Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton imdiately looked at her together.
Keira Olsen asked, “You know?”
Lewis Horton also spoke up, “Grandma, what on earth is going on?”
Old Mrs. Horton looked at the two of them, then glanced outside, acting all mysterious.
Only then did she lower her voice and said, “Could your daughter-in-law have a dual personality? But usually the secondary personality doesn’t co out, as the primary personality suppresses it, so she forgets about it afterwards!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
Lewis Horton: “…”
Old Mrs. Horton just kept talking, “I’ve read a lot of novels and watched TV shows, many protagonists have this illness. There’s this one novel where the male lead has many personalities! The female lead marries one man but it’s like she married several, a real-life version of polyandry, how thrilling!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
Lewis Horton tugged the corner of his mouth, “Grandma, you’re drooling…”
Old Mrs. Horton imdiately wiped the corner of her mouth, then realizing sothing, she glared at Lewis Horton before looking at Keira Olsen, “My dear granddaughter-in-law, do you have schizophrenia?”
Keira Olsen rubbed her forehead, “I really don’t.”
She underwent annual dical check-ups, and considering her oppressive living environnt as a child and having been brainwashed by Poppy Hill, Keira Olsen paid great attention to her ntal health.
Old Mrs. Horton was puzzled, “Then what else could it be?”
Keira Olsen shook her head, unable to understand.
Lewis Horton said, “Whatever the situation, Keira is now my wife. Stop thinking about it, we’ll cross the bridge when we get to it!”
Keira Olsen wanted to say sothing, but seeing Old Mrs. Horton yawning and looking fatigued, she realized the old lady was exhausted, so she quickly changed the subject, “Right, whatever the truth is, it’s not that important. Grandma, you should get so rest early.”
Old Mrs. Horton nodded and looked at them, “Anyway, I don’t care, you two are now legally married, you must live well together!”
Keira Olsen nodded.
As the two of them were about to leave, Keira’s hand was caught by Old Mrs. Horton, who then looked at Lewis Horton, “You go out for a bit, I have sothing private to speak with my granddaughter-in-law…”
Lewis Horton: “…”
Obediently he left the room, and as he closed the door, he vaguely heard Old Mrs. Horton asking, “My dear granddaughter-in-law, is the brat good in bed? If not, you must tell , don’t suffer in silence…”
Lewis Horton: !!
In the room, Keira Olsen’s complexion turned slightly red, not expecting Old Mrs. Horton to be so forthright.
She rubbed her forehead, and seeing Lewis Horton exit, she managed a wry smile, “Grandma, he’s gone, just tell directly whatever you want to say.”
Old Mrs. Horton regained a serious expression, holding Keira’s hand and sighing, “What I actually wanted to talk to you about is Madeleine Davis…”
At the ntion of that person, Keira Olsen was slightly taken aback.
Thinking of the tis Lewis Horton had disappeared or not co ho all night, she had her suspicions.
But she was always calm and restrained, waiting for Lewis Horton to explain, so she hadn’t said much about it.
Old Mrs. Horton sighed deeply, “Lewis may seem cold on the outside, but he is very loyal and has a strong sense of responsibility. That’s his strength, but at the sa ti, it’s also his weakness.”
Old Mrs. Horton spoke earnestly, “Keira, I don’t want to favor my own grandson, but when I had you two get married back then, I didn’t know about the existence of Madeleine Davis. That brat suddenly ca back saying he’d never marry in his life, and in a mont of urgency, I had you two get married.”
Keira Olsen clenched her jaw.
Old Mrs. Horton continued with gravity, “I know my own grandson. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Since he chose to spend his life with you, he will never let you down for as long as he lives! As for how he will deal with Madeleine Davis, I do not know, but I wanted to give you a heads up, so you wouldn’t be in the dark and end up disadvantaged.”
Old Mrs. Horton’s words were entirely from her perspective, which ward Keira’s heart.
She nodded.
…
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton moved back into Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard to live, while Selena Horton wanted to shalessly move into the Horton Family ho, but Lewis Horton intended to drive her out.
Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton had their reservations, but Lewis Horton showed a very strong stance.
He had previously been willing to compromise, solely because Selena Horton had the special dication.
Now that Keira Olsen had provided the dication, Lewis Horton no longer had any concerns in front of the three of them.
Oliver Horton said, “Selena is, after all, engaged to the Cobb family, how can she marry from outside? She must marry from the Horton family!”
He was trying to use the Cobb family to pressure him.
Lewis Horton sneered, “If big brother can’t bear to let his daughter marry from outside, I do have a good solution.”
Oliver Horton eagerly asked, “What?”
Lewis Horton spoke lightly, “Split the family. Technically speaking, the first branch of the family should have moved out long ago after I beca the Family Head. Big brother clearly has several properties as well. Once you move out, it won’t be a problem to take your daughter back ho however you wish.”
Oliver Horton: !!
He was still thinking of contending for the position of Family Head, how could he easily agree to split the family!
Seeing him silent, Lewis Horton then walked with Keira Olsen towards Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard.
As evening fell, Keira Olsen, bathed in moonlight, walked ahead. She was still pondering what Old Mrs. Horton had said today, feeling that she and Lewis Horton had been calculated against.
But who was it, and why would they do this?
While she was pondering, her left hand was suddenly grasped by a warm large hand. Lewis Horton’s deep voice ca into her ear, “What are you thinking about?”
Keira Olsen inquired, “I’m thinking about what exactly is going on.”
She had already reviewed her schedule on the day she got married. She found that on the day she registered her marriage two years ago, she was in the lab the whole ti, working on the Hydrogen Fuel problem, and there were company employees to testify.
So, who was it that showed up at the Horton Family ho and knew that she was actually Mrs. Olsen’s daughter?!
Lewis Horton also furrowed his brows.
Both of them couldn’t figure out what was going on at the ti and simply pushed the matter to the back of their minds.
They had just entered Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard when Lewis Horton’s phone rang.
Keira Olsen didn’t want to listen to his phone conversation, but since they were walking side by side, the voice inside was revealed.
It was a gentle female voice, “Lewis, can you co to have dinner with ?”
Lewis Horton’s face turned dark, and he spat out two words, “No ti.”
The other side spoke again, “But I’m sick again. Without you, I can’t eat anything, Lewis… The doctor said if I don’t eat, my stomach won’t take it…”
Keira Olsen involuntarily perked up her ears, only to hear Lewis Horton fall silent for a mont before finally saying, “Fine, I’ll co over.”
Hearing his response, Keira Olsen felt a slight sinking in her heart as if a stone had suddenly been pressed on top of it.
She didn’t speak, and seeing Lewis Horton hang up the phone, she walked directly to her own room.
She had barely taken two steps when her wrist was once again gripped by Lewis Horton.
Keira Olsen turned around and saw the man looking at her seriously, “Join ?”
Keira Olsen paused, a subtle feeling suddenly rising in the bottom of her heart. She knew this was Lewis Horton making a choice.
This encounter today might very well be their last.
Keira Olsen was not a sentintal person, so she smiled slightly, “Sure.”
The two walked out together and got into the car.
On the road, Keira Olsen saw that Lewis Horton had a stern face and seed to be in a bad mood. She took the initiative to ask, “What exactly is going on between you and her?”
