Chapter 76


    Chapter 76


    Dirty water sshed all over Kieran, soaking him from head to toe.


    Even though Kieran had pushed Julie away in the nick of time, she still got sshed with some dirty


    water.


    Julie was stunned, especially seeing Kieran drenched in dirty water


    It was all instinctive, without any thought, when Kieran pushed her away.


    Julie looked up at Kieran in astonishment.


    His dark grey suit and white shirt were now soaked with dirty water.


    Who the hell was so disrespectful to the public environment to dump water from upstairs?


    Julie limped out, looking up at the building in displeasure.


    She wanted to see who was disrespectful but couldn’t see anyone


    Just as Julie got annoyed, a curly–haired woman suddenly rushed out of the stairwell.


    She walked straight towards Julie.


    Without saying a word, she grabbed Julie’s hair and yanked it. “You disgusting woman, trying to steal


    my man, are you tired of living!”


    “Look at yourself. How did you seduce my husband, you shameless woman!” she said, pping Julie


    across the face.


    Julie was so stunned she didn’t know whether to duck or block.


    Just as she saw the woman’s hand about to hit her face, she finally reacted and tried to block it.


    But before she could, a powerful force came from the side.


    Kieran had grabbed the woman’s wrist without her noticing.


    The woman was already agitated and started hitting Julie without thinking someone could intervene.


    She was startled when Kieran grabbed her wrist, and she screamed in pain.


    “Who are you? Let go, ah, it hurts let go!” she yelled at Kieran, but he seemed not to hear her


    Because of the pain, the woman let go of Julie’s hair.


    Looking at the few strands of hair the woman had yanked from Julie’s head, Kieran’s eyes were cold


    and deep.


    Then the woman suddenly yelled, “Hey, people,e and see, this shameless woman seduced my


    husband and brought a man to bully me! Is there justice in this world?”


    Her scream immediately attracted a crowd.


    Julie and Kieran were back to back.


    As the curly–haired woman yelled, everyone started using Julie, the so–called third party, while she


    stood facing the crowd.


    Julie was confused Should she tell them she didn’t know this woman?


    “Do you know her?” Kieran asked Julie.


    Julie hesitated for a moment and then shook her head, “No.”


    “Did you all hear that?” Kieran let go of the woman and gently hugged Julie close, “Are you saying my


    wife seduced your husband? I can’t think of any reason she would do that.”


    Kieran turned around with Julie, leaving the crowd that had just been cursing “homewrecker” in silence.


    The man beside this so–called “homewrecker” looked very outstanding, and the “homewrecker” herself


    was very beautiful. How could she possibly seduce that shrew’s husband? It made no sense!


    Julie never expected Kieran to stand up for her when she was sshed with water, nor did she expect


    him to call her his wife in front of the crowd.


    She knew Kieran was helping her, so she naturally didn’t push him away.


    Just then, a man in a blue t–shirt and flip–flops, with a woman in a white dress carrying shopping bags,


    appeared in front of the crowd. The man loudly said to the woman in the white dress, “Baby, I’ll take


    you here. I’ll definitely get a divorce when I go back: don’t worry”


    “I don’t believe you! I’m going with you”


    The man looked a bit helpless and began coaxing her, “That woman is so fierce. What if she hurts our


    baby? I would regret it.”


    “Patton“” the woman who had sshed Kieran with water suddenly screamed at the man in the blue t–


    shirt.


    The crowd quickly made its way.

    The woman rushed towards Patton, “So this is the third party You heartless man, I take care of your


    mother and sister, and you go out and find a mistress‘ Divorce? Do you want a divorce from me? I tell


    you Patton, don’t even think about it!”


    After saying that, the woman swung a punch at the third party


    The woman immediately hid behind Patton.


    “Honey, don’t get worked up, it’s not what you think.” Patton quickly shielded the third party, grabbing


    his wife


    The other woman emotionally told Patton’s wife, “Ma’am, Patton and I truly love each other. Even his


    mother has agreed to our being together. You can’t have children, so you can’t me me for carrying


    his child! His mother said. Which family would want a barren wife? Be brave and sign the divorce


    agreement! Anyway, Patton will definitely divorce you!”


