Chapter 125: Chapter 125
Mrs. Olsen’s gaze was sharp as a blade.
She appeared delicate and frail, yet she was internally tough.
Taylor Olsen knew her too well, he imdiately said, “I never considered her my daughter, Shirley, I’ve said before, in my heart, only your daughter is my daughter.”
Mrs. Olsen tensed her jaw, “Is that so?”
Taylor Olsen sighed, “I was against letting her and her mother in from the start. You must be clear about my feelings, right?”
Only then did Mrs. Olsen nod.
Isla Olsen was not there to hear the heartfelt exchange between the couple; she directly said, “Mom, Kiera has always listened to you the most. Please talk to her. She is now living in the Horton family, and even the Horton’s housekeeper looks down on her…”
Mrs. Olsen cast her eyes downward.
She had always been a cheerful parent.
Both towards Isla and even more so towards Kiera.
That was why she had never intended to ddle in Isla and Kiera’s marital affairs.
The extre asures Isla had now forced her to use, pushing her into the Horton Family, had deeply disappointed her.
As for Kiera…
When she found out that she was Dr. South, Mrs. Olsen was pleased, feeling a sense of achievent as if Kiera was blossoming into a young woman of her own family.
Now one daughter had disappointed her, and unexpectedly, the other too had made such a foolish mistake.
Kiera had always been a good child, it couldn’t be that she’d act so recklessly. There must have been so misunderstanding, probably?
Indeed concerned now, Mrs. Olsen thought for a mont, then took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and sent a ssage to Kiera: [“Kiera, it’s been so long since you got married, and I have yet to et your husband. Bring him over for a al at our house when you’re free.”]
After sending the ssage, she lowered her head.
She wanted to see what kind of man Kiera’s husband was.
If he wasn’t reliable, she would find a way for them to divorce and let Kiera pursue a new life.
If he was dependable, then she would persuade Kiera to live with him, as separation is never good for a couple.
…
Kiera received the ssage just after finishing lunch with Old Mrs. Horton.
After the morning incident, her spirits were sowhat low. After lunch, Old Mrs. Horton, however, resolutely refused to take a nap but instead stubbornly turned to Lewis Horton and asked:
“brat, why didn’t you explain to everyone today that your daughter-in-law is your wife?”
Upon hearing this, Kiera slightly lifted her eyes, wanting to say sothing, but Old Mrs. Horton anxiously asked, “Are you planning to divorce your daughter-in-law later?”
Lewis Horton paused slightly, “Why would I? Grandmother, don’t worry.”
Old Mrs. Horton then turned to Kiera, “And you, daughter-in-law?”
Kiera’s mouth opened and closed, and noticing Lewis Horton’s gaze on her, she finally spoke, “I won’t either.”
“That’s more like it!”
Old Mrs. Horton grabbed Lewis Horton’s hand with one hand and Kiera’s with the other, bringing their hands together before solemnly saying, “In this world, it’s hard to find soone you love, hard to find soone who loves you, and even harder to find mutual love. So, you two must take responsibility for your future and not let go of each other easily.”
Upon hearing this, Kiera instinctively looked towards Lewis Horton.
Just then, the man also looked up at her.
Their eyes t in that mont.
Kiera sensitively caught a fleeting hint of uncertainty in the man’s eyes.
…He was still uncertain about truly being with her.
This realization slightly chilled Kiera, and she instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but it was firmly grasped by the man’s warm hand.
Kiera looked up to see him, his jaw tensed.
She lifted an eyebrow, signaling the man to provide an explanation.
Lewis Horton’s gaze flickered slightly as he looked elsewhere.
Old Mrs. Horton’s words interrupted their silent interrogation, “Brat, I’m asking you, do you really like your granddaughter-in-law or not?”
Keira Olsen turned to look at him.
Lewis Horton hadn’t expected the old lady to suddenly say this and was sowhat hesitant, not knowing how to respond.
A touch of disappointnt suddenly surged in Keira Olsen’s heart.
In the ti the two had spent together, was it all just her own wishful thinking?
She clearly felt that Lewis Horton had a liking for her…
She lowered her eyes, about to say sothing, when Lewis Horton’s deep voice slowly began, “I like.”
Keira Olsen was a bit stunned.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Old Mrs. Horton then looked at her, “My granddaughter-in-law, do you like…”
Before she could finish, Keira Olsen changed the subject, “Grandma, it’s ti for your nap.”
Old Mrs. Horton paused, then laughed, “Alright, alright, I’ll take a nap. My granddaughter-in-law is shy, so I won’t ask anymore~”
Having said this, she walked toward the bedroom, smiling and leaning on Fiona’s hand.
Once inside, the little old lady suddenly switched from her confused state to a cunning one, peeking through the peephole, “Fiona, they both declared their feelings to each other, so they should be together soon, right?”
Fiona: “…”
The pair outside the door still felt sowhat awkward.
The man in a suit, tall and striking, always caught the eye no matter where he was. His superior appearance combined with proper deanor in all aspects made it difficult for Keira Olsen not to be moved.
She hesitated to look into Lewis Horton’s eyes, rely coughed, and said, “About what you just said, was it to humor grandma?”
Lewis Horton clenched his jaw, “No.”
Keira Olsen gave a light “Oh,” her gaze sowhat flitting.
At that mont, her phone rang.
Keira Olsen picked it up and glanced at it, only to raise an eyebrow when she saw the ssage Mrs. Olsen had sent.
Lewis Horton asked, “What’s up?”
Keira Olsen handed the ssage for him to see, “Certainly Isla went ho to complain. Mrs. Olsen is worried I really beca your lover, so she plans to call back for a talk!”
Lewis Horton laughed, “So, will you go back?”
Keira Olsen, while replying to the ssage, spoke up, “I’ll go back and check. Mrs. Olsen fainted yesterday, and I’m a bit worried.”
“Hmm.” Lewis Horton smiled, “Then I’ll go with you.”
Keira Olsen suddenly looked up, incredulous, “What?”
“I said, I’ll go with you.” Lewis Horton lowered his head, his eyes twinkling with a hint of amusent, “Didn’t she want you to bring your husband ho to show her? So, you don’t want to take ?”
Keira Olsen: !!!
…Well, that isn’t it!
She subtly stepped back, swallowed hard, then coughed and said, “Okay then, I’ll reply to her ssage.”
Lewis Horton continued, “Hmm, I’ll have soone prepare so gifts. Since you regard Mrs. Olsen as your mother, I should certainly not go empty-handed when visiting my mother-in-law.”
Mother-in-law…
Keira Olsen’s cheeks reddened further, she turned her head, and texted Mrs. Olsen: [Okay, I’ll co tonight.]
