My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

221 See You Again

Keira looked up upon hearing this. She was about to give her name but stopped herself.

Then, she raised an eyebrow and said, “Sir, there are some things that I find hard to say to familiar people, but strangely, I can open up to a stranger. How about we make a deal and not pry into each other’s private affairs?”

Uncle Olsen burst into hearty laughter, feeling that this young lady was very much to his liking!

“Deal.”

Neither of them was good with words, but they both had an understanding when it came to eating. They reached for the same dish at the same time.

After the meal, Uncle Olsen wiped the corner of his mouth. “You bought me dinner, so I must treat you to one in return.”

“No problem,” Keira smiled.

“Then let’s do it in two days, Uncle Olsen suggested, looking at her. “I’m returning to Clance in two days.

How about I invite your whole family to a farewell banquet right here? I can see for myself what your mother is really like.”

Keira laughed. “Sure!”

Mrs. Olsen was always spontaneous, and Keira knew without asking that her mother would agree.

“See you later.”

Keira waved her hand, stood up to pay the bill, and

then went out to take a taxi.

After she left, Uncle Olsen waited in his original spot for a while before chuckling to himself.

If Ellis were here, he’d be shocked!

In the last twenty years, Uncle Olsen hadn’t smiled more than three times!

Uncle Olsen looked around the dining table, thought about the enjoyable meal he’d just had with the young woman, and eventually left the restaurant reluctantly

to return to his hotel.

No sooner had he entered than he saw Ellis working while eating takeout.

Uncle Olsen was about to walk past him but suddenly came back to stare at him, thinking of the girl’s face which closely resembled her mother’s, and suddenly asked, “Your father, or your second uncle, do either of

them have an illegitimate daughter outside?”

Ellis almost choked on his food. “Uncle, what kind of joke is that?”

“I saw a young girl today who looked a lot like your grandmother.”

Ellis’s mouth twitched. “There are plenty of people in the world who look alike. Uncle, you’re really

overthinking it! Instead of suspecting my dad and my second uncle, you might as well consider whether you have any children you don’t know about!”

Uncle Olsen was speechless.

Keira didn’t return to the Horton family but took a t to the Olsen family to find her mom.

She hadn’t seen Mrs. Olsen all day and missed her dearly.

Standing outside Olsen residence again, Keira felt

10:58

221 See You Again

differently.

In the past, she thought of this place as hell, from where she needed to escape

But standing there today, she felt it was home because her mother was there…

Keira pushed open the door, then was shocked.

She saw the tidy courtyard cluttered with many items, with large packing boxes being sorted by the housekeepers, who were putting things inside.

When the housekeepers saw Keira, they immediately smiled. “Good to see you, Miss!”

Keira felt a warmth in her heart.

She quickly made her way past them into the living room, where she saw Mrs. Olsen sitting on the sofa, looking at a piece of paper. Her eyes lit up when she saw Keira. “Keira, come quickly…”

Keira walked over and leaned beside her, only to see that she was holding a renovation blueprint. “I had them demolish the upstairs room that belonged to Isla. We’ll replace it with decorations you like. That way, you can bring Lewis over to stay occasionally.”

Keira’s eyes immediately filled with tears.

This morning, when she returned from discharging her mother from the hospital, Keira glanced upstairs…

Isla’s room and traces of her presence were

everywhere in the villa…

At that moment, she didn’t think much about it, but little did she expect Mrs. Olsen would know all about

it…

She held Mrs. Olsen’s arm. “Mom, you are the best

mom in the world! I really like the renovation designs

on this blueprint!”

Mrs. Olsen patted her head. “Silly child, this is all because I owe you… What did you have for dinner tonight?”

Keira chuckled. “I met a very interesting uncle today and treated him to dinner. He said he’d treat us

“Sure.”

As expected, Mrs. Olsen agreed immediately and th added. “By the way, the basement where you and Poppy Hill used to live, I had it demolished today. But

them up so that they don’t accidentally throw them

away…”

Keira nodded.

The two went down to the basement.

The semi-basement was very dim and about four square meters big, which was too small to fit anything

besides Keira’s small bed.

After Keira grew up, Poppy moved to the

housekeeper’s quarters, leaving Keira alone in that

space.