    Julie frowned slightly. Since when did the third party be so audacious?


    Julie couldn’t help but think of Bertha Stewart.


    She remembered Berthaing to her pregnant


    She knelt before her devoutly and said, “Joyce, I’m pregnant with Mr. Hernandez’s child. I really love


    him. I beg you for the sake of our friendship, let me have the baby I promise once the baby is born, I


    won’t disturb you and Mr. Hernandez. I beg you.”


    Julie couldn’t recall her exact expression at the moment. All she remembered was sitting on the couch,


    watching Bertha kneel before her. After a heavy silence, she finally asked. “So did Kieran agree to have


    you keep the baby?”


    Thinking back, she was soposed, even after learning about her best friend and the man she


    deeply loved, not to mention a baby between them. She was still able to ask that question calmly.


    She probably had given up hope from that moment on.


    Bertha was pregnant, but so what?


    Bertha was beautiful and captivating, and when she cried, she looked like a delicate flower in the rain,


    eliciting pity. Sobbing, she looked at Julie, pleading. “Please, Joyce, let me have the baby! I promise


    once the baby is born, III take them away from you guys. I won’t ever bother you and Mr. Hernandez


    again, I swear”


    “And what are you swearing on?” Julie recalled that she just smirked coldly and said, “At my wedding


    with Kieran, he also swore to me. He promised to love only me, be good only to me, never leave me,


    and spend the rest of his life with me.”


    Julie left Bertha kneeling in the hallway, and she heard she stayed there until Kieran came back and


    helped her up.


    After that, Julie never saw Bertha again until they were in the delivery room.


    Every day, Kieran woulde back, take care of her, and even tell bedtime stories to the baby in her


    belly every night.


    Bertha’s matter was like it never happened. Neither Kieran nor Julie mentioned it.


    During that time, Julie deluded herself into thinking that she was happy and content.


    Until the moment she and Bertha entered the delivery room together.


    Julie didn’t want to remember anymore, nor did she want to watch the farce in front of her.


    She turned around, left Kieran, and went upstairs.


    Kieran hesitated for a moment, then followed Julie


    Julie took out her keys and opened the door, thankful that thendlord only changed the front door’s


    lock.


    Kieran followed Julie into her room, and Julie didn’t stop him.


    After all, Kieran got himself all messed up for her, and she should at least say thank you, even if he


    was a stranger.


    Julie took a new grey checkered towel from the wardrobe and handed it to Kieran, “The bathroom’s


    right behind you.”


    Then, she took out a set of men’s suits for Kieran to change into.


    Kieran wanted to ask about the suit, but when he took it, he realized it was the one he left at Julie’s


    housest time after pretending to be drunk.


    As Kieran took the clothes and went into the bathroom. Julie sat in the living room, listening to the


    running water.


    The doorbell suddenly rang, Julie was surprised that someone would visit at this time.


    She thought it might be thendlord, so she hobbled towards the door.


    As she opened the door, she saw thendlord standing outside.


    “Mr. Adolf, are you here to collect the rent? I’m sorry, I haven’t had a chance to get the money Can I


    give it to youter?” Julie politely asked.


    But thendlord, Adolf, had a lewd smile on his face, “Ms. Abraham, I know your situation. I know life


    isn’t easy for you. My wife is also hard on me. I’m not heartless, you know”


    Julie forced a sm?e, “Thank you, Mr. Adolf.”


    “No need to thank me, Adolf said, suddenly reaching out to touch her hand on the door frame.


    Julie, startled, quickly pulled her hand back. As soon as Julie’s hand left the door frame, Adolf barged


    into her living room.


    “Mr. Adolf, what’s the meaning of this?” Suddenly feeling bad, Julie red at Adolf angrily and turned to


    run.


    But Adolf grabbed her hand and dragged her into the room,ughing obscenely. “Of course I want you.


    If you agree to be my woman, I promise I won’t charge you a penny for rent”
