My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 111-115

111 Hug for a Moment

Keira’s eyes shone faintly, her voice soft lest she startle the old lady. “Then, how did we get our marriage certificate?”

Old Mrs. Horton said with a smile. “I remember that day. You wore a red sweater…”

A red sweater?

Keira paused slightly. Indeed, she had a red sweater, which she bought three years ago during New Year. She stayed alone in her rented room. She wanted to dress joyfully, so it wouldn’t feel so lonely.

And sure enough, that was the sweater she was wearing in the marriage certificate photo.

Old Mrs. Horton continued. “That brat was wearing a black suit, and off you two went to get your

certificate!”

Keira frowned.

The courthouse had said that getting married definitely required the presence of both parties. What

old Mrs. Horton said meant Keira had indeed obtained

a marriage certificate with Lewis two years ago.

Why didn’t she or Lewis know about it?

It couldn’t be something as melodramatic as both of them having amnesia, could it?

Besides, she had a good memory. She clearly remembered everything she had done two years ago!

Keira continued. “How did we meet?”

Old Mrs. Horton looked at her earnestly. “Of course, it was because of me…”

“What did you do?”

Keira asked the question, but old Mrs. Horton yawned, and her gaze went from confused to clear. “Oh my, granddaughter-in-law, what are you doing up so

early?”

Keira hadn’t managed to get the crucial information, but it wasn’t a total loss. At least she now knew their marriage had indeed been orchestrated by the old lady, but what exactly the old lady had done, Keira didn’t

know.

She might as well wait until the clinical medication was ready and cure the old lady’s illness before

discussing it further.

Keira sighed, “Grandma, it’s time for breakfast.”

After old Mrs. Horton had freshened up, both of them sat in the dining room.

The Horton family’s housekeeper had prepared a very abundant breakfast. Keira and old Mrs. Horton chatted while waiting for Lewis.

“That brat is so tall. I think he might be over six feet three.”

Old Mrs. Horton gestured with her hand, “He’s half a meter taller than me!”

Keira smiled. “Yes, he should be that tall.”

She wasn’t short herself and stood at one five feet si but every time she stood beside Lewis, she still felt petite.

As the two were chatting, a freshly groomed Lewis

came out.

Old Mrs. Horton simply asked, “Brat, how tall are you?”

The man looked puzzled, his gaze falling on Keira.

“What’s up?”

Keira raised her eyebrows. “Just give it to me.”

Stunned, Lewis pressed his lips together, not speaking.

Old Mrs. Horton then said, “Brat, do as your wife says!”

Lewis lowered his gaze slightly and said to Keira, “Then why don’t you stand up?”

Keira obediently stood up.

She had thought he just wanted to see how much taller he was than her, but to her surprise, the next moment, he stepped forward, wrapping his arm around her waist, and pulling her into an embrace.

Keira was dumbfounded.

Her brain buzzed for a moment.

He must have just finished working out. Even thr her clothes, she could feel the resilience of the muscles on his chest. He had just taken a shower. H hair was still dripping, and his damp skin had the grassy scent of the shower gel.

Keira’s face flushed. Puzzled, she looked up only to see the man looking down at her intently. “Is this okay?”

“Shall I continue?”

Keira was perplexed.

Her brain had crashed for several seconds before she

finally realized what was happening and pushed Lewis away in embarrassment. “I mean give me your height, not this…”

Lewis then realized his blunder, and his ears instantly turned red.

Old Mrs. Horton burst into laughter beside them. “This is better, much better than a number… Hug more when you’re free. I’d like to have a great-grand

on the other side of old Mrs. Horton, a voice rang out. “You’ve just come home, so we’ve come to join you for breakfast!”

The voice arrived before the people did.

Turning their heads, they saw Jake Horton’s mother, Melissa Knight, walk in with a smile.

Following her came Lewis’s father, Nathan, Jake’s father and Lewis’s older brother, Oliver, Jake, and Isla.

Once they entered, Fiona immediately arranged for the servants to get busy.

New tableware was brought out from the kitchen one after another and placed on the dining table.

Nathan took a seat directly opposite the long dini table from old Mrs. Horton, which was considered secondary position of honor.

Oliver sat in the first seat below him, and Jake naturally sat beside him…

Melissa approached Keira and said with a smile, “Miss Olsen, could you please make some room?”

Keira paused, and before she knew it, Melissa had already moved her cutlery toward the next chair.

111 Hug for a Moment

Before old Mrs. Horton could speak up, Melissa was already holding her hand, grinning.

“Granny, I come with good news today!”

Hearing this, Keira glanced subconsciously at Isla’s stomach. Was it this sort of good news?

While pondering, old Mrs. Horton also asked, “What good news?”

Melissa gestured for Isla to come to her side, and Isla moved closer. “Isla has made a big contribution to the police department, and the department wants to give her a public commendation! For the Horton family, this is definitely good news!”

A prestigious family like the Hortons valued reputa

above all.

Having a heroic daughter-in-law with a positive im was hugely beneficial for them.

Isla smiled and said, “I was just doing what I should.”

But Melissa shook her head, “That’s not how you should see it. You’ve done splendidly this time. I’ll have the Horton Group’s PR team promote this matter.

You’ll marry Jake in glory! In the future, you’ll be his

lawful wife! The hostess of this family!”

Isla’s eyes immediately lit up, and her heart bloomed with joy.

She hadn’t expected that Connor would bring her such

honor!

With a sense of triumph, she glanced at Keira and then chuckled. “Auntie, thank you for your kindness.”

Melissa’s tone suddenly took a turn. “You deserve it. With such a positive image, you’ll represent Jake whenever you step out. It’s a good investment for the family.”

After that, she looked at Keira, smiled, and added, “Lewis, your wife has been studying abroad for th past two years. She doesn’t need to rush back. Le take care of family affairs. The police have given honors, and the public has given good reviews. Sh comes from a decent background, and since she’s presentable, our Horton family will support her…”

Lewis didn’t say a word.

Melissa then made room. “Come, Isla, sit here! Keep your great-grandmother company for the meal.”

After that, she seemed to remember something and looked toward Keira. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. I’ve overlooked Miss Olsen, our guest. But you wouldn’t mind, right?”

Keira didn’t say anything.

At that moment, her phone chimed.

Keira took a look and discovered it was Josh from Twitter sending her a message. “Ms. S. I’ve discovered a secret! Isla isn’t the hero who exposed Connor. She’s in cahoots with him. I have evidence! I’m going to release it soon!”

Josh was stubborn and felt that he must uncover the truth behind anything that seemed unreasonable.»

That was the case with Keira before.

And now, it was the same with Isla.

Keira smiled, thinking it was for the best to let it all come out, lest Isla really believed she was some kind of self-proclaimed hero.

No sooner had she put away her phone than she heard Isla’s falsely sympathetic voice. “Auntie, it’s not that

Keira is ignoring you, it’s just her personality. Please don’t take it to heart…”

Keira was perplexed.

She turned her head to find Melissa’s face darkened, retorting upon hearing those words. “Miss Olsen, didn’t your mother teach you to be polite when visiting someone’s home? It’s disrespectful to ignore someone when they’re speaking to you.”

Opposite them, Lewis glanced over with a frown. He was about to speak when that dazzling woman looked

up languidly and said, “What did you just say?”

Melissa simply sneered. “I said, Isla should sit next to Mrs. Horton. She has a lot to tell her after all. You don’t mind, do you?”
