Chapter 564
Julian smiled. “No one’s asking you to die. If you really don’t want to go, then don’t. I won’t force you.”
Louisa said, “You better mean that. No backing out halfway, and no more tricks.”
Julian said, “Okay, whatever you say.”
With that, he leaned in slightly, bringing his face close to hers.
Louisa met his magnified handsome face. “What are you doing?”
Julian looked aggrieved. “My mouth hurts.”
Louisa saw the bite mark she’d left on his lip and couldn’t help but laugh.
She grabbed his tie and kissed his lips.
The man who’d just been complaining about his mouth hurting didn’t seem to feel any pain the moment he touched her lips.
He cradled the back of her head, kissing her fervently.
Before long, Louisa melted in his arms.
They kissed passionately, unable to let go, for who knows how long, until finally a phone notification interrupted them.
Louisa pushed Julian away, breathing hard, and pulled out her phone to look.
It was a message from Rachel: [Okay Louisa, don’t rush to yell at me yet-just tell me, how did it go?]
Louisa ground her teeth as she replied: [Great. Pinkie Santos, Mrs. Tudor’s inviting you to church blessings this weekend. If you want to go, sign up quick.]
Rachel went silent on the other end.
What Pinkie?
She wanted to ask for clarification.
But Louisa stopped replying.
She shoved her phone back in her pocket.

Chapter 564
Share the blessings, share the suffering, right? Besides her being Verde, Rachel was Pinkie Santos, wasn’t she?
Good friends should stick together.
Julian watched her grinding her teeth with that look of sweet revenge and asked, “Whose message?”
Louisa said, “Scammer Number Two.”
Two people had tricked her today-Julian and Rachel.
Julian was Scammer Number One, so Rachel was naturally Scammer Number Two.
Julian fell silent.
Just then, his phone rang too.
He pulled it out and glanced at the caller ID: Jeffrey.
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
Louisa saw it too and hopped down from the desk. “I’ll head out first.”
Julian didn’t stop her.
He answered Jeffrey’s call. “Jeffrey, what’s up?”
“Um, it’s me.” Jeffrey stammered.
Julian said, “Jeffrey, what’s got you so tongue-tied? Need money? No, that can’t be right-you’ve never been shy about asking me for money… So you’re calling to ask about someone?”
Jeffrey, caught red-handed, just came out with it. “I just wanted to ask, during lunch this afternoon, Louisa got a call and left. Who called
her?
Julian’s lips curved slowly. “I thought you weren’t going to ask. The person who called was Louisa’s friend, Rachel.”
Louisa had no idea what the two brothers were discussing.
She wasn’t interested anyway.
Of course, she also didn’t know their conversation topic involved Rachel.
She sat in the living room, playing with Satan for a while, when she suddenly heard some commotion outside the doxir.

George?
Appearing and disappearing like a ghost-was he here to scare people?
George’s handsome face carried an air of irritation as he walked right past Louisa into Julian’s living room.
Acting so entitled, like this was his own home.
Wait-this jerk wasn’t lurking by elevators in the middle of the night to scare people anymore, now he was breaking and entering?
Was he here again to tell her not to have the baby?
Satan, seeing this seemingly rage-filled maniac appear in the house, barked loudly and lunged to bite George’s pant leg.

insisted on coming up to visit. I couldn’t stop him.”
Julian didn’t blame Bob.
Louisa, however, was furious.
Her life had already been thrown into chaos by the butterfly effect George had set off, one thing after another, annoying mon
And now he was like someone with Alzheimer’s, rebooting his brain endlessly, with new tricks every time.
She really wanted to throw him out.
George shifted his gaze from her to Julian. “Mr. Tudor, I am indeed here for you. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you ́
Julian smiled slightly, his posture relaxed. “Sure, let’s talk in the study.”
George followed him toward the study.
The two men walked one after the other toward the study in this peaceful-though not entirely friendly-manner.
This wordless understanding, this silent following, gave Louisa the feeling of “two mob bosses meeting up.”
Also, what did George want with Julian?
Noah, who’d been trailing behind playing with his phone, was equally curious. He sidled up to Louisa and said, “Ms. Forbes, you think
Capulet came here all fired up to challenge Mr. Tudor to a duel over you?”
Louisa stayed silent.
While George could be pretty crazy when he had his episodes, he wasn’t that crazy.
He wouldn’t actually challenge Julian to a duel.
Noah’s curiosity was already piqued.
He tugged at Louisa’s sleeve. “Ms. Forbes, let’s go listen. See what they’re actually talking about.”
He seemed convinced George was here to issue a challenge and was already pressing his ear to the study door.
Louisa didn’t go over.
She sat on the carpet holding Satan, her heart uneasy.

She wasn’t sure what George was really here for.
What if he was going to bring up her pregnancy again?
If he told Julian about her being pregnant, there’d be no way to cover it up.
After all, her pregnancy was real.
