Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Keira Olsen looked up when she heard this. She was about to give her name when she paused.
Then she raised an eyebrow, “Handsome Uncle, there are some things I feel uncomfortable saying to someone I know, but strangely, I can open up to a stranger. How about we agree not to ask about each other’s private affairs p>
Uncle Olsen immediately “ha-ha” laughed loudly, feeling this young girl was very much to his taste!
“Fine p>
Neither of them was talkative, yet they had an unspoken understanding during the meal, both reaching for the lotus root stuffed with sticky rice with their chopsticks at the same time.
After the meal, Uncle Olsen wiped his mouth, “You treated me to a meal, I must treat you to one in return p>
“No problem,” Keira Olsen smiled.
“Let’s do it in two days then,” Uncle Olsen said, looking at her. “I’m returning to the capital in two days. How about here, I treat your whole family to a farewell banquet? Also, I’d like to see what your mother is like p>
Keira Olsen just laughed, “Sure p>
Kiera Olsen knew without asking that Jodie South, who was always casual, would agree.
“See you, Handsome Uncle p>
Keira Olsen waved her hand, stood up to pay the bill, then left to hail a cab.
After she left, Uncle Olsen waited in the same spot for a while, then chuckled to himself.
If Ellis Olsen were here, he would be astounded!
Because in these past twenty years, the number of times his Uncle had laughed wouldn’t exceed three!
Uncle Olsen looked at the dining table, thought of the pleasurable meal with Kiera Olsen, and finally left reluctantly to return to his hotel.
No sooner had he entered the door than he saw Ellis Olsen working while eating takeout.
Uncle Olsen was about to walk past him when he suddenly came back to stare at him. Thinking of the girl’s face which greatly resembled his mother’s, he suddenly asked, “Your dad, or your uncle, do either of them have an illegitimate daughter p>
“Pfft–” Ellis Olsen spat out his food. “Uncle, are you joking p>
“I saw a young girl today, she looks a lot like your grandma p>
Ellis Olsen’s mouth twitched, “There are many people in the world who look alike, you’re really overthinking it, Uncle. Instead of suspecting my dad and my uncle, you might as well consider whether you have any romantic debts outside p>
Uncle Olsen: p>
Keira Olsen didn’t go back to the Horton Family, but took a cab to the Olsen Family to find her mom.
It had been a day since she had seen Jodie South, and she missed her very much.
Standing at the entrance of the Olsen Family house once again, Keira Olsen felt differently.
In the past, she thought this place was hell and longed to escape.
But standing there today, she felt it was home because her mother was there…
Keira Olsen pushed the door open, then got a shock.
In the clean yard, there were many things scattered around, and a large number of packing boxes were being tidily arranged by the maids, who were putting things inside.
The maids smiled immediately upon seeing Keira Olsen: “Good day, Miss p>
A warmth filled Keira Olsen’s heart.
She quickly bypassed them and entered the living room, where she saw Jodie South sitting on the sofa, looking at a piece of paper. Her eyes lit up when she saw Keira walk in, “Kiera, come here p>
Keira Olsen walked over and leaned against her, seeing a renovation blueprint in her hands: “I had them tear down Isla Olsen’s room upstairs; we’ll replace it with decorations you like. That way, you can occasionally come back to stay with Lewis Horton p>
Keira Olsen’s eyes instantly reddened.
When she had returned from the hospital this morning, she glanced upstairs… Isla Olsen’s room and her traces were all over this villa…
At that moment, she had promptly abandoned the thought, but she hadn’t expected Jodie South to have noticed all along…
She hugged Jodie South’s arm: “Mom, you really are the best mom in the world! I love the decorations on this blueprint p>
Jodie South stroked her head: “Silly child, these are all things I owe you… What are we having tonight p>
Keira Olsen smiled, “I met a very interesting Handsome Uncle today and treated him to dinner. He said he’d treat us in two days, Mom, let’s go together p>
“Sure,” Jodie South immediately agreed, then added, “Oh right, I had people smash the basement you and Poppy Hill lived in as well, but there are some of your things there. Let’s go take a look and collect them, so they don’t get thrown away by mistake p>
Keira Olsen nodded and agreed.
The two of them went to the basement.
The half-basement was very dim, about four square meters, and besides Keira Olsen’s small bed, nothing else could fit.
After Keira Olsen grew up, Poppy Hill moved to the nanny’s room, leaving her to live there alone.
