My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

131 Keira’s Husband?

Mrs. Olsen was slightly taken aback.

She then realized that if Keira hadn’t left, he was actually just in time.

Taylor frowned. “He’s here now. What’s there to panic

about?”

The nanny smiled awkwardly. “I was just a bit scared,

that’s all.”

Isla snickered. “You’re too timid. How intimidating can her husband be to scare you like that? Dad, Mom, let’s go and see for ourselves.”

She linked her arm through Jake’s and followed behind Taylor and Mrs. Olsen toward the front door.

Once there, they all frowned upon seeing the man i

front of them.

They saw a tall man standing there, wearing work clothes. He was dirty all over and covered in mud. His face was wiped clean, revealing delicate and deep features, but his hair was a mess. He had clearly just

His eyes lit up slightly when he saw them. “Excuse me, is this Keira Olsen’s home?”

Scott Martin was an expatriate who had just returned to Crera to work on real estate projects this year. He didn’t understand Crera’s culture very well, let alone why, when he had knocked on the door and said he wanted to return Keira’s umbrella, the nanny turned and ran upon hearing him.

His Creran was a bit awkward, making it

uncomfortable to listen to.

Isla’s frown deepened. “What dialect is that? Why is his accent so heavy?”

Jake also showed a disdainful look.

The man in front of them had a decent face, w deep, thick brows and large eyes. He had a bit of an charm, but his clothes clearly showed he work

No wonder she clung to Lewis and wouldn’t let go.

After he and Isla showed their disdain, Mrs. Olsen promptly said, “Yes, are you here to pick up Keira? She’s already left.”

“Left?”

Scott was slightly perplexed. “She’s not here? Sorry, I’ll come another day.”

He nodded and was about to leave when Isla suddenly

said, “Wait a moment.”

Scott turned back and looked at her, puzzled.

Isla approached him. “Hello, I’m Keira’s half-sister. Why don’t we add each other on WhatsApp? It would be easier to contact you in case anything comes up. After all, we’re family now.”

Scott immediately nodded. “Sure, I have WhatsA

He had applied for an account upon returning to country and barely had any contacts.

He happily took out his phone, scanned Isla’s QR co to add her as a friend, and then said in his awkward

Creran, “We can keep in touch anytime.”

“Okay.”

After leaving his contact information, Scott nodded to Mrs. Olsen and Taylor, then regretfully walked away with the small blue umbrella in hand.

Taylor snorted, “I thought she had married some impressive person. Now we can’t even tell her off as we used to when she was at home. Is this all there is to

her?”

Mrs. Olsen immediately looked at him. “Taylor, don’t judge a book by its cover. Keira and her husband are still young. They have potential for the future!”

Taylor muttered softly, “A common blue collar. What future is there in that?”

Mrs. Olsen wanted to say more, but Isla chuckled. “Dad, you can’t say that. Maybe if Keira is willing to support him financially, he could become a c

Mrs. Olsen immediately frowned. “Isla, watch yo mouth!”

You’ve invited many classmates and joked about bringing family members. Keira will definitely be there, so we should make sure her family gets the invitation too, right?”

After saying this, she showed him her phone.

She messaged Scott on WhatsApp. “Tomorrow we have a class reunion. You should come too!”

Scott replied, “Will Keira be there?”

she returned to her own bedroom.

She sat quietly on the sofa, staring blankly into the air.

Because of her poor health, she neglected Isla’s discipline, and now her daughter had become unrecognizable.

It was her fault…

While she was thinking about it, there was noise from outside. Aunt South had returned.

She warmed up herself before going into Mrs. Olsen’s room so as not to bring in the cold air and risk Mrs. Olsen catching a relapse of her cough.

Mrs. Olsen immediately stood up and asked, “How did

the DNA test results turn out?”

Mrs. Olsen asked with a bit of urgency.

She didn’t know what result she wanted.

She was even less aware of what the future held. All she knew was that she urgently wanted to clarify whether Keira and Taylor were related!

After all, the amniocentesis Poppy had undergone. should have been impossible to fake.

So how could Poppy’s daughter not be Taylor’s

daughter?

Unless…

A thought flickered through her mind.

