Chapter 487: Chapter 486 Chapter 487: Chapter 486 He turned his head and saw Kiera Olsen standing there in a gentle nightgown, holding a small birthday cake in her hands, her smile radiating warm cheerfulness.
As he turned his head, time jumped to the early hours of the morning, marking the start of a new day.
Kiera Olsen spoke, “Lewis Horton, happy birthday p>
Her smile was sweet and sincere, making Lewis Horton momentarily dazzled.
He stared at Kiera Olsen bewilderingly, “You know p>
“Of course p>
Kiera Olsen advanced slowly with the cake in hand, “Don’t forget, I have a very good memory. When we registered to get married, I memorized your ID number on the spot p>
Lewis Horton was surprised, “Then today p>
He suddenly realized something, “You did this on purpose p>
Kiera Olsen, barely holding back her laughter, stepped forward again, placing the cake on the coffee table. Then, like a magician pulling out a trick, she took out a small box from her pocket and handed it to him, “This is for you p>
Lewis Horton was taken aback.
He slowly opened the box to find a men’s watch.
The watch was crafted by hand, not digital but an old-fashioned mechanical type, from a very famous brand but a very niche model.
The instant Lewis Horton saw it, he felt a strong liking for it.
“Do you like it p>
After Kiera Olsen asked and saw him nod, she laughed, “I just knew you would like it p>
Lewis Horton chuckled once more.
He promptly wore the watch on his wrist, the clean and strong lines of his arm complementing the watch perfectly, and paired with the black silk pajamas he was wearing at the moment, Kiera Olsen found him quite charming.
Lewis Horton suddenly looked at her, “However, there is another gift I like even more p>
“What is it p>
Just as Kiera Olsen asked, she felt herself enveloped in a firm embrace from the waist and found herself falling into the man’s arms, then felt a ticklish sensation in her ear as the man whispered, “You p>
Kiera Olsen was taken aback!
She tried to push Lewis Horton away, but instead heard him inquire, “When did you buy this p>
“Today, duh. Otherwise, why would I drag you shopping? It was so boring p>
Kiera Olsen had never been one to enjoy shopping for clothes since she preferred to spend her time learning new things.
Lewis Horton laughed again, “I was with you all day today, how did I not notice p>
Kiera Olsen smiled, “Well, that’s because I was behind your back p>
She had her eye on this particular watch model for a while, had called the store in advance to reserve it, and today she simply picked it up while taking advantage of the moment he turned around to slip the watch into a shopping bag.
Lewis Horton asked further, “Have you been teasing me all day p>
“Yes, it’s just so fun watching you want a gift and yet trying to act so nonchalant p>
Kiera Olsen struggled to suppress her laughter.
She remembered several times when he was about to tell her the truth, she deliberately interrupted.
What did she care about others getting cozy in a parking lot? Did they really think she enjoyed making random comments about others? It was just a diversion!
Lewis Horton pinched her waist hard.
Her waist was smooth and slender without an ounce of extra flesh, feeling incredibly smooth to the touch; his large hand seemed to almost wrap around her, feeling a warmth spreading through his palm.
The depth of the man’s eyes grew more profound, “Do you find it fun to tease me p>
Kiera Olsen responded, “The main thing is, giving you a gift directly doesn’t carry the same excitement, does it? By contrast, are you happier now p>
“Yes, happier p>
The man bent down, burying his face in her neck, his voice muffled, “This is the happiest birthday I’ve ever had p>
Kiera Olsen nodded upon hearing this.
Just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly heard the man speak, “However, I could be even happier, Kiera, could you satisfy one small wish of mine p>
“What p>
“My wish is p>
The next moment, amorous sounds emanated from the room.
I’ll never dare to play with this dog of a man again!
The next morning, as Kiera just woke up, she felt a pleasant soreness in her body and couldn’t help but complain to herself in her heart.
When she looked at the man again, he was refreshed and energetic as if he’d been invigorated.
Kiera twitched the corner of her mouth, propped herself up from the bed with her hand on her waist, and then asked, “You’re making an appearance at tonight’s banquet, right p>
Upon hearing this, Lewis Horton glanced at her and said, “Mhm, I can’t delay it any longer p>
The Horton family had been in Clance for three months now, and he, as the head of the family, had been conspicuous by his absence, which could lead to speculation from others.
If he didn’t show up soon, people might even think Jake Horton from the first branch of the family had usurped his position!
Kiera nodded, “Okay p>
Then she opened her mouth again, “I’ll head back to the Olsen family shortly and will go to the banquet with the Olsen family tonight. What about you p>
“I’ll take you to the Olsen family p>
Kiera: p>
After breakfast, Kiera was taken by Lewis Horton to the Olsen family.
When she got out of the car park, Kiera smiled coyly and waved at Lewis Horton, causing the man’s eyes to darken again.
Confronted with his intense gaze, Kiera felt as if she’d been burnt and quickly looked away.
She smiled and then stepped into the Olsen family living room.
Inside the Olsen family living room.
At this moment, all seven Olsen brothers were gathered here. Ellis’s fever had subsided, but since he had been seriously ill, he was still somewhat weak.
Therefore, he sat quietly in the corner, immersed in his own world.
The other six brothers huddled together, whispering:
“Recently, everyone in the circle has been speaking ill of our youngest sister. What should we do p>
“The thing is, our youngest sister has been showing off her love life too outrageously, bringing that driver around everywhere. It’s gotten to the point where everyone in our social circle knows she’s keeping a gigolo p>
“If I were Lewis Horton, I’d have grass growing on top of my head by now p>
“What should we do? I heard yesterday that old Mrs. Horton seems very dissatisfied with our little sister, and these rumors were definitely released by the Hortons themselves–it must be true p>
“How can we persuade our little sister to break up with that gigolo p>
“Is it actually possible… that our little sister would rather break off her engagement with Lewis Horton? After all, she didn’t grow up in the Olsen family, so there’s no need for her to enter into marriage for our sake p>
“Big brother, you’re right! I feel the same way p>
James Olsen jumped out and said, “Since our little sister doesn’t like Lewis Horton, then let’s just go tonight and make it clear to him; let’s call off the marriage between our two families p>
“That said, I think we shouldn’t be hasty; we can wait and see… What if tonight our sister and Lewis Horton hit it off p>
The youngest in the family, Charles Olsen, quietly made this statement.
Amid the discussion, Kiera slowly walked in.
James Olsen coughed, “Big sister, where did your gigolo go p>
“Oh, he went to prepare p>
“Prepare for what p>
“Tonight’s banquet p>
“What p>
James Olsen was dumbfounded, “He’s going too p>
Isn’t that a bit too impolite to the Hortons p>
