“There really are ghosts here.”
Julian spoke seriously.
To set the mood, he deliberately lowered his voice. “Maybe a ghost will come knocking at the door any second now.”
Of course, Louisa didn’t believe him.
Suddenly, knocking sounded at the door.
Accompanied by a woman’s terrified voice. “Mr. Tudor…”
That single cry startled Louisa badly.
She instinctively threw herself into Julian’s arms… Could there really be a ghost?
She clutched tightly at the shirt on his back, her heartbeat racing wildly.
In contrast, Julian’s heartbeat remained steady, his breathing calm.
Outside the door, the woman’s voice trembled even more violently. “Mr. Tudor, please… save me…”
From the sound of it, she was about to cry.
In Julian’s arms, Louisa lifted her head to meet his deep gaze, silently asking: [Who is that person outside?]
Julian chuckled softly, answering just as silently: [Isn’t it a ghost?]
Louisa was silent.
She didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
She was a staunch atheist who never believed in ghosts or spirits.
But at this moment, she was genuinely afraid.
Julian leaned down and whispered in her ear. “She seems quite pitiful. Should we help her?
Louisa was silent.
Since when did he overflow with sympathy?
She didn’t believe his nonsense and pushed at his waist, meving him further into the room
Away from the door,
Julian was quite cooperative.

Chapter 460
When they reached the center of the room, Louisa felt her steps were unsteady.
The knocking and cries for help outside continued. The voice changed from initial terror and fear to more urgency, finally becoming shrill–as if the person was on the verge of complete breakdown.
Louisa was tormented by that voice as well.
Finally, the sounds outside stopped.
The person must have left.
Louisa’s terrified emotions gradually settled down, and she began recalling that knocking voice… It sounded like that foreign woman, Yvaine Harrison, from
the banquet who’d wanted to talk to Julian.
But that didn’t make sense.
They’d only entered the room a few minutes ago. In those few minutes, what could that Yvaine have experienced to make her so frightened?
Also, how could she pinpoint this exact room? And how did she know so clearly that Julian was in this room?
Utterly bewildering.
This left Louisa’s mind somewhat dazed, weakly supporting her forehead.
After a long while, she finally began surveying the room’s interior.
No bright lights–everything glowed with a dark red hue.
Combined with the lavish vintage decor, the entire room exuded an evil, sinister feeling.
A strange fragrance permeated the air–not floral, not herbal, not incense… In short, it was very bizarre.
‘Aren’t you curious why that woman came looking for us?”
Julian’s ghostly voice came to her ear.
At the same time, he pressed his entire body against hers, wrapping his arm around her waist, has warm breath brushing her neck.
Belatedly, Louisa turned to look at him.
His naturally cool and noble features, now presented in this dark red light and shadow, appeared even more devastatingly beautiful and wickedly albating
Meeting her gaze, Julian smiled slightly Louisa, looking at me like that… what do you want to do?
Deliberate pause, lowered voice–unspeakably sexy.
Louisa instantly felt her mouth go dry. Do what?
Her mind immediately conjured images of them in bed, frantically making love.

Deadly.
She immediately shook her head, casting those thoughts aside, then pushed his head to the side. “I’m not curious, not curious at all… Besides, she was 1 looking for us–she was looking for you. From start to finish, she kept calling Mr. Tudor.“”
That seductive demon attracting attention everywhere.
Louisa added this mentally.
Julian gazed at her for a moment, as if hearing her thoughts.
He chuckled softly and directly pulled her onto his lap, his lips pressed to her ear. “Then shall I go grab her and make her call out again, adding our Ms.
Forbes into it? Would that work?”
Louisa gritted her teeth. “Thank you so much! Such wonderful fortune–you should enjoy it yourself!”
As she spoke, she pushed against his chest.
In such a hot room, why did he keep clinging to her?
Her mood grew increasingly irritable.
Ever since entering this room, her emotions seemed somewhat out of control–restless, agitated, constantly wanting to lash out.
She simply removed that purple eggplant–like suit jacket.
A thin layer of sweat had seeped onto her neck, strands of hair sticking to it. She brushed them away with her hand.
Julian watched, his breathing thickening.
He helped her tie up her hair, no longer joking, his tone gentle. “If you’re tired, rest for a bit.”
Louisa murmured agreement, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.
However, that stuffy feeling in her heart didn’t disappear.
Only when she caught his fresh, pleasant scent did her emotions gradually become calmer.
But she couldn’t fall asleep.
After a while, she asked, ‘Julian, are you dizzy?‘
