Louisa knew perfectly well he wasn’t just passing by he’d come specificall
And as for why he’d come, Noah had definitely tipped him off.
She pressed her hand against his chest. “We’re on the street. Behave yourself
Ever since they’d come back from the Northwest, this man had stopped being careful. He was all one
Even Flora, standing nearby, couldn’t take it anymore. ‘I’m just saying, you two-there’s a vinge pervin
Julian chuckled. ‘Right. Not just a single person-a third wheel,”
Flora, having been hit twice in a row, fell silent.
She said flatly, “Fine. I’ll leave, okay?”
“Bye!” Louisa waved goodbye.
Flora waved back without turning around, looking utterly carefree.
Louisa and Julian got in the car.
Noah was driving.
Knowing he was at fault, he turned around from the front seat and grinned sheepishly at Louisa. Ms. Forber.”
“Let’s go.” Louisa sighed helplessly.
After all, Noah was Julian’s man. Reporting to Julian was his habit.
She had nothing to say about it.
Julian pulled her onto his lap. “You finalized the space?”
“Yeah.” She answered absentmindedly.
Looking out the window at the road home, she thought about what had happened earlier.
Was George still waiting at the complex?
Today’s incident had been a fluke, but George had been furious this morning. He wasnt the type to let things go easily

Chapter 543
13.6
This man had stopped pestering her about remarrying, but now he was fixated on something else this morning, suspecting she was pregnant.
She had no idea how he’d figured it out at a glance.
Who are you thinking about?”
A cool, detached voice came from above her.
Louisa jolted, looking up to meet Julian’s chilly gaze. She smiled guiltily, “I was thinking… what to eat for dinner.”
“Is that so?”
His tone was light, clearly unconvinced.
Louisa rarely lied, so she felt very guilty.
She was afraid of running into that psycho George again.
Afraid George would blurt out something about the pregnancy in front of Julian.
Julian wasn’t easy to fool.
She looked up at Julian. “Let’s eat out, okay?”
Julian didn’t answer immediately. He just looked at her.
Louisa’s heart raced. Whenever he looked at her like this, she felt completely transparent.
They were almost home. She was running out of time.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and wheedled, “Please?”
“…Fine.”
In the end, he didn’t ask any more questions. He only asked what she wanted to eat.
Louisa randomly named a restaurant.
Julian had Noah navigate there.
After lunch, Louisa said she wanted to go shopping nearby.

Julian agreed again.
Then they went from the restaurant to the plaza, from the plaza to the pedestrian tires.
They ate dinner.
Then from the pedestrian street to the park.
They watched the musical fountain show that started promptly at seven.
It had been an entire afternoon. Surely George wasn’t still waiting at the complex, right?
To be safe, Louisa dragged Julian around some more.
“Julian, let me win you a stuffed animal. Which one do you like?”
“Let’s ride the carousel, okay? Make up for your missing childhood.”
“And this bubble machine-you’ve definitely never played with one. Let me buy it for you, okay?
“Let’s get ice cream.”
“Julian, let’s try a mystery box.”
Julian went along with her stalling tactics the entire time.
Nine-thirty at night.
Louisa was starting to run out of steam.
George had to be gone by now, right?
Could they go home now?
Julian held a bubble machine in one hand and a stuffed animal in the other.
He spotted a kiddie train in the distance. ‘Louisa, there’s a little train over there. Want to ride it?”

Around them were plenty of two- and three-year-olds tugging their parents hands, clamoring to ride the train.
Louisa’s mouth twitched. She said awkwardly, ‘Mr. Tudor, you want to ride that? Sure, no problem. But it’s really not suited for you. You probably couldn’t even fit inside.

* I don’t try how can I bally make up for my childhood?”
widn’t argue with him.
She really couldn’t.
And Mr. Tador never played by the rules. She was genuinely afraid he’d insist on dragging her onto the kiddie train. That would be embarrassing.
She linked arms with him and steered him toward the exit. “Let’s go home. We’ll make up for it another time.”
She figured it was so late now-George had to be gone, right?
She clung to that hopeful thought.
They went home together.
After getting out of the car, as they headed toward the elevator, Louisa felt inexplicably nervous.
Iulian leaned close to her ear. Ms. Forbes, what are you nervous about? Afraid of running into your ex-husband?”
What do you mean afraid of running into him… Why would I be afraid of him?” Louisa immediately protested.
Julian scoffed and shoved the stuffed animal into her arms.
Louisa clutched it tightly.
When they finally reached the elevator, there was no sign of George.
