After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271

“I heard about it from a friend at the farm today, Julian said. “Thought you mig be interested, so I asked a few more questions.”

Which friend of yours just happens to know about this? Louisa asked skeptical And knows it so clearly?

Julian gave her a wry smile. “Ms. Forbes, how long have you known me? Is it so ange that I have friends you haven’t met?

Louisa was speechless, her face burning red. That wasn’t what she meant. She ju thought this all seemed too coincidental.

This friend of mine is actually the owner of the farm we visited today, Julian clained. He happens to be Mark’s uncle, which is why he knows the details

so well.”

Louisa finally understood. No wonder Becky had been so nervous since they’d enred the farm. So that was why.

“Mark’s uncle knows what you’re working on,” Julian continued. He’d like to meet you. Would you be interested?”

Louisa couldn’t find her words. She wasn’t stupid. Julian appearing in this middle of nowhere place, and just happening to connect with Mark’s uncle? What

were the odds of such a coincidence?

Surely he had orchestrated everything behind the scenes. His trip to Virella lighands must have been for this purpose all along. He hadn’t told her

beforehand because he didn’t want her to feel pressured.

Why was he being so good to her? She was on the verge of tears.

“Why so quiet? You don’t want to meet him? Julian asked.

Louise quickly nodded. ‘I do, I do want to meet him.”

Julian chuckled softly. “Ms. Forbes, what’s going on with you tonight? You’ve bee acting so adorably flustered.”

Louisa fell silent again. She wanted to tell him not to be so kind to her. She wouldn’t be able to control herself. But she didn’t dare say it. She didn’t know

how he would respond if she broke that fragile barrier between them. Even worse she didn’t know what she would do after

Through her confusion, she heard Julian’s voice again: “Alright, you should head ck to your room. Otherwise, I’m afraid you might not be able to leave.

“What do you mean?‘ she asked.

Because, technically speaking, I didn’t lose tonights bet. I expect we’ll have anger visitor soon.”

Lovisa startled, suddenly understanding as she glanced at the champagne bottle you mean that bottle was from George?

“Besides him, I can’t think of anyone who would send me wine in the middle of night

‘Maybe it was Ms. Foster, Louise suggested she hasn’t given up on you and waged to share that bottle for a romantic evening

“You’re still thinking about Ms. Foster! Juhan raised on eyebrow Does the occup your thoughts that much?

No es much as George orcupies yours, she shot back. It’s the middle of the night, and you’re the one thinking about him

Julian fell silent.

Meanwhile, in George’s room,

“Mr. Capulet, Mr. Tudor accepted the wine,‘ reported the server who had delivere it. “There was a lady with him–the one from the photo you showed me.”

George’s face instantly darkened with rage. He had suspected Louisa was with Juan and sent the wine to test his theory. He never imagined Louisa would still be in Julian’s room this late. The thought of them together, making love… George was murderous.

Without another word, he stormed toward Julian’s room, fury radiating from him He rang the doorbell repeatedly, but no one answered.

“Louisa, come out!” George kicked the door in frustration. “Too cowardly to face what you’ve done?”

The door remained closed. Because at that moment, neither Louisa nor Julian was inside.

In the hotel garden, under a long corridor, Louisa and Julian were strolling leisurely.

“Teddy just took this,” Julian said, showing her his phone screen. “See? I wasn’t lng.”

Louisa stared incredulously at the photo of George kicking the door with a thunderous expression. She was speechless. What was wrong with George’s brain? Forget that he had promised not to bother her anymore–they were divorced. Divorced! Did he not understand what that meant?

And shouldn’t George be at the hospital right now? Vivian was still hospitalized. Did he not care about Vivian’s well–being at all?

Louisa blew her bangs away from her forehead in frustration.

Seeing her irritation, Julian let out a soft laugh. Seems you really do despise hin

“Yes, I despise him. And I despise this kind of male behavior even more.”

“What behavior?” he asked.

“Having a wife at home but fooling around outside. Fine, you did what you did, a least own up to it! Instead, they act without taking responsibility, then get bored with their flings and crawl back to their ex–wives.”

‘So you’re categorizing all men based on one failed marriage?” His tone was cool Clearly, someone wasn’t pleased.

Louisa suddenly realized what she’d said and hurriedly clarified: “I was talking about George, not about you.”

Julian gave her a slight smile. ‘So you believe I’m not that type of man?‘

“Probably, I guess?”

n

‘What?‘ He was dissatisfied with her answer.

Louisa quickly amended, “No! You’re not!‘

There, happy now?

‘Not convincing at all, he murmured

Louisa remained silent. If it wasn’t convincing, what more could she say? She heved Julian was different from George. But in the river of time, how long would that trust last?

Julian seemed to see through her thoughts and doubts. Instead of arguing, he tied his head toward a small flower blooming in the corner. Look at that Hower Doesn’t it seem pitiful?

Louisa followed his gare. It was a delicate purple jasmine, tiny and solitary, blowing among the weeds. A thunderstorm had passed earlier that evening, leaving water pooled on the roof. Droplets fell from the eaves, one after anotheranding directly on the flowers head, weighing it down so it couldn’t lift

It did tool pitiful.

Without thinking, Louisa crouched down and extended her hand above the flowe She shielded it from the assault of water droplets. The drops landed on

the back of her hand instead.

A moment later, another hand reached out, clasping hers, protecting her from the rain.

Louisa fell warmth spread through her palm as she looked up, falling into Julian deep gaze. Her heart inexplicably raced. Instinctively, she tried to pull away, to retrieve her hand.

Julian didn’t let go. He held her hand firmly, his lips brushing against her ear, how, resonant voice penetrating her senses: ‘You’re going to abandon it

now?”
