Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 27

Edda said she was gonna set Julie up on a blind date, and she wasn’t just blowing smoke Bright and early the next day, Edda took Julie to the mall. After a rigorous selection process by Edda, Julie was dolled up in new clothes and makeup before Edda drove her to the arranged hotel.

“Julie, I’m gonna hang back. You go ahead and give it a whirl. If you really aren’t feeling it, let me know I won’t force you”

Julie chuckled and nodded. “Thanks, Edda”

In the end, she mustered up the courage to step into the Sunset Serenity Hotel.

She was a bit early, so she took a seat at the designated spot. She ordered some lime juice and began quietly sipping it.

Dressed in a light green dress that showed off her beautiful shoulders, she looked so elegant while holding her drink that she caught the attention of those around her.

Daphne often said that Julie’s beauty was like a hidden gem. Once it was revealed, it had a unique charm. Today was no different, even with light makeup, her delicate features oozed irresistible beauty. Especially her lips. They were painted with lipstick that made them glow like a burning flame under the bright lights, lighting up the entire room.

A man was about to come over and chat her up, but he saw Julie look up towards the entrance.

A waiter led a man in a suit towards her and seated him across from her.

When she saw the man, Julie wasn’t surprised. He was about 1.7 meters tall, just like Edda had said. He wasn’t exactly a hunk, but he wasn’t ugly either, and his manners were decent.

The man seemed taken aback by Julie’s beauty. His eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically reached out his hand to introduce himself, “Hello, Ms. Abraham. I’m Jeremy Ford. I’m here for a blind date, hoping to find a wife. I’m quite pleased with you, and if you have no objections, we can set a date to register our marriage at city hall.”

Julie was stunned as she looked at Jeremy’s outstretched hand..

Edda didn’t tell her that Jeremy was this forward.

After noticing Julie’s silence, Jeremy didn’t seem embarrassed. He withdrew his hand and gave a sincere smile, “By the way, do you have any material needs for your future partner? I co–own a tech company with a friend. I have a car, a house, and lots of savings. If you have any other requests, feel free to voice them. If I can meet them, I will.”

His straightforward nature left Julie quiet for a moment. She picked up her lime juice and took a small sip. Sitting elegantly, her smile was gentle as she looked at the man and said, “I want a son. Can you give me that?”

Jeremy was obviously shocked by Julie’s request and didn’t respond for a while.

Julie chuckled, looking at the stunned man, and added, “I must have a son. Can you do that?”

Jeremy finally snapped back to reality, his face lighting up with an over–the–top smile, “Just one son? Once we’re married, you can have as many sons as you want. Honestly, I didn’t expect you, Ms. Abraham, to be so straightforward. In that case, let’s cut to the chase.”

With that, Jeremy suddenly grabbed Julie’s hand that was holding the glass, placing it in his own. With a slightly unsettling smile on his face, he looked at Julie, “Ms. Abraham, if you’re willing, we can get

married right away, but before we do, we need to sign a prenuptial agreement. You understand, right? Once the agreement is signed, if you want a son, I’ll definitely give you one!”

Julie couldn’t help but burst out laughing. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Before she could respond, she heard a familiar deep voice from behind, “Does Mr. Ford have some secret to choosing whether it’s a boy o or a girl?”

After hearing the voice, Julie saw Jeremy suddenly stand up, his eyes filled with excitement and a hint of surprise. He exclaimed towards the direction behind Julie, “Mr. Hernandez?”
