Chapter 307
Chapter 309: Chapter 308 Chapter 309: Chapter 308 There was a little lock on the notebook, but the key was not in the box.
Keira Olsen took the notebook upstairs, entered the bedroom, and was about to close the door when she realized that Lewis Horton was following her.
Keira Olsen almost forgot about this jerk.
Lewis Horton spoke, “Finding the key might be difficult p>
“Who said I was looking for the key p>
Keira Olsen pulled out scissors from nearby, snipped twice, and directly cut off the part of the notebook connected to the lock.
Lewis Horton: p>
Keira Olsen opened the notebook, found it intact, and sighed in relief.
But she didn’t immediately look at what her sister had left behind; instead, she turned to Lewis Horton, “Mr. Horton, aren’t you planning to leave? Trespassing is illegal, you know p>
Lewis Horton stepped forward, coming right up to her.
The man suddenly bent over, lowered his head, and hugged her tightly. His head buried into her neck, his breath tingling against her skin, making her itch, feeling as though ants were crawling all over, disrupting her heart.
She pushed Lewis Horton, pretending to be Keera, “Mr. Horton, don’t do this p>
Lewis Horton then spoke, “Don’t do what? The last time at the Oceanion hotel, you didn’t refuse me like this p>
Keira Olsen’s body stiffened.
Lewis Horton touched her cheek, “Keira, that time, I undid your clothes like this p>
With a yank at her waist, her robe immediately fell to the floor.
Keira Olsen’s pupils constricted, and she instinctively tried to cover herself, but Lewis Horton grabbed her arm, “You didn’t refuse me last time either p>
He bent down, pressing against Keira Olsen, step by step they reached the bed, his heated breath quickening her heartbeat.
Yet the man made no further move, only stopping at her neck, “Keira, are you really so cruel as to not acknowledge me p>
His voice was full of grievance, bewilderment, and confusion.
It was pitiful.
Keira Olsen knew she couldn’t hide it.
She slowly lowered her gaze.
After a moment, she chuckled lightly, pushed Lewis Horton away, and then put on her robe, “Even if we acknowledge each other, what then p>
Hearing this, Lewis Horton, seeing her finally admit, stood shocked in place.
He chuckled softly, yet tears welled up in his eyes.
He was sure that the person in front of him was his old flame, but as long as Keira Olsen didn’t admit it, he remained fearful, afraid of having mistaken someone else.
So, he kept coming to find her.
Watching her from afar countless times.
Seeing her seamlessly play the role of Keera, there were moments when he doubted if he had indeed mistaken someone else.
Until this moment.
His hanging heart finally settled.
It was her…
Indeed, it was her…
He was about to say something when he saw Keira Olsen turned away from him, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions and unwillingness, “You can’t bear to see your old flame die, and I can’t be like other women, tolerating your flirting. Since it’s like this, why bother fixating on who I really am? Aren’t we still going to get divorced p>
Divorce?
The joyful expression on Lewis Horton’s face stiffened.
Then he quickly realized what was happening and couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Keira didn’t acknowledge him because of this?
His eyes reddened, yet he started to laugh.
He then stepped forward, took Keira Olsen’s hand in his right, and led her hand to touch something cool in his left.
Keira Olsen, frowning, was about to pull her hand away, but suddenly felt something cool and took a closer look, only to freeze.
Wasn’t this the ring she had sent to that young man?
The ring was made of jade, its green color clearly indicating its worth. How did it end up in Lewis Horton’s hand?
Her brow furrowed, and then she heard Lewis Horton slowly start,
“When I was a child, I was kidnapped by human traffickers. A four-year-old Little Bun tried to help me… It wasn’t until I received this ring that I realized I had been blind all these years, mistaking someone else. My Little Bun, I never found her; all these years, she’s been suffering p>
Keira Olesen’s eyes turned red, and her throat felt choked up.
She looked at Lewis Horton, suddenly feeling at a loss, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh.
