Louisa fell silent.
That’s his mother, all right.
After a few more minutes of walking, another priest appeared.
The two priests bowed politely to each other.
The newcomer also bowed to Julian’s group before heading toward Lorelei’s party. He was probably there to guide them.
Louisa couldn’t help but glance over. Lorelei’s definitely here because of the Tudor family, isn’t she?
As for her purpose, Louisa had no idea.
Julian noticed her lagging behind. “Your stamina’s not great. I’ll carry you.”
His mother and eldest brother ahead of them went silent.
His sister and bodyguard behind them went silent.
Louisa’s friends went silent.
What do you mean her stamina’s not great?
How would you know about her stamina?
So now we’re not even pretending anymore? Just putting it all out there?
Louisa’s mind reeled. She shot Julian an irritated glare. Is this man trying to announce our relationship to the world or what?
Julian smiled charmingly. “Don’t be shy. If you get heatstroke, I’ll have to carry you anyway.”
Louisa pinched his waist hard and glared at him. Shut up!
Up ahead, Adeline listened to their exchange like a deaf-mute, as if she’d lived through four seasons and become numb to life.
Halfway through, Jonathan hoisted her onto his back.
She continued her existential crisis from her eldest son’s back.
Half an hour later, Louisa’s stamina really did give out, and hilian carried her.

The meal was entirely vegetarian-not exactly refined, but the vegetables looked fresh.
Amelia picked up her fork, ready to dig in, but Julian stopped her. “Don’t eat yet.”
He called Noah over. “These dishes are cold. Have the kitchen remake everything.”
“Got it!’ Noah immediately understood and disappeared.
Amelia muttered, “They’re not that cold…”
“Idiot!” Alicia smacked her on the head.
