Chapter 228 Help Poppy
Kane replied without thinking, "Of course, he is my son..." After he blurted out, Kane realized that he made a mistake. He then looked up at Juliana, who was rather touched by Kane's words. "Kane, thank you for being so tolerant of me. You know that the baby is..." It seemed that a thorn in Juliana's side was removed by Kane. She was not only touched but also grateful.
"Don't mention it," Kane interrupted Juliana, not wanting her to bring up something that upset her. Then he said, "I promised I would treat him as my own, and I will. He is your son, so how could I not love him?" As he said this, Kane felt guilty again. The guilt had overwhelmed her.
"Kane..." Juliana held Kane's hand affectionately.
When the two were looking at each other, Kane's cell phone rang suddenly. The baby in his arms was woken up by the noise and wriggled with displeasure. Kane saw this, returned the baby to Juliana, and took out his cell phone impatiently to see who was calling at this time.
Looking at the caller ID, Kane looked bad.
Juliana looked at him and said, "It's Poppy, right?"
Only Poppy could make Kane have such an expression on his face.
He had muted the phone, but the screen was lit up repeatedly because Poppy kept dialing him. Kane looked at Juliana, somewhat troubled.
Juliana smiled and said, "You pick it up."
Kane then picked up the phone and said impatiently, "What do you want from me?"
"Kane ... where are you ...?" Poppy's voice was choked.
Having loved her for more than ten years, Kane noticed something wrong with Poppy and asked her anxiously, "Poppy, don't cry. Tell me what happened."
Juliana heard Kane's anxious tone and frowned slightly, staring at him after pacifying the baby.
"Kane, I'm so scared now ..." Poppy said with a choked voice, "Jacob is a jerk!"
"What's going on?" Kane got even more anxious.
"My transfer of assets was discovered by him..." Poppy sobbed before saying, "He said he would prosecute me for theft of company assets and put me into jail if I don't agree to divorce him ..."
"I told you it was risky," Kane said in annoyance when he heard that Poppy had gotten into trouble for transferring the company's assets.
"You never listen to me."
"I acted so stealthily, and I never expected he would find out ..." Poppy said anxiously, "Kane, come back and help me think of a way, or I will be divorced and end up having nothing." Poppy's voice sounded like she was afraid she would lose everything.
"I see. I'll go back and talk to you about this, and I'll see you tomorrow at noon." Kane did not think that much and agreed.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. You come back soon." Poppy sounded like she recovered some composure when she heard Kane say that.
"Well, don't worry too much. I'm with you," Kane said casually, only to find Juliana staring at him with knitted eyebrows after hanging up the phone.
Realizing he had shown too much concern for Poppy, Kane couldn't explain too much in such an urgent situation. He just told Juliana that Poppy was in trouble and he had to rush back to Athegate. "Julia, something has happened to Poppy and I have to go back."
"I know," Juliana finally spoke in an indifferent tone. "You go back."
Feeling Juliana's jealousy, he hurriedly explained, "Julia, I have no feelings for Poppy now. She has a falling out with Jacob and I'm the only one who can help her now."
"I've told you I know it," Juliana said impatiently, feeling that Kane was trying to cover up the truth. He kept talking about Poppy. Didn't he know how upset she was?
"Julia, don't be angry..." Sensing Juliana's anger, Kane reached out and grabbed her hand, "I hope you can understand me. I can't just sit back and do nothing."
"I didn't forbid you to do it, but you just kept talking about Poppy. Do you still love her? Or did you just give up on her because you can't get her?" Jealous, Juliana said something that hurt Kane. "Julia!" Kane was angry. "I put aside everything and came to Lepus for you. Isn't it enough to show my love for you?"Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Who knows," Juliana said, looking away.
"Julia..." Seeing the sad look in Juliana's eyes, Kane softened. He grabbed Juliana's hand and said, "Don't overthink it. I have no feelings for her now. I'll go back and help her one last time. After that, I won't have any ties with her!"
"Really?" Juliana, who disliked Poppy, was glad to hear Kane make such a promise to her.
"Yes!" Kane said firmly. He and Juliana had a child, and it was time for him to cut ties with Poppy.
"Okay, I believe you. If I find out that you guys are still in contact, I will not forgive you!" Juliana said decisively.
"Okay, I will keep my word!" After getting Juliana's consent, Kane was relieved and fondled the baby again, but he was actually thinking about how to solve the problem for Poppy.
Juliana hid her displeasure and chose to trust Kane.
The next day, Kane returned to Athegate. He contacted Poppy as soon as he arrived, and for the first time, Poppy couldn't wait to come to him.
When she arrived at the meeting place, Poppy looked around and Kane asked her, "What are you worried about?"
"I suspect Jacob has someone trail after me," Poppy said nervously. "What about you? Did anyone follow you?"
"Poppy, is it necessary for Jacob to have someone follow you after he found out that you have transferred assets?" Kane said resignedly.
Poppy paused, straightened her back, and gave a wry smile, "You are right ..."
"Tell me everything that happened and I'll see what I can do to help you." Sitting down, Kane began to ask Jacob about how Jacob found it out.
