Julian turned back, fixing her with an ley stare. “What I do is none of your business. You’d do well to mind your own affairs.”
Teresa’s eyes reddened with anger as Julian apologized once more to his parents and left.
William and Adeline, being reasonable people, naturally wouldn’t force him to stay.
“Stop crying.” William told Teresa, who was choking back tears. “Julian has never liked people meddling in his affairs. Just be more careful next time.”
Teresa finally wiped away her tears. “I understand, Dad William. You two enjoy your meal I’m leaving too.”
The previously peaceful living g room suddenly held only William and Adeline, staring at each other.
“Why did you have to speak to her so harshly? Adeline sighed.
“Can’t you tell our son doesn’t like her?” William replied.
Adeline considered this. “You’re right. They’ve been together for years–if Julian were going to develop feelings for her, it would have happened by now.”
Then she remembered the name Teresa had mentioned, and her eyes brightened. “This Louisa–that sounds like a girl’s name. Do you think our son
might…?”
William cut her off, “Must you get excited every time you hear a girl’s name?”
“How can I not be excited? Adeline countered. “Look at our son–he’s cold and distant with everyone. He doesn’t even want girls to look at him. There are
even rumors that he likes men.”

“Isn’t that normal?” William didn’t understand the implication
Adeline blushed deeply. “You don’t know–that Getty boy likes men. I’ve heard he prefers handsome, athletic types, and… and he’s… the one on… top.”
“You can’t be serious?” William was shocked, immediately picturing his son’s handsome face. H
His life and fork clattered onto the table.

William was thoroughly disturbed, his expression horrified. “Please, stop talking about this. My heart isn’t strong enough for this conversation.
“I just don’t understand, Adeline sighed heavily. “With so many beautiful women in the world, how could our Julian be interested in the Getty boy? If only
the Getty family’s daughter were still around.”
William suddenly looked at her.
“After searching for so long, you still haven’t found any trace of that child?” Adeline met his gaze.
William sighed. “I’ve truly failed Oliver. He died so tragically, and I couldn’t even protect his beloved daughter. With no news all these years, I don’t even
know if that child is still alive.”
“Let’s not dwell on this, Adeline said. “Teresa just mentioned someone–Louisa, right? Why don’t you look into her, see if she has any connection to our
Julian?
“If there is something there, I don’t even care about her family background anymore. As long as she’s female, bring her home as our daughter–in–law.”
William considered this. I’ll see what I can do!”
Meanwhile, at Cozy Community, Louisa had placed the dried bundle in a large glass bowl filled with water.
She leaned over the table, occasionally poking at it. “How strange–you look so ugly, yet you have such a beautiful name. And you’re just a bunch of dried
grass–what do you have to do with roses?”
Just then, footsteps sounded from outside. She paused, realizing there were only two units on this floor–hers and Julian’s,

vy? But she couldn’t think of anything she’d done to upset him.
Could it be because of Vivian’s scene that afternoon? Hut she hul resolved that situation, hadn’t she?
Julian didn’t engage with her further, continuing toward his own home. Louis, getting everything else, immediately followed him.
Julian finally turned to look at her, his attitude still cold. “Your husband isn’t home?”
Louisa was confused–what did George have to do with anything? Still, she answered honestly. “He’s away on business. And he’s not my husband”

“Really?” Julian’s already expressionless face grew even colder. “Then why are you following me?”
“I wanted to discuss something with you,” Louisa said, “Do you have time?”
“What is it?”
“It’s not convenient to talk here,” she said, even though they were the only two people on the floor. “Why don’t we talk at your place?”
Julian raised an eyebrow, looking down at her. “Do you think it’s appropriate for a married woman to enter a single
