Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Look alike?
Kiera Olsen paused briefly.
In fact, apart from both having oval faces, her and Mrs. Olsen’s features were not alike.
Mrs. Olsen had phoenix eyes, while hers were amorous eyes.
If there really was a similarity, it might be the kind of cold aura they both possessed that seed quite similar at first glance.
…which was also normal.
...
After all, when she had just left the Olsen family, whenever she faced difficulties, she would think about how Mrs. Olsen would handle them.
She learned from Mrs. Olsen how to behave and secretly absorbed her charms, so it was no surprise that she developed a few of her own.
Kiera Olsen turned to the old lady, “Grandma, she’s not my mom.”
But the old lady firmly said, “She is! My granddaughter-in-law, how can you not recognize your mom?”
Kiera Olsen was caught between laughter and tears.
The old lady was having another one of her episodes.
Fortunately, just then, Lewis Horton appeared at the hospital room door with dinner packed up, diverting her fixation.
The dinner Lewis Horton prepared was very sumptuous.
Apart from so light dishes, there were also fruits for three people.
Yet, the old lady imdiately frowned, “My granddaughter-in-law can’t eat mangoes; she’s allergic!”
Kiera Olsen was slightly startled.
She looked at the old lady in disbelief, “Grandma, how do you know?”
She used to be indeed allergic to mangoes, but her health improved two years ago, and she overca the allergy.
Thus, she had never ntioned this to the old lady!
The old lady chuckled, “You told before, rember? You said mangoes would cover your face with little red bumps…”
Kiera Olsen’s expression gradually turned serious, “When was before?”
The old lady then beca confused again, “It seems like it was before your marriage… Yes, you told before you got married!”
Yet Kiera Olsen was certain that she had never t the old lady back then!
She hadn’t lost her mory!
She hurriedly asked, “Do you rember anything else? Like how Mr. Horton and I registered our marriage?”
The old lady shook her head, “I can’t rember…”
It seed that the old lady needed specific circumstances to occasionally rember sothing.
As Kiera Olsen pondered, she suddenly felt a piercing gaze upon her.
Turning her head, she t Lewis Horton’s deep gaze.
The man’s expression was icy, clearly having understood the old lady’s words, and he seed to suspect her motives again!
She really couldn’t clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Suddenly, Kiera Olsen picked up the Shiba Inu, “Grandma, you guys eat first, I’m going to walk the dog.”
With that, she walked out.
She didn’t go far, just stopping at the end of the hallway, leaning against the wall with the dog in her arms, her amorous eyes gazing towards the old lady’s hospital room.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a tall figure followed her out.
Upon seeing her, Lewis Horton slowly approached, his voice low, “Miss Olsen, is there sothing you want to say?”
Kiera Olsen pressed her lips together, “I thought you might want to explain sothing.”
“Does Miss Olsen have sothing she wants to explain?”
Kiera Olsen earnestly said, “About what grandma ntioned regarding before our marriage, I really don’t know what it’s about.”
She herself found her words unbelievable, considering an allergy to mangoes was private information the old lady couldn’t have possibly made up.
She expected him to be skeptical, but he rely responded calmly with one word, “Oh.”
Kiera Olsen was baffled by his attitude, “Mr. Horton, do you believe ?”
“I don’t know.”
Keira Olsen: ?
Lewis Horton suddenly stepped closer, the natural height difference made Keira feel as though she was being looked down upon by a man.
He slowly said, “Miss Olsen, regardless of whether you have any intentions, if you can keep grandma happy, then I promise to protect you completely.”
“…”
Keira Olsen suddenly understood his thinking.
This man didn’t care about the truth or whether she was deceiving anyone.
He was powerful, dominating Oceanion, unafraid of any plot or sche…
He only cared about the old lady.
Even if she truly had so sches, as long as she could make the old lady happy, this man would probably turn a blind eye…
“Of course.”
The man suddenly beca imposing again, “If you hurt grandma, I’ll make sure you can’t survive in Oceanion.”
Keira Olsen, who didn’t respond well to threats, scoffed, “Mr. Horton, haven’t you already done that?”
Lewis Horton frowned, about to say sothing, when a robust voice ca through:
“Keira Olsen?”
Keira Olsen turned around to see Professor Miller.
He must have caught a cold, as his voice was a bit hoarse. Coming over, he said directly, “I was just about to call you to ask if you found a job yet? Have you and Mr. Horton cleared up the misunderstanding? Mr. Horton is really not acting like a man. Arguing with a girl over sothing like this, canceling your recomnded study position, and even declaring that you should disappear from Oceanion?”
Lewis Horton: ??
Keira Olsen glanced at Lewis Horton with a half-smile, “Professor, don’t worry, the misunderstanding has been resolved. Mr. Horton is quite nice actually, he arranged a job for and even promised to protect ~”
This sarcastic tone made Lewis Horton’s face darken.
Professor Miller breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed Lewis Horton and seeing how close they were standing, thought of the conversation he had overheard between Isla Olsen and Poppy Hill, and instinctively asked, “Is this your… thug husband?”
Lewis Horton: “…” His face grew even darker.
Keira Olsen’s smile brightened a bit, “Mm, you could say that.”
Professor Miller looked earnestly at Lewis Horton, “Young man, you’re strong and well-built, and good-looking too. You should really strive to find a decent job!”
“…”
…
At the Olsen Family’s residence.
The family was having lunch in the dining room.
Mrs. Olsen looked unwell, appearing to have lost her appetite.
Taylor Olsen imdiately asked with concern, “Shirley, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Mrs. Olsen waved her hand.
Isla Olsen then said, “Dad, we ran into Kiera at the hospital today, I think mom’s a bit worried about her.”
Taylor Olsen frowned, “Worried about her for what?”
Isla Olsen sighed, “She must hate by now, blaming for her withdrawal from school and forcing her to go abroad… I’m worried about what she might say in front of Old Mrs. Horton, and Mr. Horton might take it out on …”
Taylor Olsen scoffed, “That’s her problem with Mr. Horton, what does it have to do with you? Even if she’s lucky to have saved Old Mrs. Horton, it’s their affair. Speaking of which, it was Mr. Horton who told us to properly educate our daughter!”
Isla Olsen’s expression stiffened.
She had deliberately ntioned that Mr. Horton had left a ssage that ti… that should be in the past by now, right?
She was always clearly aware that her father, Taylor Olsen’s kindness to her primarily stemd from her being Mrs. Olsen’s daughter!
If he knew that she had displeased Mr. Horton… the consequences were unthinkable!
Just then, Taylor Olsen’s phone suddenly rang.
He answered, “Mr. Davis?! What brings you to call ? Does Mr. Horton have any instructions?”
Upon hearing this, Isla Olsen’s heart sank!!
It shouldn’t be what she was thinking, right? She panicked!
