The driver from the Horton’s old house had been
waiting all day.”
He intended to just hand the delivery to Fiona and leave, but Mr. Horton insisted he deliver it personally
to Lewis!
So he ended up waiting all day long.
Fiona said Lewis usually ca back at noon, yet today, of all days, he didn’t co back in ti. He
arrived by car at midnight the previous night, exhausted out of
his mind.
He even dozed off outside under the sun!
Rubbing his eyes, the driver handed the package to Lewis and imdiately went to sleep in the room
Fiona had arranged for him!
Lewis was slightly startled.
He looked down at the package in his hand but felt nothing.
The courier had made the delivery directly, so there
was no na written on it.
243 Soone Looking for You
Lewis simply wondered what had been sent to the old family ho…
He didn’t enter the bedroom with the package but went into his study and sent Tom a ssage.
“eting.”
Busy with international affairs in the afternoon, he hadn’t dealt with company business.
That night, he was prepared to work overti, keeping himself busy.
He didn’t want to leave himself any idle ti for unfounded thoughts; only by keeping busy could he
feel sowhat better.
It seed he might avoid those troubling issues…
Lewis despised such behavior from himself.
Yet he couldn’t help but act this way.
After Tom called for an international eting, five hours later, everyone was astonished.
It was 2 a.m. in the morning!
Lewis was normally very health-conscious, not wanting work reports after midnight, and he always
243 Soone Looking for You
jogged at a fixed ti every morning!
But today… what was going on?
It wasn’t until the sky began to light up in the morning that Lewis stopped working, but he didn’t go to
sleep. His gaze rely flicked over the package in front of him before he changed his clothes and went
out for a
run.
Another sleepless night… To be precise, he hadn’t slept in two nights.
Lewis seed sowhat more disheveled, and his run
was sohow less exhilarating.
The frustration suddenly made him speed up, dashing
five kiloters at a swift pace!
Only when he returned to the bedroom drenched in sweat did he step into the shower, as the cold
water started flowing, his entire body jolted, and the pain that seed suppressed deep within erupted
like a valve had been opened forcefully.
Lewis suddenly looked up, the shower’s water pouring over his face, and his fists tightly clenched.
243 Soone Looking for You
After taking a shower, Lewis glanced outside at the
sky.
It was already 7 a.m. and broad daylight.
He had an appointnt with Keira that day to get their
divorce.
Thinking about this, the calm he had just regained. weighed on him once more…
Keira didn’t sleep well that night either.
That text ssage she sent made her feel the situation
was suddenly unpredictable.
Who was that stranger?
Why didn’t they want her to divorce?
Contemplating these issues, her lancholy over the impending divorce faded without her noticing,
leaving her in intense contemplation.
She got dressed and went downstairs.
Just after breakfast, the nanny ca in. “Miss, soone outside wants to see you.”
243 Soone Looking for You
Who could it be?
Could it be the person who sent the text? They did say they would co to see her today…
But she had arranged to et the other party at eleven in the morning. Had they arrived early?
She went outside.
When she opened the door and saw the woman in front of her, she was slightly taken aback.
Standing before her was a slender woman in her fifties. She was dressed plainly and probably from the
countryside. She stood there timidly and uneasily.
Was this the person who had sent her the text ssage?
No, that wasn’t right…
Keira suddenly realized that the person who sent her the text ssage last night said their child had
just fallen asleep and needed to be quiet, aning that the child was still young.
The fifty-year-old in front of her wasn’t that person!
Just as she thought about this, the woman had already
243 Soone Looking for You
rushed over, grabbing her arm. “Mrs. Horton, you’re
Mrs. Horton, right?”
Keira frowned, “Who are you?”
“I’m Madeleine’s mother!”
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Keira imdiately realized trouble was brewing!
She blad herself for not sleeping well the last two
days, which made her mind a half-beat slower, allowing the woman to seize an opportunity.
She wanted to retreat and close the door, but the woman had already clung tightly to her clothes, “Mrs.
Horton, let’s talk…”
Keira said indifferently, “I don’t have anything to talk about with you…”
No sooner had she said this than three or four reporters suddenly popped out from around the corner,
all pointing their caras at her.
One of them said, “Mrs. Horton, I’m live streaming, and the whole internet is following your and Mr.
Horton’s situation. We want to know, what exactly is going on?”
“Did you know he had a girlfriend when you were with
Soone Looking for You
Mr. Horton? Were you the ‘other woman’ interfering in their relationship?”
“Mrs. Horton, is Mr. Horton now planning to turn a blind eye to Miss Davis’s life and death? How do you
plan to face the reporters and the public? Don’t you feel guilty?”
“Mrs. Horton, what’s your view on this matter?”
Keira frowned, looking coldly at the group of people in
front of her.
She never cared about public opinion, but these
people had found her ho, which could cause trouble for her mother!
She said, “Sorry, this is a private matter, and I prefer not to disclose it.”
Almost as soon as she said that, Madeleine’s mother
knelt in front of Keira!
She repeatedly knocked her head on the ground until her forehead was bleeding before she stopped.
The reporters imdiately directed their caras at her face, showcasing the wound.
Madeleine’s mother cried out, “Mrs. Horton, you’re a
WW3 Soone Looking for You
good person, and you co from a good background, but Madeleine has nothing. She doesn’t want
money or any benefits. She just wants to be with Mr. Horton… Please, let them be together!”
After Madeleine’s mother finished speaking, she knocked her head on the ground again with great
force. “She’ll die without Mr. Horton. I don’t care if you are the ‘other woman, what exactly is going on
between you and Mr. Horton, or who Mr. Horton truly loves. I just want to say that Madeleine saved Mr.
Horton’s life when she was little, and he promised to marry her. The state she’s in now is all because of
Mr. Horton, so he must take responsibility for her!”
Keira looked at her and then at the reporters who had already shown sympathy on their faces, and she
let out a cold laugh.
Madeleine had been abused by her parents as a child, which led to her psychological issues.
Where was this image of a kind-hearted mother coming from?
This was definitely another ruse from the Horton family’s first branch.

anwhile.
At the Horton family.
The driver from Horton’s old house woke up and suddenly realized he had forgotten a very important
thing.
Old Mr. Horton had told him he must inform Lewis
that the package was for Stubborn Five!
It was the package he had been waiting for many
years…
Rembering this, the driver slapped his head, stood up, walked out, and prepared to find Lewis to
deliver the ssage!
As he stepped out, he saw Lewis striding toward the parking area.
The driver imdiately quickened his pace, chasing after him while shouting.
“Mr. Horton! Mr. Horton! Mr. Horton Senior asked to tell you that the package is the one you’ve
been waiting for many years…”
