My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 240

240 She Doesn’t Want Him 

Anymore 

Horton residence. 

Keira’s words didn’t surprise Lewis too much. 

She had always been a free-spirited woman. 

But Lewis’s chest was still clenched tightly, his mouth agape. He wanted to refuse, to say no, to ask her to wait a little longer for him, and to give him more time. He was sure he could think of a better solution. 

But before he could speak, Keira stood up, her gaze fixed on him. “I don’t mean to pressure you, but I’ve thought a lot, and this might be the only way.” 

Lewis clenched his jaw, squeezing his fists. “Keira, I…” 

“You’ve tried your best, and you chose me. I know that.” Keira looked at him. “But you can’t really watch 

her die.” 

-Lewis frowned. “I can.” 

“You can now,” Keira met his gaze. “But what about the 

future?”

Lewis paused. 

“You’ll feel guilty about her, and this guilt will be forever buried deep in your heart, Lewis. I don’t want you to bear such pressure.” 

The room’s light was very dim. 

Keira couldn’t see the expression on Lewis’s face, but she was in a state of dejection, her shoulders drooping slightly. 

She said, word by word, “Lewis, I know how terrible this feeling is.” 

For the last twenty-two years, she had lived in guilt toward the Olsen family. 

She truly believed it was her existence that prevented Taylor and Mrs. Olsen from being together, and although she finally left after more than a decade of slaving away for the Olsen family, the weight in her heart never lifted. 

Every time she faced Isla, despite telling herself she wasn’t at fault, that she couldn’t choose her own birth, she still felt guilty and was unable to raise her head in Isla’s presence.

It was a helpless debt. 

One couldn’t choose one’s background. 

Nor could one change life or death. 

Once a person died, that was it. 

No matter how much one regretted, one could never 

make amends. 

Lewis, who appeared cold and aloof, actually cared deeply for those around him 

Madeleine once saved his life, so if he just gave up on her like this, Lewis would spend the rest of his life living with guilt toward Madeleine; Keira didn’t want 

that for him. 

Yet Lewis stepped forward, his voice trembling. “But compared to that, I can’t bear to lose you even more.” 

Keira lowered her eyes, smiling. “Lewis, be sensible. You know that this is the best choice for both of us.” 

“I…” 

Suddenly, Keira took a step forward and hugged him tightly. 

This action trapped the words in Lewis’s throat.

Keira then laughed. “Lewis, don’t be so down. I’m quite used to your domineering demeanor. Besides…” 

Her voice was muffled. “This marriage was bizarre from the start. I always feel like someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Maybe if we get a divorce, that person behind the scenes has to show themselves?” 

She said all these words quietly. 

After that, she stood up straight and patted Lewis’s shoulder. “Alright, see you at the courthouse tomorrow. Don’t stand me up.” 

Leaving those words behind, she turned to leave. 

But her arm was tightly grasped by Lewis. 

Keira didn’t look back. 

She was never a coquette, but seeing Madeleine clinging to Lewis’s hand, affectionately calling him “big brother,” it was a lie to say she wasn’t jealous. 

Love was inherently selfish and possessive. 

For a moment, both of them were motionless. 

It wasn’t clear how much time had passed when Lewis

finally let go of her hand. 

Only then did Keira leave. 

She hurried into the room next door, her own room. 

And the moment she closed the door, a tear suddenly 

rolled down. 

One must not be too greedy. 

She was accustomed to hardship from a young age, but now, she not only had Lewis but also had Jodie South as a mother… 

Indeed, whatever destiny gave you, it would take something else away. 

Keira got into bed and buried her head deeply into the 

blanket. 

If she had known it would turn out like this, she should 

have controlled herself and not fallen for him… 

She didn’t regret bringing up the divorce because she knew if she hadn’t, he would have been the one to speak up eventually… 

This was better. 

She hadn’t been abandoned; it was she who didn’t

want him… 

In the room separated from hers by just one wall. 

Lewis stood dazed at the door. 

The way she walked away made him feel an emptiness inside. Irritated, he took off his tie and walked toward 

the balcony. 

The last few days had brought a drop in temperature, and even in Oceanion, the temperature had fallen to 

below zero. 

He took off his coat, now standing there in just his shirt, gazing toward Keira’s room. 

The light in her room was off… 

She might have fallen asleep 

Or perhaps, like him, she couldn’t sleep at all. 

Lewis took out another cigarette. 

Perhaps because the weather was too cold, he noticed his hand was trembling slightly. 

After lighting the cigarette, he took a long drag as if to inhale the harsh flavor into each and every organ… 

He choked and coughed a four times and his area

were wet. 

Something fell onto his hand. 

Lewis glanced at it and gently wiped it away. 

The morning arrived quickly. 

With the light of dawn, Keira opened her eyes. 

She wasn’t sure if she had slept last night; the entire night felt muddled, with the faint sound of coughing next door occasionally reaching her ears. 

But the insulation of old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard was 

excellent. 

She knew it was her imagination. 

She got out of bed and went to the door.
