485 Chapter 484
Keira was about to greet old Mrs. Horton when suddenly a beeping tone came from the phone.
She paused slightly and then realized that old Mrs. Horton had hung up.
She was speechless.
Lewis couldn’t help but smile ruefully. “Grandma only acknowledges one granddaughter–in–law, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Keira shook her head.
Lewis also had no intention of calling back.
Discussing these matters over the phone was too risky; if the mobile phone was monitored, Keira’s identity would be exposed.
For now, she still needed to maintain her sister’s identity to try and save her mother.
Lewis, of course, wouldn’t expose her identity in public.
Keira said, “Let’s visit Grandma another day.”
485 Chapter 484
“There’s no need to wait for another day,” said Lewis, his eyes cast down. “There’s a banquet at the Horton residence in a few days. It’s the first banquet since my arrival in Clance, so it’s also our first appearance. The Horton family views it as important and has already sent invitations to all the major families. You, as my fiancée, have to attend as well.”
Upon hearing this, Keira turned to look at Lewis. “A banquet? Under what pretext is it being held?”
As soon as she asked, Lewis’s expression stiffened slightly.
He coughed, turned his head to the side, and suddenly turned his back on Keira. “There’s no particular reason; it’s just a casual event.”
Of course, it was held in the name of his birthday!
But Keira didn’t seem to care about him, probably not even remembering his birthday!
Lewis felt somewhat gloomy.
Although he understood she was under a lot of pressure recently, carrying a heavy burden, it still bothered him that she didn’t remember his birthday…
Louis Inour he shouldn’t he ungot over such a trivial
485 Chapter 484
matter.
But he just couldn’t help it.
Seeing him turn his back, Keira didn’t think much of it and simply said, “It’s fine to have a banquet without any particular reason… Okay then, let’s go to bed.”
And then there was silence.
Lewis was perplexed.
He slowly turned around to find that Keira had already fallen asleep.
Her face was buried into the pillow, her lengthy hair spread across the entire surface, giving her a docile look with her eyes closed.
Yet the mole at the corner of her eye exuded an
innocent charm.
Lewis was utterly enchanted by her.
He watched her quietly and, in the end, could only let out a helpless sigh and closed his eyes.
That night, he had trouble sleeping and even dreamed Keira had dragged him shopping for clothes for Amy. However, when they got to the mall, she suddenly
485 Chapter 484
handed him a birthday gift: “Here, happy birthday. This is for you.”
In the dream, the smile never left his face.
Unfortunately, when the first rays of dawn shone on his face, Lewis woke up to realize it was just a beautiful dream.
He watched the ceiling quietly and turned to the still–sleeping woman beside him, suddenly breaking into a resigned smile.
Keira had been so busy lately, her mind occupied with completing the South family’s task and rescuing her mother. How could she possibly remember his birthday?
He was expecting too much.
How could he be upset with her over such a minor
issue?
The man who had sulked all night long thus talked himself out of his mood.
After breakfast
485 Chapter 484
Keira suddenly said, “The collaboration with the Gill family is complete, and today, we’re just waiting for the contract signing and their new feedback. Why don’t we go shopping instead of waiting around at home?”
Her words made Lewis’s eyes light up slightly.
He suddenly looked up at Keira but couldn’t read any expression on her calm face.
Did she remember?
Or was it just a casual invitation to go shopping?
Lewis cleared his throat. “What are we shopping for?”
Keira said, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be for anything specific. We’ll just look around.”
Just browsing around, indeed!
Lewis put on a slight smile. “Sure!”
After breakfast, the two let the nanny stay at home with Amy and told Mary to rest well before they left
the house.
There was no sign of Ellis at the doorway.
However, when leaving the residential area, Keira
485 Chapter 484
vaguely saw Ellis’s car hidden in an inconspicuous
corner.
The car windows were tinted, allowing someone inside to see out but preventing those outside from seeing the person in the car. Therefore, she couldn’t tell if
Ellis was there.
Keira asked, “Is Ellis still having a fever?”
Ellis had stood in the rain all night and got a fever by the afternoon. James had even come to see her
because of this.
Lewis answered, “His temperature went down last night.”
He also glanced at Ellis’s car and suddenly wondered if Mary would eventually forgive Ellis.
While he was lost in thought, they arrived at the shopping mall.
Clance’s largest luxury mall was located within the third zone, and its parking garage was full of expensive
cars.
After parking their car, they went upstairs together.
Lewis watched Keira, trying to deduce from her few
485 Chapter 484
words whether she knew that his birthday was the day
after tomorrow.
Unfortunately, she seemed indifferent while shopping, showing no sign of knowing.
Lewis decided not to guess anymore and to wait for the final surprise.
Keira shopped without much purpose, popping into stores that piqued her interest, and ended up buying two hair clips for Amy.
She didn’t find anything exciting.
The two then wandered into a Cartier boutique…
“There should be something here that would make a good gift for me, like cufflinks…”
Lewis thought this to himself, only to see Keira casually browse for a while and then seem
uninterested as she walked out.
Lewis was perplexed.
