After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms

Chapter 521

Louisa jumped at the sudden voice. She looked up and met Julian’s deep gaze.

Her heart trembled.

For a split second, she’d wondered if he came here for her.

But she didn’t dare believe it. After all, they’d already broken up,

And he was the one who’d ended it.

He wasn’t the type to speak impulsively or without thinking things through.

So the moment that thought surfaced, she ruthlessly shoved it back down.

Why he came here was none of her business.

With that in mind, she forced a professional, hollow smile. “I don’t have any questions.”

Then she quickly avoided his gaze and pulled out a chair to sit down.

The flicker of hope in Julian’s eyes gradually dimmed.

She really had zero faith in him, did she?

The two onlookers exchanged a glance and fell silent.

They’d been ready to clear out-after all, they were basically giant third wheels-but now it seemed they didn’t need to leave after all, right?

Julian pulled out a chair and sat down. “Let’s eat.”

“Okay.”

Elara and Teddy hurriedly responded.

Elara brought out the rest of the dishes.

Louisa kept her head down, eating in silence.

Teddy stared at the table full of vegetable dishes with misery, but he had no choice but to eat. After all, if he didn’t eat this stuff, there’d be nothing else to

eat. He’d just go hungry.

Julian, on the other hand, showed no expression.

Whether it was a royal feast or a table of plain vegetables, his demeanor remained elegant and indifferent.

Finally, Elara came out carrying a small lidded soup bowl.

Even with the lid on, a fresh, meaty aroma kept wafting out.

Chapter 521 –

Teddy’s eyes went wide:

Elara placed it in front of Julian. “Mr. Tudor, this is lamb bone soup.”

“Where did you get it?” Julian and Louisa asked simultaneously,

Ever since the reserve had been closed off, all the mountain residents were forbiddert from hunting.

The mountain roads here were isolated, making it difficult to bring supplies. No one had seen meat in days.

As leaders, Julian and Louisa naturally had to strictly enforce the rules with their subordinates.

Meeting their sharp gazes, Elara quickly waved her hands. “Mr. Tudor, Ms. Forbes, don’t misunderstand. We didn’t go hunting in the mountains. I bought this at the market. I was afraid buying too much and bringing it into the mountains would arouse suspicion among the villagers, so I didn’t buy much. That’s why I only made this small bowl.”

She set the tray on the table and lifted the lid off the soup bowl.

The bone broth had been simmered with wild mountain mushrooms. The soup was clear and bright, with barely any visible meat, but the savory aroma hít them full force.

Julian’s expression softened. “Thank you for your thoughtfulness.”

“It’s nothing.” Elara quickly replied.

However, Julian didn’t drink it.

With one hand, he picked up the small bowl and placed it in front of Louisa.

Louisa froze, about to refuse,

Julian cut her off, his tone casual. “I haven’t had much of an appetite lately. Ms. Forbes, drink it for me. Let’s not waste Elara’s kind gesture.”

Put that way, Louisa couldn’t say anything more.

She knew perfectly well he didn’t have a poor appetite. He was clearly just giving her this rare bowl of bone broth.

A strange feeling rose in her chest-sour, swelling, warm, and painful all at once.

Julian placed a spoon in her soup bowl. “Drink.”

.” Louisa answered quietly.

“Thank

you.”

Across from them sat Elara and Teddy.

Elara was practically moved to tears.

She’d been so worried Julian wouldn’t adapt to this place that she’d tried every way possible to improve the food. She hadn’t expected that while even Teddy. his assistant, couldn’t handle the hardship here, Julian showed no reaction at all.

Even more remarkable, Julian could give away such a rare howl of bone broth to Louisa. His love was truly selfless.

ppp.

Teddy wasn’t thinking that deeply. He just stared at Louisa’s bowl of soup, eyes full of longing. He was starving.

Just as Louisa was about to drink, she caught his gaze.

She couldn’t bring herself to drink it anymore.

She pushed the bowl toward him. “You drink it.”

“No, no, no. Teddy quickly waved his hands. “I won’t drink it. You drink it.”

Mr. Tudor had already given it to her-how could he dare drink it?

Still, his eyes couldn’t help drifting back to the soup.

Louisa turned to Elara. “Elara, could you divide this soup up, please?”

“Sure.”

In the end, the three of them shared the bowl-everyone except Julian.

After dinner, Julian suddenly proposed going into the mountains to take a look.

Since arriving here a week ago, he

once gone to inspect the site in person. He’d completely left the project in Louisa’s hands.

Now that he suddenly wanted to

go,

Louisa naturally wouldn’t

stop

him.

Julian didn’t ask Teddy and Elara to follow. It was just him and Louisa.

The reserve wasn’t fully completed yet. A checkpoint had been set up at the mountain entrance, with forest rangers on duty 24/7.

When they learned Julian and Louisa wanted to enter the mountains, one ranger wasn’t very supportive. “Mr. Tudor, the reserve isn’t fully built yet. There are still many small animals running around inside. It’s dangerous for you to go in like this.”

Of course,
