After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 534

Louisa didn’t want to get involved insjulian’s family matters or listen to their conversation.

She didn’t need to guess–William was calling to get Julian to come back to the Tudor Group.

Whether Julian returned to the Tudor Group or not had nothing to do with her.

She wouldn’t interfere with his decision.

So she got up from the sofa to give him privacy and headed to the bathroom to shower.

Julian didn’t stop her.

William’s voice came through the phone. “Julian, I heard you’re back in Silverlight City?”

Julian’s tone was flat. ‘I just got home and you already know? Did you plant someone to watch me?”

William said, “What are you talking about? Would I spy on you? A friend saw you at the airport and told me. I’m just calling to check in.”

Julian said, ‘Fine. I got your greeting. Anything else?”

His lukewarm tone was unsettling.

William chuckled awkwardly, his tone almost pleading. “Julian, since you’re back, when are you coming back to the office?”

Julian said, “I already resigned.”

William said, “Your resignation letter is still with me. I never submitted it. Once you’re done with your business, come back. You’ve been gone over a month. Your mother’s worried about you.”

Julian said, “I’m fine. No need to worry.”

His tone was cold.

William couldn’t tell if his son was still angry about Adeline driving Louisa away.

On the other end, Adeline heard her son’s tone and felt uneasy.

William wanted to wrap this up quickly but didn’t dare throw his wife under the bus.

He took the blame himself, explaining, “We were wrong to interfere with your work before. If you come back, you’ll have full authority over the company None of us will interfere again.”

Julian said nothing.

William continued quickly, Find a time to bring Louisa over for dinner.

Julian raised an eyebrow slightly. Does that mean you re accepting her?”

Retour William could answer, Adeline lost her patience.

She hadn’t wanted to compromise, but it seemed she had no choice now.

She said irritably, ‘You’ve been telling the whole world she’s your girlfriend and abandoned the company for her. Don’t we at least get to meet her?”

Julian seemed to consider this seriously. “I’ll ask if she’s willing to come.”

That one sentence nearly made Adeline spit blood.

How could Louisa not be willing?

When Louisa came out of the bathroom, she saw Julian had already ended the call.

She’d assumed that after his call, he’d leave.

But he was still there.

She didn’t ask anything, just stood at the sink doing her skincare routine.

Julian came up behind her, gently wrapping his arms around her waist.

Louisa leaned softly into his embrace. “What is it?”

Julian kissed her ear. “Interested in having dinner at my place? My parents want to meet their daughter–in–law.”

Louisa’s eyes went wide.

His parents wanted to meet her?

His father had just said that on the phone?

How could he say it so casually?

Julian saw her look like her soul had left her body. He turned her around and kissed her soft lips. “The Tudor family isn’t a hornet’s nest. Are you really that scared?”

Louisa stayed silent.

She wasn’t scared.

She was disgusted.

His mother had wanted to drive her out of Silverlight City before.

Then she left, and Julian followed her.

Now Adeline probably realized she couldn’t stop her son, so she wanted to meet Louisa face to face to show her the gap between her and the Toulon family

Then hint that she should be smart and leave on her own?

This

trap:

Hazel had set plenty of these traps for her before.

The same script, the same words, played out countless times.

She was sick of it.

Julian watched her frown, saw her resistance, and soothed her gently Don’t worry. I’ll be there. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Louisa hesitated for a long time, stammering, “I… I’m really not… ready…”

She didn’t want to go.

She didn’t want to go through that kind of scene again.

Julian saw her retreat.

That repulsion was almost spilling out of her.

Julian pulled her into his arms, patiently comforting her. “Okay. If you don’t want to go, we won’t go. Don’t feel pressured. I’ll give you time to think it over, okay?

“Okay, I’ll… think about it…” Louisa breathed a sigh of relief.

The urgent feeling of heading to the guillotine faded.

Julian gently stroked her hair, smiling. “Take your time. No rush. We have plenty of time.”

Louisa lowered her head, saying nothing more.

Of course, she didn’t see the disappointment in his eyes.

She didn’t want to go to his home. She didn’t want to tell him about the pregnancy…

He couldn’t blame her.

This wasn’t her problem.

It was his. He hadn’t handled things well. He wasn’t good enough. He hadn’t given her confidence in him, yet he still wanted her to choose him without hesitation…

How could she be willing?

In the end, neither of them brought up the topic again.