She immediately ran to the bed and pulled out a cardboard box.
When Keira Olsen had left the Olsen Family, Poppy Hill wouldn’t let her take anything with her, so everything in the box had been left behind.
Jodie South looked at how Kiera treasured the box and opened it with a smile. When she saw what was inside, she was suddenly stunned.
Inside, it was all the things she had given to Keira Olsen.
There was a doll that had been cut open and then stitched back together, which Jodie South had given to Keira when she was three years old.
There was a white dress torn into strips, which she had secretly given to Keira on her thirteenth birthday.
There was even a shattered cell phone, which she had given to Keira when she was about to leave the Olsen Family…
As a child, Isla Olsen was very alarming. Whatever she gave to Keira, it would be destroyed by Isla, and Poppy Hill would severely punish Keira.
Jodie South knew all about it, yet every time she scolded Isla, Isla would cry, saying she was afraid Jodie would divide her love for Keira…
So later on, Jodie South stopped giving gifts altogether, afraid it would hurt her.
Tears fell from Jodie South’s eyes, “Keira, do you hate mom p>
“Not at all!” Keira Olsen smiled, “Mom, you know what? I’m so glad Poppy Hill never gave me a proper name, and later, when the police station let me choose any name, I secretly put your surname in my name. Actually, as a child, I always wanted to sing for you p>
Jodie South’s eyes grew even redder as she tightly held Keira’s hand, “Keira, let’s throw all of these away, and mom will make up for the gifts from your first birthday to now p>
She didn’t want to keep the decayed ones, as they would only bring sorrow!
Keira Olsen understood her thoughts and nodded her head, “All of these can be thrown away, but there is one that we can’t p>
She rummaged through the box and pulled out a jade ring.
Jodie South was taken aback when she saw it, “This is p>
The jade ring looked old, and with its high-quality jade, it seemed quite valuable.
Keira Olsen then said, “This was given to me by a big brother p>
When she was separated from that big brother as a child because she was kidnapped, he gave her this jade ring and told her, “If you can’t make it, take this and come find me in Glow Village, Oceanion Cloud Town p>
Keira Olsen had always clung to those words.
Because as a child, whenever she felt like she might die, that was her only hope.
She took out a red string, threaded the ring onto it, and hung it around her neck, then pointed to the things in the room, “Throw the rest away p>
After Keira Olsen’s arrival, Taylor Olsen went to the study.
Their relationship was not as father and daughter, and thus even more awkward.
Keira Olsen stayed downstairs chatting with Jodie South about the room’s decoration, showing great interest and knowing it was going to be her future home. She arranged everything with care and seriousness.
As the night deepened outside, Jodie South urged her to head home, and Keira Olsen reluctantly walked out the door.
But as soon as she stepped out, she saw Lewis Horton’s Bentley parked outside.
Keira Olsen paused slightly and walked over.
Lewis Horton came out of the car and opened the door for her, “I knew you were here, so I came to take you home p>
Keira Olsen smiled lightly.
Lewis Horton spoke softly, “Sorry, tonight I p>
“It’s okay p>
Keira Olsen cut him off mid-sentence.
Lewis Horton pursed his lips tightly and clenched his jaw.
After getting into the car, Lewis Horton still stared blankly ahead.
He had just been to the hospital.
Madeleine Davis really had pointed a piece of fruit at the major artery in her neck, shouting at the doctors, “Don’t come near me, stay back! I just want Lewis p>
And when he arrived, Madeleine Davis looked at him, “Lewis, you promised to marry me! Don’t you know, marrying you is my greatest hope! It is my only reason to live! Now go home and divorce that woman! Otherwise, I’ll kill myself p>
She took a knife and stabbed her neck; the severity of her action was genuine.
Lewis Horton had thought she might be pretending and using their childhood events to emotionally blackmail him, but he had consulted many psychiatrists for her treatment.
They could almost confirm that she wasn’t lying.
The only hope she had for living was him.
Lewis Horton felt the air in the car was oppressively suffocating. He loosened his tie and clenched his fists.
The promises of his childhood weighed on him like a mountain.
He had a wife; he couldn’t marry Madeleine.
Lewis Horton took a deep breath and looked at Keira Olsen, “Why did you suddenly return to the Olsen family p>
Keira Olsen unconsciously touched her neck, “Just came back to get something p>
Her gesture made Lewis Horton notice something new around her neck. He couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “What is it? You seem to treasure it so much that you’ve hidden it away p>