She immediately ran to the bed and pulled out a

cardboard box.

When Keira left the Olsen family, Poppy didn’t allow her to take anything, so the contents of the box

remained behind.

Mrs. Olsen looked at how. Keira cherished that box al

laughed as she opened it, but when she saw what was inside, she was suddenly stunned.

Inside, there were all the things she had given to Keira.

There was a doll that had been cut open and then sewn back together, which Mrs. Olsen had given to

6/10

<

221 See You Again

Keira when she was three years old.

There was a white dress torn into strips, which she had secretly given to Keira on her thirteenth birthday.

There was even a shattered cell phone, which she had given to Keira when she was about to leave the Olsen family…

Isla was very terrifying as a child; whatever Mrs. Olsen gave to Keira would be destroyed by Isla, who would then have Poppy severely punish Keira.

Mrs. Olsen knew this, but every time she scolded Isla, Isla would cry and say she was afraid of her love being divided and given to Keira…

So later, Mrs. Olsen stopped giving Keira gifts, afraid of hurting her.

Mrs. Olsen’s tears fell. “Keira, do you hate me?”

“I don’t hate you!” Keira replied with a smile. “Mom you know? I’m really glad that Poppy Hill never gav me a name, and later at the police station when I randomly chose one for myself, I thought about you. Actually, when I was a kid, I always wanted to sing for you…”

10:56

<

221 See You Again

Mrs. Olsen’s eyes reddened even more, and she tightly held Keira’s hand. “Keira, let’s throw all these away, and I’ll make up for all the gifts from when you were one year old to now.”

She didn’t want to keep those that were rotten, as they

would only bring sadness!

Keira understood her thoughts and nodded. “All these can be thrown away, but there’s one thing that can’t…”

She rummaged through the box and pulled out a jade

ring.

Mrs. Olsen was taken aback when she saw it. “What is

this?”

The jade ring looked very old, and the quality of the jade was excellent, probably quite valuable.

Keira explained, “This was given to me by a big brother.”

When she was separated from that boy after bei kidnapped as a child, he gave her the jade ring, tel her, “If you can’t stand your family, take this and co find me; I’m in Glow Village in Oceanion’s Cloud Tow

10:50

221 See You Again

Keira always remembered that place firmly.

That was her only hope every time she felt like she was about to die when she was a child.

She drew a red string, threaded the ring onto it, and

hung it around her neck, then pointed to everything in the room, “The rest can be thrown away!”

After Keira’s arrival, Taylor went to the study.

Their relationship was even more awkward, as they weren’t father and daughter.

Keira was downstairs discussing the room’s decoration with Mrs. Olsen, very interested in it and treating the matter seriously, knowing that it was going to be her

future home.

When it was getting late, Mrs. Olsen urged her to go home, and Keira reluctantly walked out the door

But when she stepped out, she saw Lewis’s Bentle parked outside.

Keira was slightly startled and walked over.

Lewis got out of the car and came to open the door f her. “I knew you were here, so I came to take you

home”

10:59

9/12

<

221 See You Again

Keira smiled.

Lewis said in a low voice, “Sorry, I tonight…”

“It’s okay.”

Keira interrupted him.

Lewis pursed his lips tightly and braced his chin.

After getting into the car, Lewis still stared straight

ahead.

He had just gone to the hospital.

Madeleine really had a fruit knife against a major artery in her neck while shouting at the doctors. “Don’t come over, don’t come over! I just want Lewis!”

And when he arrived, Madeleine looked at him. “Lewis, you promised to marry me! Do you know, marrying you is my biggest hope! It’s the only reason I keep living! Now go home and divorce that woman! Otherwise, I’ll kill myself!”

She took the knife and moved it around her neck with

such force that she seemed to really mean it.

Lewis had previously thought she might be faking it, using the affairs of their childhood to morally

10/12

< 221 See You Again

blackmail him. But after consulting many psychiatrists, he concluded that she wasn’t lying.

Her only hope to live on was him.

Lewis felt the air inside the car incredibly stuffy, so he loosened his tie and clenched his fists.

Did he really have to fulfill the promises made in

childhood?

And what about Keira, his wife?

Lewis took a deep breath and turned to Keira. “Why did you suddenly go back to the Olsen house?”

