A glass door separated the lively sounds in the living room.
Keira was staring intently at Lewis Horton, observing his reactions.
Upon hearing the way she addressed him, he became even more unapproachable. His dark eyes harbored a frosty gaze, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, and he turned to head back to the living room.
Keira quickly stepped forward, blocking his way.
Lewis frowned a little. “Out of my way.”
His voice was deep and pleasant, and his tone carried a touch of elegance, which made people want to hear him speak even more.
Keira suspected something. “You… don’t recognize me?”
Lewis looked down at her. “Should I?”
Upon entering the Olsen family home, he felt that an odd pair of eyes were closely following him.
That gaze was open and transparent, a far cry from the obsequious and nauseating glances of others.
That was why Lewis gave her a few more glances.
The girl was very beautiful. Her skin was fair. Her amorous eyes and the mole at the corner of her eye were attractive but not flirtatious. Although she stood in the corner obediently, she exuded a vague rebellious aura.
And when she noticed him looking at her, she didn’t evade. Instead, she looked right back at him.
He had initially thought she was different from the women who threw themselves at him but didn’t expect her to be even bolder than them. She addressed him as “honey”.
Lewis was a little impatient as he emphasized, “Miss, I’m married. Please behave.”
Keira was a bit stunned.
This man clearly didn’t recognize her, yet he said he was married. Was there a mistake in the Civil Affairs Bureau’s registration?
She asked, “May I ask who your wife is?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
His answer was short and cold.
Keira took out the photocopy of the marriage certificate and placed it in front of him, “Mr. Horton, this man is you, right?”
Lewis looked at the photocopy and noticed the name of the woman on it was Keira Olsen.
Looking up again, he mocked her. “Miss Olsen, an original isn’t expensive, right? You should be more professional if you’re forging this!”
With that, Lewis didn’t return to the living room. Instead, he strode off to the parking lot through the small garden.
Keira ran after him, trying to talk it through, but she was blocked by two black-suited bodyguards.
Keira stood her ground, calling out to him as he walked away. “Mr. Horton, this document is genuine. If you don’t believe it, you can check it with the Civil Affairs Bureau…”
Lewis didn’t stop. He got in the car and left straight away.
His personal assistant remained behind and returned to the living room, where he was met by Isla.
Isla had just witnessed Keira clinging to Lewis Horton but didn’t catch what exactly they were saying. Seeing Lewis leave and Keira riding out on her electric scooter to follow him, she immediately asked, “Why did Mr. Horton leave? Did someone offend him?”
The personal assistant smiled lightly. “Mr. Horton has some matters to attend to and had to leave early. Could you please inform the elders of the household, Miss Olsen?”
The boss didn’t reprimand the girl, which meant he didn’t hold it against her.
Isla immediately nodded, courteously seeing the assistant out.
After setting the wedding date and finishing lunch, the rest of the Horton family took their leave.
After seeing off the guests, Taylor was worried. “Why did Mr. Horton leave? Did we do anything to upset him?”
Thinking back to how Jake seemed distracted all day as if he was looking for someone, and then to Keira’s trouble-causing face, Isla clenched her fists.
Her eyes flickered. “Dad, I saw Keira pestering Mr. Horton. Mr. Horton seemed really angry when he left, and he left a message…”
“What message?”
