After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms

Chapter 562

Her words left all her children speechless.

Alicia said, “Mom, that’s not an apology–that’s an insult.”

Sure, Louisa’s background was less privileged, but she’d risen from a small project manager to investment director in just two

months.

Now their father had personally recruited her as Tudor Group’s CFO. Wasn’t that ability far superior to those privileged rich girls?

To throw money at someone like that and tell them to leave–that was truly insulting.

Adeline felt a bit guilty under her daughter’s criticism, but she stubbornly defended herself. “Fine, let’s not talk about Louisa. Julian

and Verde just met, and their interaction was already so natural. Can you honestly say they’r not meant to be? Love at first sights

hard to resist. As for Louisa, I was a bit harsh, but how can love that grows over time compare to love at first sight? The impact is

completely different. Your brother couldn’t help himself.”

Amelia stared, dumbfounded, exchanging a look with Justin: ‘Whoa! That logic actually works?

Alicia was at a loss for words. She clapped with mock reverence. “My mom’s brilliant. Genius.”

Jonathan rolled his eyes.

Jeffrey continued spacing out.

William stood to close the discussion. “Enough. Stop overthinking it. Julian will handle this. Louisa and Verde are both good girls-

whoever he chooses, we’ll support him.”

Downstairs, Noah pulled the car up in front of Louisa.

He hopped out efficiently and walked over. “Ms. Forbes, Mr. Tudor’s car was taken by Teddy. Mr. Tudor asked you to wait–he’ll ride

with you.”

Louisa was still furious with Julian.

She never lost her temper in front of others, but Julian daring to deceive her wasn’t something she’d let slide easily.

She didn’t want to share a car with him. She tossed out, “Then you take him. I’ll walk.”

But after a few steps, she realized something was wrong. This was her own car. Why should she avoid Julian?

She turned back and headed for her car.

However, she opened the passenger door.

She wouldn’t sit with Julian.

But Noah blocked her again, grinning. “Ms. Forbes, sit in the back. Mr. Tudor said he wants to chat with you on the way home. He

asked you to sit in back.”

Louisa laughed in exasperation. “This is my car!”

“I know.” Noah agreed cheerfully, but didn’t budge.

Louisa looked at his solid frame completely blocking the door. Behind her, Julian was catching up.

She gave up talking and went for the back door instead.

But Julian was faster, reaching her side and opening the door for her first.

Louisa ignored him and got in.

Julian entered from the other side.

Noah started the car and raised the privacy partition.

The car left the restaurant parking lot.

On the road.

The isolated backseat space was very quiet.

They sat on opposite sides, the middle empty and cold, like a pressure front building between them.

The tension grew heavier.

Julian sighed silently and slid toward her, reaching for her hand.

Louisa yanked it back and glared at him fiercely. “Liar! Don’t touch me!”

Julian smiled. At least she was still talking to him. Things weren’t too bad.

He looked at her, his tone gentle. “Okay. I’m a liar. I apologize.”

All of Louisa’s pent–up fury erupted in that moment. “You said you’d let me think about meeting your parents slowly. Then you

turned around and set this up–that’s ‘thinking slowly‘? You wanted to roast me alive, didn’t you?”

And after all that, he hadn’t even dared tell his mother her real name. What did that mean?

Was he ashamed of Louisa?

Chapter 562

Fine.

She didn’t care anyway.

She didn’t care about anyone.

When they got home, without a word, she went to his bedroom and started packing her things.

She was leaving.

She wasn’t living with him anymore.

She stuffed her clothes into her luggage haphazardly.

Julian followed her in but didn’t stop her.

He closed the door, leaned against it, and silently watched her take out her anger on her belongings.

Louisa found his staring extremely irritating. She whipped around and glared at him. “What are you looking at? Get out!”

Julian didn’t get angry. He actually laughed.

He walked toward her, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her tightly into his embrace, and looked down at her. “Why take it

out on your clothes? I’m right here. Want to hit me instead?”

His tone was gentle, his emotions steady as always.

Louisa’s fury suddenly lost its force.

But she was still upset. She kicked his leg. “Liar!”

Julian nodded, admitting it without shame. “Yes, I’m a liar. But you? Didn’t you lie too?”

Louisa stiffened.

Julian said, “You knew all along you were the lifesaver my mom’s been searching for. Fine, you didn’t want to claim credit—but you

didn’t tell me the truth either. Isn’t that lying?”

Louisa felt a flash of guilt, then immediately put on a righteous expression. “So what if I lied to you? That’s separate from you

setting a trap for me.’

Julian laughed, tapping her forehead. “Verde, I never realized you had potential as a bandit. You’re this unreasonable?”

Louisa’s face heated. Maybe she was being unreasonable.

Her fire slowly died down.

Chapter 562

Julian raised one hand and cupped her face, his fingers gently tracing her features. “Lying to you was wrong. I was in a rush. I wanted you to meet my family, wanted them to accept you quickly…”

“But you still didn’t dare admit my name in front of your mother.” Her reminder was cool. She continued, “Anyway, I lied to you, you

lied to me—we’re even. But Julian, I’m telling you now: I won’t participate in your family gathering. I won’t be ‘Verde. Who I am

what my name is—your mom will find out eventually. I don’t want to hide it. Besides, why should I hide it? I don’t need your mom

to like me. I also don’t need to=”

Marry you!

Before she could finish.

Julian gripped the back of her head and kissed her fiercely, cutting off her unspoken words.
