Keira was about to greet old Mrs. Horton when suddenly a beeping tone came from the phone.

She paused slightly and then realized that old Mrs. Horton had hung up.

She was speechless.

Lewis couldn’t help but smile ruefully. “Grandma only acknowledges one granddaughter–in–law, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Keira shook her head.

Lewis also had no intention of calling back.

Discussing these matters over the phone was too risky; if the mobile phone was monitored, Keira’s identity would be exposed.

For now, she still needed to maintain her sister’s identity to try and save her mother.

Lewis, of course, wouldn’t expose her identity in public.

Keira said, “Let’s visit Grandma another day.”

“There’s no need to wait for another day,” said Lewis, his eyes cast down. “There’s a banquet at the Horton residence in a few days. It’s the first banquet since my arrival in Clance, so it’s also our first appearance. The Horton family views it as important and has already sent invitations to all the major families. You, as my fiancée, have to attend as well.”

Upon hearing this, Keira turned to look at Lewis. “A banquet? Under what pretext is it being held?”

As soon as she asked, Lewis’s expression stiffened slightly.

He coughed, turned his head to the side, and suddenly turned his back on Keira. “There’s no particular reason; it’s just a casual event.”

Of course, it was held in the name of his birthday!

But Keira didn’t seem to care about him, probably not even remembering his birthday!

Lewis felt somewhat gloomy.

Although he understood she was under a lot of pressure recently, carrying a heavy burden, it still bothered him that she didn’t remember his birthday…

matter.

But he just couldn’t help it.

Seeing him turn his back, Keira didn’t think much of it and simply said, “It’s fine to have a banquet without any particular reason… Okay then, let’s go to bed.”

And then there was silence.

Lewis was perplexed.

He slowly turned around to find that Keira had already fallen asleep.
