My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Erin never expected Keira to react so strongly.

For a moment, she completely forgot what she was going to say and just stood there, staring at Keira in shock.

Keira's sharp eyes locked onto Erin, waiting for her to explain what had happened to her mom. When Erin didn't respond, Keira grew even more anxious. "Say something!"

Erin swallowed hard. "I…"

Before she could get another word out, Lewis walked over and said calmly, "Your mom's probably fine."

That finally seemed to calm Keira down a bit.

She turned to Lewis. "What did you just say?"

Lewis continued, "She said your mom was in trouble, but it was probably just a test. She didn't expect you to get this worked up."

Keira quickly looked back at Erin. "Is that true?"

Erin was on the verge of tears and nodded. "Yes, your mom's fine! Besides, the news I get from the South family only comes in once a month. Even if something really had happened, I wouldn't know about it yet!"

Keira's mind finally started to clear.

She took a deep breath and let go of Erin.
