Mrs. Jones looked at Lewis in confusion, then glanced at Keira. feeling like she must have misheard.
“What?” a Lewis didn’t want to say anything more.
Keira just smiled and said, “Just listen to him, and have your husband take the contract to Horton
Group first thing in the morning.”
Mrs. Jones was perplexed.
She couldn’t help but size up Lewis again, noticing the noble aura of a privileged young man. Despite
his sports shirt, he didn’t seem like an ordinary person.
Could he be a mber of the Horton family?
As Mrs. Jones thought about this, she saw Keira pick up Amy and sit in the back seat of the car, with
Lewis behind the wheel.
Mrs. Jones was speechless.
This person seed to be Keera’s driver, right?
Or possibly Keera’s husband?
She was really overthinking it.
Mrs. Jones shook her head, bent down to pick up her son, and got into the car to return ho.
On the way ho, Amy wrapped her arms tightly around Keira; the little girl felt no sense of security at
that mont.
In a weak voice, she asked, “Mom, did I cause trouble for our family?”
Hearing this, Keira’s heart lted, and hugged the girl. “No, Amy is the best-behaved.”
The little girl didn’t understand deceit and didn’t know her mother had changed, but she instinctively felt
uneasy and clung onto Keira as she said, “Mom, will you abandon Amy?”
“Of course not.”
Keira gently patted her back, and Amy didn’t let go until they got ho.
So, that evening, Keira had an extra attachnt to her body.
During dinner, Amy insisted on sitting on her lap.
When Keira was dealing with company matters that night, Amy also needed to be there…
When she had finished her work, it was already dark. Keira had just stood up when Lewis ca over
and stretched out his hand. “I’ll take Amy back to her
room.”
Keira didn’t think much of it and handed Amy over to him.
But perhaps sensing her mother’s scent, Amy imdiately started squirming restlessly in Lewis’s arms
as soon as she was in them, calling out with her eyes closed, “Mommy, mommy…”
Keira, feeling helpless, had to reach out again and t the child back into her arms.
She carried Amy to her bedroom and after placing he on the bed, the little girl still clung tightly to her
sleeve, unwilling to let her leave.
Keira lay down beside her.
After an unknown amount of ti, there was a noise at the door, and as Keira turned her head, she
glimpsed
Lewis standing there.
The bedroom lights were off, and the dim light from the hallway spilled over him.
The man had just taken a shower, his hair still dripping with water. He wore a robe that was slightly
open at the neckline, his dark eyes fixated on her.
Though not a word was spoken, the invitation was clear.
Keira blinked, pointed at the sleeve Amy was pulling on, and didn’t move.
Lewis seed to understand and walked away.
Keira thought he had got her ssage and found a comfortable position to lie down, ready to spend the
night with Amy.
But just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a faint noise again.
Slowly turning her head, Keira saw Lewis standing by the bed, bending over, doing sothing.
Then, she heard a click, and the arm that Amy was
pulling on suddenly felt lighter.
Keira was perplexed.
Looking down, she suddenly realized that Lewis had taken a pair of scissors and cut open her pajamas
and the place Amy was clutching!
Keira was shocked.
Just as she was about to say sothing, the man made a “shush” sound at her, and then a large hand
enveloped her shoulders and legs. Before she knew it, she was being carried away.
Lewis moved quietly, not disturbing Amy, and swiftly carried her out of the nursery and back to the
master
bedroom.
Keira asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m letting you try out the new bed.”
Keira looked at him with a smile, “Really? Just trying out the new bed?”
Both being adults, Keira understood all too well how starving for affection a man like Lewis, after 28
years of singleness, would be once he started indulging.
Lewis’s face remained tense, yet his ears slowly turned
a shade of red.
He really couldn’t take a tease…
While Keira was thinking about this, she saw Lewis suddenly shed his night-robe. “And try out the
person again.”
Suddenly, the lights in the master bedroom were turned off, and rustling sounds filled the room.
Keira thought she was quite fit, but she simply couldn’t keep up with the man…
She didn’t rember when she fell asleep, only recalling the last monts of exhaustion, drifting off as
Lewis asked in her ear, “Is the bed comfortable?”
She said, “It’s comfortable.”
She was so close to passing out!
Then she heard Lewis ask, “And what about ?
Comfortable?”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
While she had a good night’s sleep, Mrs. Jones was filled with concern the whole evening.
Her husband, hoping to be seen favorably by the Horton Group, worked late into the night before he
ca ho.
Upon arriving ho, he saw Mrs. Jones’s worried face and imdiately asked what had happened.
Mrs. Jones recounted the day’s events at the kindergarten and began apologetically. “I’m sorry. I might
have hindered sothing important for you.”
life.
Mr. Jones was quite reasonable. “She saved your We can’t just watch her predicant without helping.
What you did was right.”
Mrs. Jones felt a warmth in her chest and beca even more apologetic.
She nestled in her husband’s embrace. “What happens if we can’t secure the project?”
Mr. Jones comforted her. “If we can’t get it, we’ll continue to be a second-rate wealthy family. What’s
wrong? Isn’t the company earning enough for us?”
Mrs. Jones chuckled. “But Keera and that man with her said you should take the contract and sign with
the Horton Group tomorrow…”
Mr. Jones couldn’t help but laugh. “How is that possible? I haven’t received any news from my side…
Besides honestly, we might not have been chosen
–
anyway, there’s another company with stronger capabilities that might be a better fit for the Horton
Group.”
Mr. Jones sighed, which was why he had to work urgently late into the night.
Mrs. Jones simply nodded in response.
After the two lay down, having only rested for three hours, Mrs. Jones sat up. “Why don’t you try going
to the Horton Group? Miss Keera seed quite certain, not like soone who would speak
flippantly…”
Mr. Jones responded with a wry smile to her words. “Without a call from the Horton Group, what’s there
to
try?”
Mrs. Jones pushed him. “Just take the contract and give it a try. What harm could it do? Just go and
see!”
Half an hour later.
Mr. Jones stood at the Horton Group’s temporary office in Clance, chuckling at himself.
He really was bewitched, why had he listened to his wife and co all the way here?
Mr. Jones looked down at the contract and was about