As Mrs. Olsen was pondering, she heard Aunt South’s

voice.

“Madam, what’s the rush? The normal testing period is three days.”

“Right.”

Mrs. Olsen felt a little disappointed. The epiphany that had sparked in her mind was now gone because of the

32:53

1/10

interruption.

Forget it. She would wait for the results.

Keira had no idea that such drama had unfolded at the

Olsen family’s doorstep.

At this moment, she had returned to the small villa in the Horton family compound, to her own bedroom. She had already messaged Lewis to tell him she was back, and there was no need for him to come and pick

her up.

But Lewis hadn’t replied to her message.

At first, Keira didn’t think much of it, but when it was midnight and there was still no message on her WhatsApp, she couldn’t help but glance at her phone.

She was usually a calm person; she never fretted when someone didn’t reply to her messages.

But this time…

Had Lewis run into some trouble?

She suddenly felt a little concerned, so she took out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Tom. “Is

1263

2/10

Mr. Horton still busy?”

Tom immediately replied, “Yes, it’s a bit troublesome.”

Keira said, “If there’s anything I can help with, just let

me know.”

Tom said, “Well, this isn’t really something you can

interfere with.”

Keira asked, “Why?”

Tom said, “I dare not say it. You should ask the boss when you have time.”

Keira frowned when she saw the last message.

What kind of matter couldn’t be mentioned?

She slightly tilted her head.

Could it be that Lewis had a mistress on the side?

The thought seemed ridiculous to her.

For some time now, Lewis had been spending almost every evening with old Mrs. Horton, and she was there too. Even when she was slandered as a murderer and locked up, Lewis spent those nights…

Oh, wait, that wasn’t right. The night she was

3:10

Was there any connection between these two days?

Keira shook her head and decided to stop thinking

about it.

She just lay down and went to sleep.

The next day, Keira slept in until nine o’clock before getting up. Pushing open the door, she saw Fiona and old Mrs. Horton sitting on the couch.

She casually walked over and asked, “Has Mr. Horton gone to work?”

Fiona hesitated.

Keira asked, “What’s the matter?”

Fiona cleared her throat and glanced at old Mrs.

Horton before speaking. “Well, Mr. Horton didn’t come back last night.”

Keira frowned.

She took out her phone, only to find out that her WhatsApp message hadn’t been replied to.

She tensed her jaw.

Old Mrs. Horton immediately picked up her phone upon seeing this. “What’s that brat up to? He didn’t

two making a baby?”

Keira was speechless.

No sooner had old Mrs. Horton dialed out than a ringtone rang out outside the door.

Everyone looked up to see Lewis stride in.

He appeared to have gone without sleep all night, with a hint of weariness in his eyes and a touch of redness

in his eyes.

He was now pulling out a mobile phone from his pocket, saw it was old Mrs. Horton calling, hung up, and then said, “Sorry, I’m back for a shower and a change of clothes.”

After he hung up, he seemed to notice the message from Keira on WhatsApp, so he looked at her, “Sorry, I didn’t look at my phone last night.”

Too busy to look at his phone all night…

What was he busy with?

Although Keira was somewhat curious, she nodded all

the same.

5.10

She was never one to make a fuss.

Lewis started walking to the bedroom, but then he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked toward

Keira.

She was wearing a casual blazer and slim-fit jeans today, looking more formal than usual-it was clear she was heading out.

He asked, “Are you… going out for something?”

“Yes, it’s…” Keira saw his tired face and swallowed the part about Professor Miller’s birthday. “There’s a bit of a situation at the company. I need to go there for a bit.”

She and Samuel had a company that was recently busy with the IPO, which Lewis knew about, so he nodded and left her with, “If you need help, just ask,” before entering the bedroom.

Keira wasn’t exactly lying.

After having breakfast, she did go to the company where there were documents needing her signature and some work waiting for her attention.

She used to handle these once a week.

6/10

It had been busy recently, and things had piled up quite a bit, so she was busy until half past eleven before heading to Professor Miller’s birthday celebration after finishing up.

Lewis took a quick shower and then lay on the sofa to catch up on a couple of hours of sleep.

