Keira never knew that an embrace could be so warm, bestowing a sense of security in one’s heart.
At the mont of the hug, she even felt as though her
hollow heart had been filled.
Even won who were always strong and independent sotis needed consolation and
companionship.
She rested her head on his shoulder.
The two quietly leaned on each other.
Lewis’s deep voice reached her ears. “Keira, is that
you?”
His voice carried uncertainty.
Keira sighed inwardly, ready to confirm her identity when suddenly a commotion erupted from the
doorway.
The nanny she hired was shouting, “What are you
doing? This is the South family’s ho. How can you trespass like this?”
<
Then ca Howard’s mother’s loud and aggressive voice. “What South family? Who are you? Where’s
Keera? You’re blocking us from entering. Is she inside. fooling around with so other man?”
Howard also angrily rebuked, “Get out of the way! I’m Keera’s husband, and I’m here to settle the score
with
her!”
How could a single nanny fend off these two hooligans?
The sound of footsteps drew closer, and Keira hurriedly pushed Lewis away, pointing to a room on the
first floor where the nanny took Amy to play.
Lewis’s gaze grew deeper, but he didn’t move.
Keira imdiately clasped her hands together in a
pleading gesture.
The girl’s eyes were sharp with no trace of weaknes from just monts ago!
These were clearly Keira’s eyes!
Lewis looked stunned for a mont.
Seeing he wasn’t moving, Keira quickly grabbed his
arm and pushed him into the small bedroom on the
first floor.
Just after closing the door, Howard and his mother stord in with a formidable presence.
As soon as they entered, Howard’s mother’s gaze fell on her. “Keera, what’s this about a nanny?
Where did you get the money to hire a nanny?!”
Keira looked at her. “That seems to be none of your business anymore, doesn’t it?”
Howard’s mother beca furious. “How is it not my business? When you divorced Howard, he left with
nothing! Did you hide so money? Or did it co from your parents?”
Upon hearing this, Keira scoffed. “Before the divorce Howard should have had his lawyer clarify how
mu property I had, right? What, do you regret it now? Considering today is the first day since the
divorce, can compromise. Otherwise, all assets would have gone to Howard, and I would only take
Amy and be without a penny.”
Her collaboration with Davis Corporation and Olsen Group hadn’t been made public yet.
Upon hearing this. Howard’s mother imdiately said.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself! The twenty million debt is from your parents’ company. Don’t think you
can leave it to Howard!”
She paused slightly, realizing sothing. “I get it now. You must have sold your bridal jewelry, right?
Keera, you still have debts, and the court will make its judgnt tomorrow. Better save whatever
money you have rather than spend it. You hired a nanny, but why don’t you just do the household work
yourself? The money for hiring a nanny would be better spent on buying so health
supplents!”
During the past month, Keira had been compliant with her, and since it was inconvenient to take money
from her own account to avoid attracting attention, Mary had given her several tens of thousands to get
by.
With that money, Keira bought Howard’s mother a variety of nutritional products and a lot of clothes.
Howard’s mother was practically spoiled by her like an Empress Dowager!
Keira looked at her shaless deanor and
responded indifferently, “Since we’re already divorced, you’re no longer my mother-in-law. How I live
my life
going forward is none of your concern.”
“You!” Howard’s mother extended her finger. “I did this for your own good. You’re truly ungrateful!”
Seeing that she wanted to say more, Keira cut off her endless chatter. “What did you co here for
today?”
Howard said, “You did that on purpose today at the courthouse, didn’t you? You made us lose so much
face. Cindy went ho with stomach pains, and I want you to go and apologize to her right now!”
Keira looked at him as if he were a fool, feeling like the
whole world had beco surreal.
How on earth did Keera go blind and marry such an
unreasonable man?!
She lowered her gaze. “Howard, do you think we’re s husband and wife? Why should I still listen to
you?”
Howard was stunned.
Keira then said indifferently, “After the divorce, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
Howard suddenly stepped forward, grabbing her wrist. “Keera, what do you an by this? We’re just
divorced,
HOR
and you can’t wait to cut ties with . Do you have another man already?”
His words made Keira chuckle. “Howard, the one who actually has soone else is you. I’ve been at
ho taking care of our children and your mother, never stepping out of line!”
Howard was speechless.
Keira then turned to look at Howard’s mother. “And you, I’ve always prided myself on being a dutiful
daughter-in-law to you. Why did you insist on Howard divorcing ?”
Howard’s mother curled her lips. “Taking care of your mother-in-law is what any daughter-in-law should
do.
Even if it weren’t you, any woman Howard marries would treat well. Do you think you deserve cred
Not being able to give birth to a son is your biggest failure!”
Keira’s lips curved slightly. “Any daughter-in-law can take good care of her mother-in-law?”
Howard’s mother tilted her chin up. “Of course, Cindy will only treat better than you! She was
always asking warmly about my well-being, and she’ll take
care of even better than you in the future!”
“Is that so?”
Keira didn’t argue.
Howard dragged her toward the door. “Stop talking nonsense. I order you to co with right now to
apologize to Cindy. Moreover, I want you to take care of her for a while until the baby settles down, or
else I won’t let you off!”
Keira pushed him away forcefully. “Let go of !”
From inside, the sound of Amy crying ca out,
“Mommy…”
But then it seed like soone had soothed her.
Upon hearing this sound, Howard’s expression changed drastically. “Well, well, Keera, you really did
hide soone! That explains why you were so eager t get divorced! You’ve already found soone
else!”
Howard’s mother also charged over. “You shaless wretch. You must have found your lover during
your marriage. Howard, open the door for now. I want to see what kind of bastard is willing to take a
divorcee like her, with baggage in tow!”
After saying that, Howard’s mother grabbed Keira’s arm. “Howard, go open the door! Catch him and
make that man compensate us, otherwise, we won’t let this go today!”
Hearing this, Howard didn’t wait for his mother to tell him what to do; he rushed to the door and was
about
to kick it in.
But the door opened from inside.
Imdiately, a tall and upright man stepped out.
When Howard and his mother saw him, they were dumbfounded. “Mr. Horton? What are you doing
here?!”
