After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 429

1. do. That

would be fine.

This wasn’t something that violated any principles anyway.

As for the two of them–it had always been a consensual adult game. Come together if compatible, part ways if not. There was really no need to take it too

seriously.

After all, if she didn’t care, didn’t think too deeply about it, it would be fine.

People feel pain because they have too many desires.

If she didn’t have so many demands, so many desires, then in the future… she wouldn’t be hurt emotionally or physically.

As she was thinking this, Julian’s low, somewhat bitter voice reached her ears, “I’m sorry. Last night was my fault.”

Louisa smiled. “It’s fine. You don’t need to feel guilty. Didn’t I make it back safely? I can handle things myself.

A relaxed tone.

Julian’s expression turned bitter. “When I realized Mrs. Boleyn was a member of the JM Society, I immediately rushed to the party. At that time, I didn’t know my mother had gone too. I went to pick you up.”

Louisa nodded, looking at the clouds outside the window with some boredom. “…I believe you.”

As to whether she truly believed it–who knew?

Julian continued, “I heard my phone notification. I didn’t know it was from you. At the same time, my mom called me, so I answered her call first.”

Louisa kept nodding. “As you should have.”

In that situation, anyone would choose their own mother.

If someone could abandon even their mother, that would make them truly despicable,

Julian looked at her unperturbed expression, her carefree tone, and frowned slightly. “As for what happened after, I won’t make excuses for myself. I admit that when I heard my mom had fallen in the water, I panicked a bit. Plus, Noah said you were safe…”

He couldn’t quite continue, looking at the faint, utterly unsad smile on Louisa’s face.

He forced himself to finish, “This matter–I truly didn’t handle it well. If you feel I’m not worthy of your affection, Ell respect your choice.”

At this point, he looked at her intently, as if trying to find even a trace of… caring about him in het expression.

However, Louisa still smiled with that airy detachment, “It’s not that serious. What do you mean worthy or not? Being with you is because we get along well, and being together is fun. It’s not because you’re Superman. I don’t need you to do anything for me, really.

At this point, she turned to smile brilliantly at him. “If you and my dad both fell into a river, I’d definitely save my slad first, too. I’d probably even forget

who you were. At least you remembered to have Noah take me home–that’s already quite good. So really, don’t feel guilty. Let’s just let this matter pass,

okay?

Julian’s heart constricted. He couldn’t speak.

He’d wanted so badly to explain everything clearly to her. How had it ended up with her comforting him after he’d said his piece?

She seemed truly indifferent, truly carefree.

But he knew–this was the false Louisa, and also the truest Louisa.

She’d had this same demeanor when passing judgment on George.

Now, it was his turn…

Ten minutes later, they returned to their seats. Each opened their laptops and resumed working.

Teddy was also called back by Julian.

Looking at his boss and colleague who’d transformed into workaholics, Teddy internally screamed for help. The plane had only been in the air for two–plus hours–there were still over seven hours left. Were they really going to work the entire time?

He first glanced at his boss and nodded secretly: Right, when in a bad mood, that’s how it is–crazily exploit yourself and everyone else.

But he didn’t want to work on the plane.

He looked at Louisa again with a resentful expression: Couldn’t Louisa just say a few words to Julian?

As long as she was willing to talk–no matter what she said–Julian would return to normal.

Louisa ignored him.

Teddy resigned himself to his fate, pulled out his laptop, and worked silently.

For the next seven hours, Julian truly worked the entire time.

Teddy, the unfortunate assistant, lost count of how many times he’d sighed.

Louisa paid them no mind.

Her work efficiency was already high. After finishing her own work, she closed her eyes to rest.

She wasn’t afraid of Julian firing her.

Fine if he did–she didn’t have to work for his company.

For the remaining hours, she slept quite soundly.

Teddy looked over at her several times with great envy. He really wanted to rest, too.

Thinking abeat it, he actually closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly.

Julian noticed but didn’t wake him.

The cabin was exceptionally quiet.

Something seemed to have fallen to the floor.

Julian turned to look–it was Louisa’s blanket that had slipped off.

He walked over to pick it up, wanting to cover her again. But he’d gone too long without proper rest. The moment he bent down, dizziness hit him. His

whole body sank down, and his mouth landed squarely on Louisa’s lips.

Louisa was “kissed‘ awake… no, more accurately, she was woken by being crashed into.

But Louisa didn’t know what had happened. She just looked at Julian, whose lips were on hers, her body stiffening for an instant.

Julian seemed to sense her stiffness. He stood up and tucked her blanket in properly.

Then he went back to his seat.

Throughout the entire process, he didn’t say a word to Louisa.

The now–awake Louisa sat there feeling vexed.

Seriously? Had Julian taken time out of his busy schedule to come kiss her?

Did he like her that much?

As she kept thinking, her heart calmed again.

What did liking matter anyway?

Human feelings could take many forms. “Liking‘ carried the least weight.

She was the same–toward Julian, it was also just liking, nothing more.