He didn’t set an alarm; his strong self-discipline meant he woke up precisely at eleven, changed into a new suit, readied himself, and headed out.

It was then he realized that Isla and Jake were also there, chatting with old Mrs. Horton.

Lewis originally didn’t want to bother with them, but just as he was about to leave, he heard Isla’s voice deliberately raised. “Grandma, later we’re going to Professor Miller’s birthday. Jake and I will attend his celebration. Keira is going too, oh, and her husband is also going.”

Lewis immediately stopped in his tracks.

Her husband was going too?

How come he didn’t know?

7:10

His brows twisted in a frown. He halted, turned to pour a glass of water, and wasn’t in a rush to leave

anymore.

As expected, without him needing to say a word, old Mrs. Horton spoke up. “That brat is going too? Then why didn’t you leave with my granddaughter-in-law!”

Isla said, “Great-grandma, you must be mistaken. Keira isn’t your granddaughter-in-law. She’s married with a husband. Yesterday Jake and I saw him at the Olsen

house!”

Lewis, drinking water, was perplexed.

He suddenly frowned, his gaze turning sharp as he looked at her, a domineering pressure immediately bearing down.

Isla could feel the fury too. Standing up to that

intimidating look, she said, “Mr. Horton, it’s true. Her husband is a construction worker. He works on the building site, and he’ll be going to the class reunion as

well.”

A construction worker? Working on the building site?

Lewis felt like he could hardly breathe. Was this how

12:13

He suddenly realized that when he asked Keira where she was going today, she had hesitated before

replying… It was obvious that she was worried she might disturb his rest.

He hadn’t accompanied her to the Olsen house last

night, and today’s class reunion was sure to be another affair full of comparisons.

Lewis asked, “Where is the gathering?”

Isla promptly said, “It’s arranged by Jake, at the Emperor Palace Hotel.”

Lewis grabbed his suit jacket and turned to leave.

Getting into the car, the driver asked, “Sir, where to?”

“Emperor Palace Hotel.”

Keira had been dealing with some documents in the office, and by the time she finished, it was already eleven o’clock. Samuel had an engagement at the Emperor Palace Hotel, so the two went together.

Underground parking garage.

Samuel grabbed the driver’s side door, looking unsurely at Keira. “Boss, are you sure you’re driving?”

Keira raised an eyebrow. “Got a problem?”

Of course, Samuel wouldn’t say anything.

He walked to the passenger seat with great inner conflict, then buckled up his seatbelt with a look of despair.

Keira sat excitedly in the driver’s seat, starting the car.

The intense roaring sound of the sports car echoed in the underground garage, making Samuel cringe and close his eyes.

Then, he felt the car shake violently for a moment before it slowly started moving.

He wished he could shrink into his seat so no one

would see his face.

Embarrassing!

So embarrassing!

Who would drive a sports car at thirty miles per hour?

He quietly turned his head to look at Keira, who was driving carefully. “Boss, aren’t you in a hurry?”

“Nope.”

Keira said, “The birthday banquet doesn’t start until twelve, and it’s just a five-kilometer journey from here to the Emperor Palace Hotel, An hour is more than enough.”

Samuel twitched the corner of his mouth. “Boss, don’t you think… you’re driving too slowly?”

Keira looked seriously ahead. “It’s much faster than walking. I’m not on a highway, and besides, I lack iron in my system. I usually need to pay attention to safety. What if there’s a car accident?”

Turning her head and seeing that Samuel hadn’t gotten out of the car, she went around to the passenger side and opened the door. “Mr. Morgan, aren’t you getting

He hurried up the stairs.

Keira went to the elevator entrance and waited for the elevator.

Suddenly, someone spoke up. “Keira Olsen?”

Keira turned around in surprise, only to see a college peer, Charles Riley, standing next to her, also waiting for the elevator.

When Charles saw her turn around, a flash of shock passed through his eyes. “It really is you!”

Keira nodded, greeting him. “Hello.”

Charles was a bit surprised.

Keira was truly stunning. Even in college where she was a loner and didn’t interact much, she was voted the campus belle. But she rarely communicated with her classmates. Even if someone greeted her, she would just nod and leave as if nothing happened.
