After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361

Louisa was genuinely shocked. She looked at her father. He won you over in just one night? I’m really curious what exactly did he do to you?”

Brian found himself at a loss for words.

100%

Could he tell her that his understanding of Julian wasn’t based solely on last night? Though Brian had never met Julian’s younger siblings, he had met and gotten to know Julian and his two older brothers. That’s why he trusted Julian’s character.

Brian didn’t elaborate further. He simply said, ‘I’m not saying you have to be with Julian. Actually, I have no objection to whoever you’re with, as long as they’re a good person. Remember – beauty fades, passion cools, and all relationships eventually come down to the reality of everyday life. So don’t focus on how well someone treats you right now. You should love someone who is fundamentally good.”

Louisa’s eyes stung at her father’s heartfelt words. After all these years, she’d gotten so used to sharing only good news and hiding troubles. It had been ages since she and her father had talked like this. She hadn’t realized her father understood human nature so deeply.

Louisa stayed quiet for a long while, until the car entered the train station parking lot. Only after she’d parked did she turn to Brian. “Then does Dad think it’s worth making the same choice again when you already know how it’ll end?”

Brian: “How could you already know the ending?”

Louisa: “What do you mean?”

Why did her father’s words sound so cryptic?

Brian: “It’s like when you insisted on staying with George – did you think it would end in divorce?”

Louisa fell silent. She really hadn’t. Back then, she’d naively believed they’d be happy forever.

Brian: “So, applying your experience with George to Julian – do you think that’s fair to him?”

Louisa remained silent.

Brian gently stroked her hair. “Louisa, life has only one guaranteed ending – death. Everyone knows life is just one grand farewell ceremony. Besides death, no outcome is predictable. If you don’t give it your all and try, you’ll never know what the result could be. So don’t overthink it. Your mom and dad fought with everything they had to keep you alive in this world because of their love for you. All of us – we all hope you can be simple and happy. We hope you’ll be loved, and that you’ll be brave enough to love. You’re our most precious treasure. You deserve all the beauty this world has to offer. Understand?”

Louisa smiled. “You’re way too good at praising your own daughter.”

Her father had told her similar things countless times growing up. Every time, it moved her. It was precisely this love from her dad that made her feel like no matter how hard life got, no matter whether she had her mother’s love, she was still a happy little girl.

But this time, Louisa keenly picked up on key phrases in her father’s words.

Mom and Dad.

All of us.

These terms struck her as off somehow.

She probed carefully: “Dad, you rarely talk about my mom. I…”

Chapter 361

“It’s time to board.”

Brian acted as if he hadn’t heard her, hastity checking his phone. Sweetheart, I need to go. Don’t see me in.‘

Louisa had to swallow her unasked questions and help with his luggage.

Of course, she wasn’t just going to leave him at the parking lot. She carried some of his bags and walked him to the security checkpoint.

Brian waved. “Head back. Drive safe.

Louisa nodded.

She watched until her father’s figure disappeared completely before turning to leave.

His earlier words kept echoing in her ears: “Your mom and dad fought with everything they had to keep you alive in this world because of their love for you… You’re our most precious treasure…

The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Coming from her dad, shouldn’t it have been phrased as ‘your mother and I? Why would he say your mom and dad‘ like that?

And those two mentions of all of us…

Who did all of us refer to? Was there someone besides her mom and dad?

More and more questions piled up, making her mind spin.

So distracted was she that when crossing the plaza, she didn’t notice the steps and missed one.

She saw someone walking toward her, closest to her. Before she could make out who it was, she saw him reach out his hand. Instinctively, she grabbed his

arm.

The next second, she tumbled into his embrace.

His arms were warm and strong, wrapped around her waist, accompanied by that clean, crisp scent.

Too familiar.

She looked up.

The moment she met his eyes, hers lit up like stars: Julian, what are you doing here?”

Julian scoffed, gazing down at her. ‘If I hadn’t come, how would I know Ms. Forbes has apparently forgotten how to walk?”

As he spoke, his gaze dropped to her legs. ‘Did you twist your ankle?”

Louisa answered honestly: “No.”

Julian nodded, then immediately released her and turned toward the parking lot

The move left Louisa stunned.

He’d just gotten here – why was he turning around and leaving? Wait… had he cope to pick her up?
