After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 561

Chapter 561

Louisa’s grip on her knife and fork tightened sharply.

The other Tudors felt varying degrees of tension.

You couldn’t hide the truth forever. Adeline would learn Louisa’s real identity sooner or later.

On one side was the lifesaver she adored.

On the other was the Louisa she despised.

Once this truth came out, it would be heaven on one side, hell on the other.

The atmosphere in the room grew strange.

Julian smiled. “Mom, you dragged her in here, said all that to her, and now you want to interrogate her? Aren’t you scaring her off?”

Adeline said, “I’m just asking for her name. She was about to tell me earlier.”

Julian replied, “That was politeness. The fact that she hasn’t come forward to claim this lifesaver‘ title all this time shows she

doesn’t want your reward or to reveal her information.”

Adeline was confused. “What? But…”

Julian said, “Let’s eat first. Next time we’ll invite her to our home. Once we’re all more familiar, she’ll naturally open up.”

Adeline fell silent.

It was just a name. Did that require “opening up“?

Louisa, who’d been silent until now, caught Julian’s key words: Next time? Their home? Visit?

No.

She wanted nothing more to do with his family.

Besides, she hadn’t done anything wrong. Why should she sneak around?

Who cared what Adeline thought?

Who cared what the Tudor family thought?

She, Louisa, had nothing to hide.

She suddenly looked at Adeline and smiled falsely. “Since you want to know my name, I’ll

“Child!” William suddenly bellowed, his voice deep and commanding.

Louisa jumped, startled by his shout.

She couldn’t help but look at William.

you…

Was Mr. William Tudor trying to scare her to death?

William spoke with a tone of deep sincerity. “Child, listen to me. Build a relationship with her first. A name is just a label–it’s not

important. For now, we’ll just call you Verde.”

Louisa’s mouth twitched.

Verde?

“Mr. William Tudor, do you hear yourself right now?‘

William smiled warmly at her, his eyes conveying: ‘Louisa, trust me. I won’t steer you wrong. I know my wife’s personality. Once

she’s hopelessly fond of you and committed to you, everything will work out.”

Amelia and Justin called out in sweet unison, “Verde.”

Louisa’s scalp tingled.

What was even happening?

Alicia, as if suddenly remembering something, smiled. “Verde, our family has an activity this weekend–we’re going to the church for

a vegetarian meal. Come with us. After that terrifying incident you and my mom went through, you should get a protective charm

too.”

Before Louisa could respond, Adeline’s attention shifted to her daughter.

She smiled at Louisa. “Alicia’s right. You really should go pray for blessings. Come with us. And bring those other three girls too-

we’ll all go worship together and shake off this bad luck.”

Louisa wanted to cry.

Go to church with the Tudor family?

Keep being “Verde” the whole time?

No. She wasn’t going.

She glanced at the time. “I have to work this weekend. Mr. Tudor, Mrs. Tudor, everyone–goodbye.”

Without waiting for anyone’s reaction, she stood and walked out quickly.

Adeline called after her, “Verde, I don’t have your phone number! Leave your number!”

But Louisa was already gone.

Julian rose unhurriedly, offering reassurance. “Tll go after her. I guarantee she won’t be working this weekend.”

Adeline missed the implication in his words and urged him, “Then hurry up and go.”

Julian nodded and left, heading toward the elevators.

His pace was quick, but he moved calmly, composed–as if completely confident he’d catch her.

Inside the room.

William and Alicia exchanged glances, raising eyebrows and smiling secretly.

Amelia looked worried.

Everyone conspiring to trick their mother like this–if the truth came out and their mother got angry and ran back to her family in

Sunrise City, they’d all be crying.

Jonathan leaned back in his chair, lost in thought, saying nothing.

Jeffrey also seemed distracted.

Justin continued eating, enjoying the food.

Adeline suddenly thought of Louisa and asked, “Wasn’t Louisa here earlier? Since I didn’t come, did she feel humiliated and have a

fight with your brother and leave?”

“Well…” Amelia couldn’t find words.

Alicia answered for her. “Mom, you know perfectly well that hiding out there and not coming back would make her feel awkward. If

we’re talking about throwing tantrums, you’re number one in the universe. You just think her background isn’t good enough for

Julian. Honestly, you’ve never even met her or gotten to know her–stop projecting your personal feelings onto her.”

Adeline’s face burned with embarrassment.

She hadn’t disliked Louisa at first.

It was only after learning her son was dating Louisa–and that he kept opposing his own mother for Louisa’s sake–that she’d gotten

emotional.

She explained, “I didn’t hide out on purpose. Someone invited me. Besides, Julian clearly doesn’t need her that badly. The moment

he met Verde, he immediately switched his affections, didn’t he?”

Justin couldn’t hold back. “Mom, your son’s being a total player and you’re proud of it?”

“You little brat!” Adeline’s head ached from his sass.

But thinking about her son and Louisa, she had to admit her son was being pretty terrible.

Still, now that her son liked Verde–which was what she’d wanted–she didn’t dislike Louisa as much anymore.

After some thought, she said, “I didn’t expect Julian to change his heart so quickly. I don’t know how it happened either. Maybe I

should go apologize to Louisa and give her some compensation. Or give her money. If she’s truly smart, she’ll understand that Julian,

moving on just means she didn’t have what it takes to keep his heart. That’s not our fault.”
