After the Affair. Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms
Chapter 545
His voice was low and mesmerizing, making Louisa dizzy.
What had she wanted to say? She suddenly forgot.
His kiss descended, soft and lingering as he kissed her.
Good thing it was already late,
Good thing they were the only two units on this floor.
They kissed, lost in each other,
Not until Louisa felt like she was suffocating did she push him away, gasping for air. ‘I thought about it. You’re right. So I’ll move to your place after all.”
Julian’s smile widened, “Good. I’ll help you move.”
Louisa said, “No need. It’s so late. I’ll pack tonight and move tomorrow.”
She didn’t want to disturb the neighbors in the middle of the night.
Julian said, ‘I’ll help you pack
Louisa laughed. “Mr. Tudor, do you really want to help me pack?”
Julian said, “Why wouldn’t 1 be sincere? I’ll help you pack and protect you. Otherwise, what if those five severed heads float out of your phone in the middle of the night?”
Louisa fell silent.
10th Floor.
George returned to the apartment he’d bought to win back his ex-wife. All he did was drink.
This apartment felt foreign. No matter how long he stayed, it never felt like home
But he didn’t dare return to the house he’d once shared with Louisa. Every corner held memories of them together. Being there felt
suffocating.
As for Capulet Marion going back meant facing his parents pressuring him to get married. He didn’t want to go on blind dates, and he didn’t want to go back.

Chapter 545
Out of all these homes, not one was a place where he could feel at peace.
So he could only sit on this sofa and drink.
As he drank, he thought about Louisa being pregnant.
As he drank, he thought about the question Julian had asked him.
Though at the time, Julian hadn’t said anything more.
But Julian was always cunning. He wouldn’t ask something like that for no reason.
Could Julian know that Lorelei was blackmailing him into marrying her idiot daughter?
Had Louisa told Julian about his situation?
But that didn’t make sense. Julian had no reason to care about George’s affairs…
Unless Julian wasn’t concerned about him or the Capulet family-but about the JM Chamber of Commerce?
At that thought, he set down his glass and called Caden. “I’m at Cozy Community. Come over. I need to ask you something.”
Caden said, “About Vivian?”
George said, “Forget it. I can’t help your sister. I’ll be thanking my lucky stars if she doesn’t come back to ruin me. But what I need to ask you about does involve the Price family. You should come over.”
“Alright. I’ll head over now.” Caden agreed.
Because of his sister, everyone in the Price family hated the Capulet family-especially George.
Everyone in the Price family believed Vivian had gotten into all this trouble because of George.
Only Caden knew the truth-his sister had gone after George first.
To put
bluntly, Vivian had brought this fate upon herself.
At the very least, no one had forced her to kill anyone.
A few days ago, he’d pulled every string he could to at least spare Vivian from execution.
Who knew she’d dig her own grave again by breaking out of prison?

There was no saving her now.
No one could save her anymore.
Caden didn’t want to think about it anymore. He patted his weary face and left his study.
But as he came downstairs, he saw his parents hurrying out together.
It was already eleven at night. This late-where were they going?
And his mother was still out on bail pending trial. She wasn’t supposed to leave the house.
Caden hurried downstairs, trying to stop his mother.
But by the time he got outside, his parents had already gotten in the car and driven off.
He frowned deeply and immediately pulled out his phone to call his father.
But the moment he pressed the number, a thought flashed through his mind. His gaze sharpened. Could Lorelei be demanding payment from his parents?
At that thought, he didn’t hesitate. He got in his car and chased after them.
At the same time, he sent George a message: [Something came up. I’ll come by later.]
The next day.
Louisa packed some of her everyday clothes.
Julian personally carried them over to his place.
While they were eating breakfast, Percy called Julian.
Julian answered. “What is it?”
Percy said, “Mr. Tudor, the matter you asked me to discuss with Mr. Price and Mr. Capulet is already in progress.”
“Good. Thanks for your hard work.” Julian acknowledged.
Percy went on to mention a few other things.
Louisa’s eating slowed down.

Mr. Price? Mr. Capulet?
That had to be Caden and George.
What was he discussing with them?
Could it still be about that joint project between the Capulet Group and the Price Group?
She was curious but didn’t ask.
Julian noticed her distracted expression. “What are you thinking about?”
Louisa snapped out of it. “Nothing.”
She continued eating.