After a moment, she calmed herself down, “When did you receive the ring p>
Lewis Horton kept his gaze on her, “On the day you had the accident p>
He had wanted to surprise her, but it unexpectedly left her with pain and regret when she withdrew.
He couldn’t breathe from pain just thinking about her suffocation at that moment on the boat, believing she was about to divorce him,
even up to today, this moment, right now!
He was still annoyed and regretful, wondering why he hadn’t just explained things clearly over the phone instead of fussing over some messy surprise…
Keira felt the tremble in his body and suddenly understood his feelings.
She reached out her arms and hugged him.
What responded to her was a fervent, trembling kiss…
The clothes she had just put on slid off again…
Both of them were inarticulate people; they could only use actions to express their joy and passion after the mutual recognition…
The night grew deep, and the white gauze curtains fluttered in the wind.
When Keira woke up the next day, it was already 10 a.m p>
Startled, she first hastily glanced at the man lying beside her, then immediately jumped out of bed, ran out, and opened the bedroom door, only to see Mary Davis sitting on the living room sofa downstairs, playing with her phone.
A maid was mopping the floor.
Keira exclaimed, “Where is Amy p>
Mary Davis looked up at her slyly, smiling, “Knowing you wouldn’t wake up today, I sent her to early education p>
Keira:?
Just as she was puzzling over it, Mary Davis cheekily approached and said straightforwardly, “Keera, not bad! I was wondering why you finally agreed to divorce that jerk Howard, turns out there’s another romance blooming! Last night was really intense p>
Keira’s cheeks instantly flushed.
Thinking about the thrill from last night, she felt somewhat embarrassed…
Mainly because she hadn’t expected Lewis Horton, usually so reserved, to have such variety… She couldn’t help but cry out when she leaned against the door…
Keira quickly halted the colored waste in her mind, trying hard to forget the details of last night, and coughed, “Well, I p>
But Mary Davis interrupted her, speaking seriously, “Keera, no need to explain, I understand. It was Howard who cheated first, there’s nothing wrong with you finding a gigolo p>
Then she added, “But you should still restrain yourself a bit more in the future, there’s a long way to go! Don’t ever grind an iron bar into a needle p>
“Pff p>
Keira was drinking water, and when she heard that last sentence, she spat it out.
Mary Davis dodged disgustedly, then her phone vibrated intensely again.
Keira drank some water, went to the kitchen, took a sandwich made by the maid, and ate while hearing Mary Davis mutter, “Keera, the weather in Clance is changing fast p>
Keira was startled, “How so p>
“Today, the Horton Family from Oceanion announced they’re moving into Clance! They’ve been setting up here for a month already. They’re the richest family from Oceanion, not inferior to any of the five major families of Clance in heritage. Their arrival will likely change the landscape here p>
Lewis Horton had told her last night about his venture into Clance.
He wasn’t leaving.
So Keira didn’t react much, just listened as Mary Davis continued, “They say the Family Head, Lewis Horton, isn’t even thirty yet, but he’s already on par with the heads of the five major families. Impressive… although, it doesn’t really concern me p>
After that comment, the master bedroom door suddenly opened.
Lewis Horton was particularly meticulous and had a cleanliness fetish; since he wouldn’t wear yesterday’s clothes, Keira had no choice but to find a set of home clothes that Howard had never worn for him.
At the moment, Lewis Horton wore a white short-sleeve shirt and cotton pants that were too short, looking like a college student or a puppy instead of the usually composed and imposing man he was.
Seeing his face, Mary Davis’s eyes lit up, she sneakily nudged Keira and whispered, “Keera, nice taste! Which school is he from? This gigolo is way better than that scum Howard p>
Keira: p>
She, along with Mary Davis, admiringly gazed at Lewis Horton at that moment.
Before, this man was always in suits, which suppressed his good looks, but now his hair was messy and his face truly exquisite.
She didn’t speak, but the whimsical Mary Davis approached him, “Young man, do take good care of my sister, know that? If you do well, you might really marry into a wealthy family, land on the rich list p>
Lewis Horton’s expression stiffened.
Mary Davis then asked, “By the way, what’s your name p>