Keira subconsciously touched her neck. “I went back to fetch some things.”

Her action made Lewis notice something new around her neck, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What is it that you treasure so much you have to hide it…”

Keira teased him. “A token of affection.”

Lewis was stunned for a moment, his gaze becoming

tense. “Who gave it to you?”

“Certainly not you!”

Keira raised an eyebrow.

Lewis’s eyes darkened slightly. “Since it wasn’t me, then it can be thrown away.”

“That won’t do.” Keira looked up. “I’m thinking about returning it to him in the future. It looks quite valuable!”

“Huh, as if it could be anything valuable.”

Keira then asked, “Do you want to see it?”

“Don’t want to see it.” Lewis was stubborn, but his eyes still glanced toward her neck.

Keira clicked her tongue.

“What is it?”

“How come I smell a hint of jealousy?”

10:58 –

The two bantered and soon arrived at the Horton

residence.

Although Selena had sent them to stay in the main house, they still went to visit old Mrs. Horton first.

Seeing Lewis’s sulking face, Selena didn’t dare to put on airs and let them into the room.

Keira noticed that aside from the safe, all other valuable items had been removed from the room. Fiona secretly told her that all were taken to Selena’s own room. What a greedy woman.

She whispered complaints, treating Keira as the hostess, with an air of seeking her decision, “…All of these were left for you by old Mrs. Horton, and now she has snatched them all away!”

Keira felt a warmth in her heart.

She had no family since she was young. Now the Olsens were renovating for her, and she was gradually getting used to life at the Horton’s…

She smiled slightly and whispered back, “Don’t worry. What’s ours, she can’t take away.”

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief then.

10.58

222 Flowers

Old Mrs. Horton was still asleep, and Keira saw her complexion looking better. She checked the readings on the surrounding equipment and, finding everything in order, felt relieved.

She and Lewis walked out of old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard, heading toward the main house.

On the way, Lewis asked her, “What did Fiona tell you just now?”

Keira repeated Fiona’s words with a smile, and Lewis’s face turned cold. “She brought medicine for grandma; I won’t mistreat her. But things that shouldn’t be

touched, don’t even think about it!”

Keira wasn’t really concerned about the property, but she did worry a bit. “We’re not here to watch over Grandma; wouldn’t she mistreat her?”

“Don’t worry,” Lewis said indifferently. “The ol isn’t so good to me, but he has always been qu to Grandma. Selena wouldn’t dare to harm gra

If it weren’t for Nathan’s great respect toward old Horton, the old lady might not have been able to protect Lewis.

When Lowic was a child Nathan and Oliver were not

on getting rid of him, the burden.

The very thought chilled Lewis, but at that moment, his hand was suddenly taken into a warm little hand.

He looked sideways to see the girl pointing at the sky. “Look, the moon is so full tonight!”

Lewis was infected by her joyful mood and also looked

The moonlight was bright and beautiful.

But he only glanced once, his gaze then fell on Keira’s profile.

Her silhouette was distinct, her flawless complexion so fair it was nearly translucent, with long lashes… She wasn’t at all like the delicate beauty of a traditional type, but rather, she carried an air of valor.

And those lips, neither too thin nor too plump…

Lewis swallowed.

Keira was walking ahead, but then she sensed Lewis by her side had stopped.

She turned her head curiously and was instantly engulfed by the man’s profound gaze.

10:58-

His eyes were very deep, like the vast starry sky, which was inscrutable.

The two looked at each other, and Lewis suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them.

The night air in winter was actually a bit cold, and there were no insects or birds chirping among the surrounding trees, which made it exceptionally quiet. So quiet that Keira could hear her own heartbeat.

She pursed her lips, and her nervous breathing grew

heavier.

The atmosphere suddenly turned intimate.

Just then, Lewis slowly lowered his head…

His face drew closer and closer, so close that his breath seemed to spray onto her face.

The pleasant scent of vanilla from the man surrounde Keira’s, making her subconsciously close her eyes.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

It was the sound of a heartbeat.

They were about to kiss, weren’t they?

so nervous that it felt like the air in her chest had been

sucked out…

But the next moment, she felt something lightly brush over her head…

Keira opened her eyes in surprise, only to see a leaf in Lewis’s hand. “…You had a leaf in your hair.”

