After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459

Louisa swallowed the cake and leaned her head toward him, lowering her voice. “You don’t need to scare me. I’ve analyzed it–this dessert is fine.”

Julian’s eyes held a smile. “How did you figure that out?”

Louisa said, “These dark cuisine dishes look bloody, but they’re just hard for us to swallow–they’re not poisoned. Besides, so many people here have extraordinary status. No matter how bizarre the host is, she couldn’t possibly poison us all collectively, right? As for why only the dessert is normal… look at that Lilith. Her expression has been composed from the start–she definitely guessed we couldn’t eat those dishes. But she can’t really let her guests go hungry, so she served a normal dessert at the end. I figure she was just testing us initially, seeing our adaptability and reactions. Furthermore, if they really wanted to do something to us, we’re already on the island. They have many ways to make their move. Even if we don’t eat or drink, we can’t avoid sleeping or breathing, right?”

In other words, worrying was useless.

Julian chuckled softly, his intoxicating low voice rippling in her ear. ‘Our Louisa is so clever.”

In the end, everyone ate the dessert–except Julian, who was on a diet.

Lilith ate too and asked Julian, “Mr. Tudor really won’t try some?”

Julian turned his head slightly to look at her.

Aside from Briar across from them, Julian was closest to Lilith–close enough to clearly see every detail of her face.

Julian’s gaze swept lightly over her face, neck, and exposed arms before he smiled. “Apologies, but high–sugar items are even more off–limits, or my skin will age faster.”

‘It seems Mr. Tudor is well–versed in health maintenance.” As she spoke, Lilith’s body leaned slightly toward him. “Mr. Tudor, come to my room tonight. Let’s discuss this topic properly, shall we?”

As she spoke, she extended her hand, about to land on Julian’s arm.

Both Louisa’s and Orion’s hearts simultaneously tightened.

Julian reached for his water glass, naturally avoiding her touch, saying calmly, “If you only give me this opportunity, I’m afraid it will make the other guests dissatisfied.”

Lilith laughed–a very pleased laugh. “Don’t worry, Mr. Tudor. The chamber entrusted me with such an important reception, How could I let everyone de bored? Everyone who came here is an honored guest. No one will be idle–everyone will have something to gain.”

The volume was neither too high nor too low–enough for everyone present to hear.

Did that mean tonight was destined not to be peaceful?

But what exactly would happen?

Everyone’s eyes involuntarily looked toward Lilith Regarding the unknown night ahead, some were pussiest, see ecated, some poniskest

Julian showed no emotion, smiling faintly Sounds quite worth banking forward to

After speaking, he brought the water glass to his lips, took a light sip, then placed it back on the table.

But when setting it down, his glass accidentally tilted, spilling onto Lilith’s arm.

“Apologies.” He very gentlemanly and calmly pulled out two tissues to help her wipe.

Lilith said it was fine, lifting her arm to cooperate with Julian’s wiping. Not only was she not angry, she even seemed to enjoy it, her stiff smile showing

hints of shyness.

Louisa noticed but remained composed.

Orion, however, was furious.

After the banquet ended.

Lilith led the guests to the second floor of the castle. “Everyone has traveled far and must be tired. Rooms have been prepared for you. Please rest first–two per room. If you came alone, you can also have a single room. However, I suggest finding a companion–after all… the wind is strong at night. One person would be frightened.”

When she said the last sentence, she smiled slightly–completely without any comforting intent, because that smile on her stiff expression was particularly

creepy.

So when she said “the wind is strong,” it absolutely couldn’t just mean the night wind was strong.

Because strong wind alone couldn’t scare people.

And what did she mean by “rest for a bit first“?

Would there be activities later?

Everyone was confused. Many eyes looked toward Julian, hoping he would ask.

However, Julian showed no intention of questioning.

The castle butler instructed the servants to lead guests to their rooms.

Briar walked to Louisa’s side, reaching to pull her. “Louisa, we…”

I’m sharing a room with Julian.” As if knowing what she wanted to say, Louisa avoided her hand in time and linked arms with Julian.

Briar was silent,

Orion, watching his fiancée get rejected, laughed gleefully

Julian looked down at Louise, his gaze gentle.

But when he looked at Briar again, bis expression instantly turned serious, even carrying a warning. Bar, don’t cross the line.

He knew Briar was also a lesbian.

Seeing Louisa’s strong reaction to Briar, Juhan figured out that Briar must have taken a liking to Laois or even done something for hes, which was why

Louisa was so resistant.

Briar muttered quietly. “Stingy.”

Julian ignored her and left first, holding Louisa s hand.

Noah and Teddy followed behind them, staying in the room next door.
