    When Kieran said to Julie with deep affection, “I believe in you,” Julie felt a pang in her heart.


    Adeline gave Julie and Kieran a puzzled look as if questioning what was going on between them.


    Shifting the topic, Kieran said to Julie, “I was expecting you to discusspensation with me at lunch


    today, but you didn’t show up…


    “I didn’t stand you up. I never agreed to meet with you,” Julie cut in, rifying her position.


    Adeline nodded, realizing that Kieran had scheduled the meeting with Julie to discusspensation.


    The restaurant was close to Simpo Co, so it didn’t seem odd for Kieran to be dining there. But Adeline


    was suspicious. Was a car identpensation really something that required Kieran to show up in


    person?


    “The car is mine, Mr. Hernandez. If you want to discusspensation, talk to me,” Adeline interjected,


    grinning at Kieran.


    But he barely nced at Adeline before asking, “Were you the one driving?”


    “I wasn’t.” Adeline shook her head, then excitedly said to Kieran, “But I can take full responsibility. Give


    me your number, and about the rest…


    “Julie,” Kieran suddenly called out Julie’s name, his voice clear and maic.


    Julie, who thought she was off the hook and was drinking water, choked when Kieranpletely


    ignored Adeline across the table and called her name.


    Startled, she choked Kieran patted her back. “Still as clumsy as ever, huh?”


    Such an affectionate tone….


    Adeline looked at Kieran and Julie, “You two…”


    Before Kieran could open his mouth to answer, Julie beat him to it, “I’m his ex–wife. We’re no longer


    involved.”


    Julie knew it was better to clearly define their rtionship than to let Kieran be vague about it.


    Atst, Adeline understood. “So not all the rumors were false.”


    She picked up her expensive Hermès handbag, a devilish smile ying across her lips as she looked


    at Julie. “Ms. Abraham, since this is your mess, you should take care of the repair costs yourself.”


    Adeline’s change of attitude was swift, but she had a point.


    Once the haughty Adeline turned and left, Julie moved her chair closer to Kieran, looking at him.


    After a pause, she finally said, “I’m broke”


    The fact that Julie could say this with such confidence didn’t surprise Kieran. He propped his chin on


    his hand, thought for a moment, then looked up at Julie seriously. “Then you can pay with your body.”


    Julie looked up, meeting Kieran’s gaze. He must’ve really despised her for saying such a horrible thing.


    Julie was silent for a few seconds, then slowly pulled out her phone and dialed Daphne. “Hey, do you


    know any insurance agents? I mean ones that handle ident insurance.”


    “You want to buy ident insurance?” Daphne’s voice came over the phone.


    Julie gave Kieran a cold stare, then told Daphne, “Yes, ident insurance. Put Kieran’s name as the


    beneficiary. I n tomit suicide and leave all my insurance money to him so that he can take care


    of himself in the future.”


    Kieran was speechless.
