How dare he?
Julian looked at her for a long moment before finally suppressing the emotions in his chest.
His voice carried more dejection now. I’m sorry. I’ve affected your mood. This whole trip has made you unhappy from the start. I’m very sorry, It’s my fault.”
Louisa suddenly found herself speechless. The fire in her heart gradually extinguished, replaced by frustration.
Werent they arguing?
It just started–and now it’s over?
She wanted to see the emotion in his eyes, wanted to know what he was really thinking.
His eyes lowered, she could only see the shadow cast beneath his brow bone.
Julian took out his phone and pulled up his chat history with Briar. Several messages mentioned Briar’s fiancé.
He held it in front of Louisa for her to see. ‘Briar is already engaged. She, her fiancé, and I are all good friends. I don’t know why you’d misunderstand, why
you’d think my relationship with her is inappropriate, but because I’ve caused you negative emotions, I apologize. Regardless… I hope you’ll be happy.
Louisa. You’re the most carefree person there is, aren’t you?”
That last sentence, he said while looking at her.
Louisa suddenly felt she couldn’t face his gaze.
She had misunderstood him.
She lowered her head, and it was a while before she managed to say, “I’m sorry… thank you…”
Thank you for still being willing to explain to her, even now.
Her voice was low and heavy, heavy enough to make anyone’s heart ache.
Julian said, “Why are you still unhappy? Are you upset you don’t have the right? I’m giving you the choice now. Do you want to be my girlfriend, or not? You decide. Is that okay?
In that instant, Louisa’s breathing stopped. Her eyes filled with a sheen of tears, as if they might fall at any moment.
She forced them back.
When she looked up again, Julian had already turned and gone back into his bedroom.
Louisa stood alone in the ballway, looking at his closed door, her heart clenched as tightly it felt like she could barely breathe.
She decides?
How does she decide?

Chapter 441
Is he really that easy to talk to?
Teddy emerged from his room, his expression somewhat unnatural. He didn’t quite dare meet Izmaisa’s eyes.
Clearly, he’d heard her conversation with Julian just now.
It wasn’t anything that couldn’t be overheard.
Louisa forced a smile at him. Let’s go.”
Teddy nodded.

The two went downstairs together, both silent.
Teddy glanced at her several times, repeatedly stopping himself from speaking.
Finally unable to hold back, he started, ‘Louisa, Mr. Tudor…”
“What’s wrong? Louisa replied absently.
Seeing her like this, Teddy swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and changed course. “Nothing much. I just wanted to say, if you don’t like Mr. Tudor that much, just forget it.”
Louisa fell silent.
Don’t like him that much?
Right. She and Julian–theirs was a union born of desire. Whatever affection existed was shallow, fleeting. Neither of them had invested much emotion into
But she’d already fallen for him. How could she just forget it?
Lost in thought, she didn’t watch her step. Her foot slipped.
‘Careful! Teddy noticed and quickly steadied her.
Louisa snapped back to reality. “Thank you.”
