was keeping his distance. Julie had no clue what her face looks like right now. She saw him turn around, took out a stack of cash from his wallet on the bedside table, and handed it to her: “You can leave now.”

Was he pitying her? Or mocking her? Julie couldn’t tell it anymore. Kieran’s cold voice echoed in the room, “Don’t forget you’re a top law student. Next time when we meet, don’t let yourself be so pathetic.”

Should she throw the money in his face and say something like, “Just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you are cocky. You think you can trample over people’s dignity just because you’re rich?” But the truth was, being rich was something. At least it could save Sansa’s life.

Quietly and calmly, she held the stack of cash, neatly tucked it into her bag, and then dumped out all the condoms from her bag, a smile on her face, “Here’s your purchase, thanks for the generous tip,

goodbye.”

With that, Julie made a deep bow to Kieran.

Goodbye?

Kieran got a cunning smile on his face as he watched her leaving, “Find a more dignified job! If you can’t, I can help you out. A pathetic woman won’t get a man’s sympathy, or catch his eyes. It just makes me think you’ve had hard time since you left me.”

Julie got a sarcastic smile on her face. From what he was saying, it sounded like she had some good time when she was with him. Wasn’t her life always full of difficulties and challenges?

Julie stopped and turned around, with a big smile on her face, like she’s wearing a perfect mask, “Actually, I’m doing great. I don’t need to deal with the pressure of being a rich man’s wife, learning traditional moral codes, or getting ready to fend off those trying to ruin my marriage.”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for his reaction, just turned around and walked away. When she got to the door, she suddenly stopped, like she had remembered something. She smiled at the guy behind her, “Oh, right! Mr. Hernandez, I might look a bit pathetic, but it didn’t affect your dignity, so you don’t need to worry.”
