Chapter 110: Chapter 110
Keira Olsen’s amorous eyes sparkled slightly, her voice soft, scared to startle the old Mrs. Horton, “Then how did we get our marriage certificate?”
Old Mrs. Horton said with a smile, “I rember on that day, you were wearing a red sweater…”
A red sweater?
Keira Olsen paused slightly. She did indeed have a red sweater, purchased three years ago during the New Year holidays when she was alone in her rental room. She wore it to feel festive, to not feel so lonely.
The picture on the marriage certificate also indeed showed her in that sweater.
Old Mrs. Horton continued, “The brat was wearing a black suit, and you both went to get your certificate!”
Keira Olsen furrowed her brows.
The courthouse had said that both parties must be present for marriage, and Old Mrs. Horton ntioning it again confird that she and Lewis Horton had indeed registered their marriage two years ago.
Then why didn’t she and Lewis Horton know about it?
It couldn’t possibly be sothing as cliché as both having amnesia, right?
Moreover, she had a good mory and rembered clearly everything she had done two years prior!
Keira Olsen continued to inquire, “How did we et?”
Old Mrs. Horton looked at her earnestly, “Of course, it was because of …”
“What did you do?”
Keira Olsen pressed further, but Old Mrs. Horton just yawned, her expression shifting from confusion to clarity, “Oh, my granddaughter-in-law, why are you up so early?”
The critical information wasn’t obtained… but it wasn’t all for nothing; at least she knew their marriage was indeed orchestrated by the old lady, just not the specifics.
They’d better wait for the clinical drugs to be developed, to treat the old lady’s condition first.
Keira Olsen sighed, “Grandma, it’s ti for breakfast.”
…
After Old Mrs. Horton washed up, the two sat in the dining room.
The Horton family’s housekeeper had prepared a lavish breakfast, and Keira Olsen and Old Mrs. Horton chatted while waiting for Lewis Horton.
“The brat is quite tall, he seems like he’s almost one ter ninety!”
Old Mrs. Horton stretched out her hand to gesture, “Three heads taller than !”
Keira Olsen smiled, “Yes, probably over one ninety.”
She herself was not short, standing at one seventy-two, but she still felt petite next to Lewis Horton.
While they were chatting, Lewis Horton, who had finished washing up, ca out.
Old Mrs. Horton directly asked, “Brat, how tall are you?”
The man looked puzzled, his gaze falling on Keira Olsen, “What’s up?”
Keira Olsen raised an eyebrow, “Just say it.”
Lewis Horton remained still, his lips pursed, remaining silent.
Old Mrs. Horton called out, “Brat, hurry and tell your granddaughter-in-law!”
Lewis Horton’s eyes narrowed slightly, he asked Keira Olsen, “Then you stand up.”
Keira Olsen obediently stood up.
She thought he was about to check how much taller he was than her, but to her surprise, he stepped forward, his large hand wrapping around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Keira Olsen: ?
Her mind went blank for a mont.
The man had probably just finished working out. Even through his clothing, she could feel the firmness of his chest muscles. He had just taken a shower, his hair was still damp, and his body carried a moist scent along with the fragrance of herbal shower gel.
A blush crept over Keira Olsen’s face, puzzled, she looked up only to see the man looking down at her intently, “Is this okay?”
Keira Olsen blinked her eyes, “Huh?”
“Still want to keep hugging?”
Keira Olsen: ?
Her mind froze for several seconds before she finally understood, subconsciously pushing Lewis Horton away, and said with a laugh, “I ant to report my height, not this kind of hug…”
“…”
It was then that Lewis Horton realized his blunder, and his ears suddenly turned red.
Old Mrs. Horton burst into laughter beside them, “This hug is better than that report… hug more when you have the ti, and quickly give a great-grandson…”
Keira Olsen held back her laughter and hurriedly sat down.
Lewis Horton couldn’t help but glance at her, seeing the girl’s eyes sparkling like autumn waters, the corners of her amorous eyes shimring enchantingly, like a dazzling dahlia blooming on a cliff, radiant yet uniquely aloof.
He withdrew his gaze, and just as he was about to sit down beside Old Mrs. Horton, a voice ca in: “Old Mrs. Horton, you just got ho, we’ve co to join you for breakfast!”
The people were not yet seen, but their words arrived first.
The three of them turned their heads and saw lissa Knight, Jake Horton’s mother, walking in with a smile.
Following closely were Nathan Horton, Lewis Horton’s father, Oliver Horton, Jake’s father and Lewis’s older brother, Jake Horton… and Isla Olsen.
As they entered, Fiona imdiately had the servants busy themselves.
New tableware was brought out from the kitchen by everyone and placed on the dining table.
Nathan Horton directly took a seat opposite Old Mrs. Horton at the long dining table, effectively sitting in the secondary host position.
Oliver Horton sat down in the first seat below him, with Jake Horton naturally sitting beside him…
lissa Knight then walked over to Keira Olsen, smilingly said, “Miss Olsen, please make so room.”
Keira Olsen paused, and before she could react, lissa Knight had already moved her place settings slightly to the chair next to her, grasping Old Mrs. Horton’s hand with a cheerful smile, before Old Mrs. Horton could speak:
“Grandmother, I’ve co today to bring you good news!”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen instinctively glanced at Isla Olsen’s stomach, could it be this kind of good news?
As she thought, Old Mrs. Horton also inquired, “What good news?”
lissa Knight waved Isla Olsen over, who then ca to her side: “Your great-granddaughter-in-law, she has made a notable contribution to the police departnt, and the police want to give her public recognition! This is a great thing for the Horton Family!”
For a prominent family like the Horton Family, reputation matters most.
Having a daughter-in-law with such a comndable public image is extrely beneficial to them.
Isla Olsen smiled and said, “It’s all part of my duties.”
However, lissa Knight shook her head, “That’s not the way to put it, you did splendidly this ti, I will have the Horton Group PR team highlight this achievent to ensure you have a grand wedding with Jake! From now on, you’ll be his legal wife! The hostess of this household!”
Isla Olsen’s eyes suddenly brightened, her heart bursting with joy.
She hadn’t expected Connor Hill to bring her such honor!
Feeling proud, she glanced at Keira Olsen and then smiled, “Aunt, thank you for your kindness.”
lissa Knight suddenly changed her tone, “You deserve it too, having such a positive image, from now on, whenever you step out, you will represent Jake’s image, and the family’s investnt in you will not be in vain.”
After saying this, she glanced at Keira Olsen, then smilingly continued, “Lewis, your wife has been studying abroad for the past few years, there’s no need for her to rush back, let Isla take care of the household matters from now on. With the honor from the police and the good reviews from outside, she cos from a good background, and since she’s presentable, we, the Horton Family, should support her…”
Lewis Horton didn’t say a word.
lissa Knight then gave up the seat, “Co, Isla, sit here! Accompany your great grandmother for the al~”
After finishing, she seed to rember sothing, turning to Keira Olsen: “Oh dear, my fault for overlooking Miss Olsen here as a guest, but you don’t mind, do you?”
Keira Olsen: “…”
Just then, her phone buzzed.
Keira Olsen checked it and found that “Josh Josh” had sent her a ssage on Weibo: [Ms. Keira, I’ve uncovered a secret! That Isla Olsen is not the hero who exposed Connor Hill! She’s in cahoots with Connor Hill, I have evidence! Releasing it soon!]
