Innova telt awkward.
Why was it that every time she talked about him behind his back, he overheard?
She let out a dry laugh and lowered her head to pet the dog, trying desperately to maintain her compoture en 20
Bob felt awkward too. “Um, Louisa, when you’re done, put Satan in his bed. I’m going to sleep now
“Okay, Bob. Good night.” Louisa lifted one of Satan’s paws and waved it at Bob.
Julian pulled over a chair and sat down beside Louisa, close enough that they were shoulder to shoulder.
They sat so near each other that she could clearly hear his breathing.
Louisa’s heart pounded rapidly. She had the distinct feeling she was about to be interrogated.
She quietly scooted to the side. “It’s hot.”
Translation: Don’t sit so close.
Julian glanced at Satan. “Satan’s gotten fat again. Holding him must be making you hot. Let me fan you both.”
He picked up the fan Bob had left on the table and started fanning her.
Louisa had no response to that. She simply stopped talking and lowered her head to continue petting the dog.
At the same time, she frantically organized her thoughts. If he asked why she was so interested in his family, how should she answer to
sound reasonable?
Sure enough, Julian spoke. “My family’s all back right now. They really want to meet you. If you’re interested, I could have them come see
you. How does that sound?”
His voice was low and warm, carried to her ears on the gentle breeze from the fan.
Louisa froze.
She knew this topic wouldn’t be easy to dodge.
She took a deep breath-then another-and looked up at him. “Could we… not? I promise I won’t gossip about your family anymore.
okay?”

Absolutely could not
She’d never planned to meet the Tudor family in the first place, and now with this whole lifesaver situation, the definitely renter
Otherwise, in the eyes of people who already had biases against her, wouldn’t she look like some scheming woman calculating her way into a wealthy family?
She couldn’t go.
She stood up, pulling Satan along, about to leave.
Julian grabbed her hand. He was about to tell her not to be so nervous-if she didn’t want to go, she didn’t have to. She didn’t need to
resist so much.
But before he could speak, his phone rang.
He pulled it out and glanced at the screen. Amelia was calling.
Louisa glanced at his phone screen too.
Julian noticed.
He’d been planning to step away to take the call, but seeing her expression, he changed his mind.
He pulled her onto his lap and answered the phone right in front of her. “What is it? Talk.”
Amelia got straight to the point. “Julian, I took Mom and Justin shopping today. Mom saw someone’s back and insisted it looked just like her lifesaver. She made Justin and me search the whole mall for her.”
Louisa’s jaw dropped. You’ve got to be kidding me.

Cmna pressed her lips together. How ridiculous. You all know it’s a stretch, so why even bother looking?
Julian’s tome cooled So? You went to look for her?
Amelia sounded miserable. What else could I do? Mom was upset. I told her I’d check the security footage… Even if I don’t check if she in it herself. If she thinks it’s her lifesaver, she’ll go looking on her own. That’s why I’m asking you-what should I do?
Lasuisa’s eyes widened. Security footage?
How had she forgotten about the cameras?
Julian said, “Send me the mall’s address. Then go tell Mom it’s too late tonight-we shouldn’t keep the mall staff working overtime. Tell her we’ll look tomorrow. Don’t worry about anything else. I’ll handle it.”
Amelia caught on immediately. “Julian, are you going to delete the footage overnight? Cut off all her leads?”
Julian said, “You don’t need to worry about the details. Just say what I told you. She can keep looking tomorrow. It’ll just be a matter of whether she finds anything or not.”
“Okay, okay, got it.” Amelia hung up cheerfully.
Julian felt a gaze on him. He turned and found Louisa staring at him without blinking.
Her look actually startled him. “Louisa, why are you staring at me like that?”
Louisa snapped out of it and shook her head. “Nothing, nothing. I just think this whole thing sounds kind of interesting. I don’t have
anything to do why don’t you let me handle it?”
said. “You don’t need to. I’ll just have Noah take care of it.”
