After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms
Chapter 539
In that moment, Louisa’s heart pounded wildly.
Her entire body, which had been in a lazy, relaxed state, suddenly tensed. She didn’t even dare look at the phone on the floor again.
Several minutes passed before she finally steadied herself enough to pick up the phone.
By now, the screen had gone dark.
She took a deep breath before unlocking it again.
The harrifying image appeared before her eyes once more.
A row of bloody severed heads-five of them, neatly arranged on what looked like mushroom cultivation beds.
She’d had zero warning earlier. The moment she’d opened her phone and seen those heads, she’d been scared out of her wits.
She’d always thought of herself as brave, but not brave enough to face something this horrific head-on.

Now that she was mentally prepared, looking at those five blood-soaked heads still sent chills down her spine.
The heads eyes were all tightly shut, their faces completely drenched in crimson blood.
She examined them carefully and finally recognized them-Ethan and his two female companions.
The other two were Yvaine’s friends.
They were all members of the JM Chamber of Commerce exchange meeting. All of them were Lilith’s people.
Without a doubt, this photo had been sent to her by the real Lilith.
In other words, Angelina had sent it.
Angelina had killed her own people and cut off their heads to use as mushroom stumps.
Utterly deranged.
And Angelina’s purpose in sending this message was clear-intimidation, a declaration of war, telling Louisa that this bloody terror was about to creep into
her life.
After two months of peaceful living in the Northwest and the small town, she’d almost forgotten about Angelina.
But what had to come, came.
Louisa saved the image.
Her first instinct was to call Julian.
But just as she was about to dial, she remembered-Julian had taken his brother home.

Hed pobably just gotten there.
If she called him over now, his parents would definitely have opinions.
Forget it. She’d tell him later.
She turned off her phone and tried to sleep.
But realistically, after receiving such a threatening message, how could she possibly sleep well?
Every time she closed her eyes, she felt like those five heads were flying around in her mind.
She didn’t sleep well all night.
When she woke up the next morning, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked haggard.
She iced her face for a while and felt a bit better.
She was hungry.
Wanted to make something to eat.
But didn’t want to move.
Still, even if she could skip eating, the baby in her belly needed food.
She forced herself to get up and walk to the dining area. She opened the fridge to see what she could eat.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was Julian.
“You’re awake, right?”
His low, warm voice came through the phone.
Louisa said, “What can I do for you, Mr. Tudor?”
Julian said, “Come over and eat.”
Louisa looked at the carrot in her hand. She really didn’t want to eat it.
She agreed immediately, ‘Okay.”
Whether it was Bob’s cooking or Julian’s, both were exceptional.
Both were better than her carrot.
She quickly headed next door.

Chapter 539.
Tulian opened the door for her.
Bob didn’t seem to be around.
Right at the doorway, Julian pulled her into his arms, circling her waist, and kissed her lips.
Louisa didn’t resist.
Surrounded by his presence, she felt much more grounded.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and responded with equal passion.
Not until she felt like she couldn’t breathe’ did Julian finally release her lips, looking down at her.
Louisa’s cheeks flushed red as she gasped for air. “Julian, I need to tell you-
Something.
Before she could finish, a smile had already filled Julian’s eyes.
Still holding her waist, he kissed her lips again. “Who was in such a hurry to sleep last night and wouldn’t wait for me? Now you’re suddenly in the mood
this early in the morning?”
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he said, “Does our Louisa like making love in the morning? I’ll remember that. Our Louisa likes mornings, and in
the car… But right now, shouldn’t we eat first? Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be crying that you’re tired after just a couple of rounds in bed.”
Louisa fell silent.
She was speechless for several seconds.
She’d planned to tell him slowly, but now it seemed this man needed a little shock.
She gave him a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, then pulled out her phone, found the photo, and shoved it in his face.
Scare him to death!
That’s what she thought.
However, Julian wasn’t scared at all.
He glanced at it coolly. “Severed heads?”
His expression showed mild disgust.
Louisa was silent.
Wait-he wasn’t scared?
These were bloody severed heads.

Real severed heads.
And he was this calm?
Julian wasn’t just calm-he quickly recognized who they were.
His features gradually turned cold and stern. “You got this this morning?”
Louisa said, “Last night. Around eight.”
‘Last night?” Julian’s brow furrowed as he looked at her. “You got it last night-why didn’t you call me?”
Given how scared she was of ghosts, she probably hadn’t slept all night.
No wonder she looked so terrible.

Louisa was silent for a moment before continuing, “That’s not important. I’m telling you because Angelina seems to have her sights on me. She sent me
these pictures. But she sent them to me and not you, which clearly means she’s targeting me specifically. Honestly, I’m… I’m a little scared.”
She didn’t want to admit she was scared. It was embarrassing.
But she really was scared.
Not just of these horrifying photos showing up randomly.
She was also afraid-was Angelina secretly preparing to come after her?
Julian held her waist, gently stroking her brow and eyes with one hand. ‘It’s okay. I’m here. You don’t need to be afraid.”
Louisa nodded.
It was true-after telling him, she felt lighter.
She shrugged. “I just wanted to share this news with you. Let’s eat.”
She headed toward the dining table.
Julian watched her instantly return to normal and couldn’t help but admire her resilience.
He was silent for a moment before walking over to the table as well.
While she was happily eating, he suddenly spoke. “Move in with me. You’ll sleep better at night.”
