Chapter 69
Chapter 71: Chapter 71
Old Mrs. Horton, upon hearing the conversation between the two, also realized something, “My granddaughter-in-law, the person you mentioned visiting today, is that the sister from the Allen Family p>
After returning from the police station, Kiera Olsen paid another visit to Rebecca Allen to see her after her recovery training session, and only then did she come back.
She briefly explained to Old Mrs. Horton who surprisingly remembered the details.
Kiera looked at her and felt that, indeed, her illness hadn’t worsened recently; instead, there were signs of improvement.
The medication needed to be urgently researched, preferably to help Old Mrs. Horton remember the truth about her marriage to Lewis Horton.
Lewis Horton, who had been listening to their conversation, had the corners of his lips slightly raised, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.
So it turned out that Frankie Allen had mistaken someone else for another.
He suddenly spoke up, “Miss Olsen, there’s a celebration banquet between the Horton Group and the Allen Family the day after tomorrow night, and I happen to need a female companion. Are you interested p>
Kiera Olsen didn’t even look up, “Not interested p>
Only then did Kiera turn to look at him, her amorous eyes gleaming reluctantly, “Fine, I will p>
Old Mrs. Horton looked surprised, “You brat, you’re willing to reconcile with the Allen Family p>
Lewis Horton hummed indifferently, changing the subject, “What did you have for lunch today p>
“I had rice, chicken soup, and celery p>
Tom Davis, who was nearby, couldn’t help but glance at his boss.
The boss had never shown any interest in reconciling with that mother he had never met.
That’s why the news of his clash with Frankie Allen was publicized as mere business. In fact, in this cooperation, Frankie had shown goodwill numerous times, which the boss had ignored, clearly indicating he wanted no interaction with them beyond business.
So that comment just now was simply to charm Miss Olsen into being his companion?
Tom Davis wore a contemplative expression.
After dinner, Kiera Olsen was going to walk the dog.
She attached the leash to the Shiba Inu named Kitten and stepped out with it.
Tom Davis seemed to be heading downstairs to retrieve some documents and ended up descending the stairs with her.
Walking side by side, Tom Davis suddenly asked with a smile, “Miss Olsen, what kind of man do you like p>
Even though Miss Olsen had a boyfriend eager to marry her, as long as she was unmarried, the boss had a chance!
He had to get the information for the boss to facilitate stealing her from that boyfriend!
Upon hearing this, Kiera Olsen was momentarily stunned.
To be honest, having seen how love-struck Poppy Hill had insisted on staying at the Olsen Family home from a young age, she had developed an aversion to love and marriage, thus rejecting the pursuits of many men.
Fearing that she would lose herself once she fell in love.
And she’d never given much thought to what her future partner would be like…
But when Tom Davis posed that question, the first thing that flashed across her mind was the handsome face of Lewis Horton.
She spoke without thinking, “Handsome appearance, one meter eighty-five in height, seventy-five kilograms in weight, deep and pleasant voice when speaking, meticulous in thought, exceptionally good at scolding people p>
Tom Davis’s eyes brightened as he listened, You might as well just say the boss’s name!
So Miss Olsen and the boss were mutually attracted?
Kiera Olsen, noticing the expression on his face, instantly realized what she had said and quickly changed the subject, with “seldom speaks, cold” on her lips turning into, “…kind and warm, good at telling jokes, a real warm-hearted man p>
Tom Davis: p>
A warm-hearted man, isn’t that too far-fetched from the boss?
He’s notorious for his chilling demeanor!
Kiera Olsen, seeing his reaction change, breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling her cheeks warm up, she found the Shiba Inu walking too slowly and picked up the dog, hurrying down the stairs.
Tom Davis sighed, feeling the boss was out of luck.
He turned to head back to the hospital room, but he froze as he turned around.
But Lewis Horton was already standing behind him, unnoticed until that moment!
The dim lights of the hallway cast half-bright, half-shadowed upon the man’s cheeks, lending him a somewhat lonely air.
Clearly, he had overheard the entire conversation with Miss Olsen!
He coughed and awkwardly scratched his head, “Well, Mr. Horton, you could actually try smiling more at Miss Olsen p>
“… You talk too much p>
Lewis Horton reprimanded him with that remark, walking past and swiftly descending the stairs.
Night had fallen, and under a streetlamp, a girl knelt, petting a dog.
With her head bowed, watching the small Shiba Inu, her usual sharp demeanor was replaced with a rare tenderness.
Lewis Horton walked slowly towards her, stopping in front of her.
As she became aware of his shadow, she looked up.
The moment her gaze met his, the corners of Lewis Horton’s lips moved slightly, attempting what he thought was a gentle smile.
However, when Kiera Olsen stood up and glanced at him tentatively, she asked, “Mr. Horton, is your mouth twitching p>
Lewis Horton: p>
He slowly let his smile fade, and as he saw the girl visibly relax, a few lines of frustration appeared on his forehead. He took a deep breath and said, “Old Mrs. Horton asked me to accompany you in walking the dog p>
“Alright p>
The clumsy little Shiba Inu ran ahead towards the park, with both of them closely following behind.
A sudden cold breeze blew, making Kiera Olsen shiver.
The temperature had dropped sharply today, and she was unprepared for it.
As she rubbed her arms and thought about heading back inside, a large coat exuding warmth was suddenly draped over her shoulders.
Kiera Olsen stiffened for a moment, then turned her head slowly to see Lewis Horton standing there in his shirt, his gaze diverted and looking a bit uneasy.
Kiera Olsen’s eyes curved into a smile, “Thanks p>
“You’re welcome,” said Lewis Horton in a neutral tone. “Mainly, I didn’t want you catching a cold and then passing it on to grandma p>
Kiera Olsen could not help but laugh quietly to herself.
She thought this man was the most stubborn with his words.
Amid the awkwardness, suddenly, a voice came, “Mr. Horton p>
Kiera Olsen turned and saw Frankie Allen standing in the park, his face dark with displeasure upon seeing her.
Kiera Olsen:?
Lewis Horton frowned and stepped in front of Kiera Olsen, “What is it p>
“Can I have a word with you p>
Frankie Allen cast another deep look at Kiera Olsen, then walked to the side.
He looked upset.
When he returned to the hospital room earlier, he heard on the side that his sister had indeed been greatly affected by the comment of being a “love-struck fool” from a bystander during her first call for help.
Even during the surgery, his sister had almost lost her will to live because of these words!
So, he was furious!
When Lewis Horton approached, Frankie Allen asked with a frown, “What is your relationship with Miss Olsen p>
Lewis Horton responded coldly, “Mr. Allen, that’s none of your business p>
Frankie Allen took a deep breath, “Regardless, you are my aunt’s son, and since you seem unusually close to her, I thought I’d remind you out of concern for you. You better open your eyes; this woman is no good p>
“Our families have nothing to do with each other, Mr. Allen, so there’s no need for you to worry about me p>
Lewis Horton’s voice grew colder, emphatically stating, “Besides, I think the person who needs to open his eyes is you, isn’t it p>
Frankie Allen was taken aback, “What do you mean p>