Keira was perplexed.

She asked without thinking, “Did you come so close just to remove this leaf for me?”

“What else?”

“I thought…” Keira started but then immediately stopped herself.

Lewis chuckled lowly. “Thought what?”

“Nothing.”

Keira was angry.

She turned and walked away!

But no sooner had she turned around than her arm was forcefully pulled, and she crashed hard into Lewis’s broad chest.

moment, Lewis lowered his head and kissed her!

Keira froze in place!

She could feel the drumming heartbeat in his chest. His lips were so soft, but then Keira’s eyes widened.

Lewis was prying open her lips, gently and carefully probing at first, then suddenly launching a full assault!

The winter wind was cold.

But Keira felt this burning desire… She was having trouble breathing and wanted to retreat, but Lewis’s large hand held the back of her head, deepening the

kiss.

Her hands unconsciously wrapped around the man’s

waist…

The air seemed to have been sucked away, and her rationality vanished entirely…

After a long while, Keira felt something nudge her fee She was jolted awake and pushed Lewis away.

With flushed cheeks, Keira looked down to see the puppy standing there, wagging its tail, its little puppy eyes looking up at them curiously and seriously, then licking her leg.

Keira was dumbfounded.

She was so embarrassed she could die!

She turned and ran quickly toward the main house, leaving only Lewis behind. He watched her from

behind, touching his lips with a finger, and chuckling softly.

Then, he gestured to the puppy with a finger to his lips. “Shh… Don’t tell anyone, she’s shy.”

The puppy looked confused.

After saying this, Lewis followed Keira, walking slowly toward the main house.

Just as he reached the doorway, he saw her standing there, looking down and kicking a pebble, with a somewhat girlish attitude, glaring at him.

Keira had never been to the main house, so she had no

idea where to stay.

Lewis quickened his steps, approached her, and took

her hand.

Keira immediately withdrew as if burned, coughed, and then entered the living room with him.

10.35

They were then approached by the butler, whose face bore an unusual expression.

The butler gave Keira a meaningful look and coughed. “Madam, someone has sent you a gift. I’ve placed it in your room.”

Keira was confused.

She was taken aback. She instinctively glanced at Lewis, who frowned, clearly indicating the gift wasn’t from him.

She and Lewis went upstairs, entered the room the butler had mentioned, and saw a sea of pink roses!

There were no fewer than 999 roses, almost covering

the sofa…

Keira walked over and opened an envelope attached to the bouquet, which only listed the name of the person

who sent the flowers: Uncle Olsen.

Keira was perplexed.

She suddenly remembered giving advice to that handsome uncle earlier, mentioning that to woo a girl he should send pink flowers…

10.58

223 Flowers

Keira was momentarily dumbfounded.

By her side, Lewis had already walked over, glancing inconspicuously at her card as he asked, “Is it from the same person who sent you the token of commitment?” Keira found it amusing and handed him the card.

After seeing Uncle Olsen’s name, Lewis cleared his throat and complained, “Why would an elder send roses?”

Keira sighed silently.

So, sending flowers to charm a girl was a universal tactic?

But she wasn’t really angry with Uncle Olsen. After a he had done it to stand up for Mrs. Olsen…

She just felt that if Mrs. Olsen and Uncle Olsen didn meet, and she went to meet and chat with Uncle Olsen, it might upset her mother.

She quietly turned to the butler, “Please put these flowers in the living room.”

10:58

110

223 Flowers

Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses were simply too

many.

The butler nodded and carried the flowers out.

Only after he left did Keira look around Lewis’s room. This bedroom of Lewis’s wasn’t actually the family head’s room; the room that Oliver was living in was. As soon as Oliver got married, Nathan immediately vacated the place for him and Melissa, sending a clear signal to the outside world: Oliver was to be the future family head.

Unfortunately for Oliver, Lewis snatched the position of the family head. Initially, Nathan, using the excuse of Lewis not being married, didn’t let Oliver give up the

room…

Later, after Lewis got married, they occupied the master bedroom under the pretext that Lewis’s wife

was a

Now, they simply didn’t mention the matter at all.
