Chapter 131 - 131
Chapter 131: Chapter 131
Mrs. Olsen’s questions were a bit urgent.
She didn’t know what result she wanted.
Nor did she know what she would face in the future; all she knew was that she urgently wanted to understand whether Keira Olsen and Taylor Olsen really had a parent-child relationship or not!
After all, amniocentesis should be impossible to fake.
So how could the daughter born to Poppy Hill not be Taylor Olsen’s daughter?
Unless…
A thought flashed through her mind.
Mrs. Olsen was pondering this when she heard Aunt South speak up:
“Madam, what’s the rush? Normal tests take three days to produce results.”
“Oh.”
Mrs. Olsen felt somewhat disappointed. The fleeting inspiration was lost with Aunt South’s interruption, and she couldn’t recall it anymore.
Well, she thought, let’s wait for the results then.
…
Keira Olsen had no idea that such a drama was unfolding at the Olsen Family’s doorstep.
At the moment, she had returned to the small villa in the Horton Family compound where Old Mrs. Horton lived. She was back in her own bedroom and had already messaged Lewis informing him of her return, so he didn’t need to pick her up from the Olsen Family anymore.
But Lewis still had not replied to her messages.
At first, Keira didn’t think much of it, but when it was midnight and there was still no message from him on WhatsApp, she couldn’t help but look at her phone.
She was always a calm person; if someone didn’t reply to her messages, she never worried.
But this time…
Had Lewis encountered some trouble?
She suddenly felt worried and simply took out her phone to send a WhatsApp message to Tom Davis: “Is Mr. Horton still busy?”
Tom Davis immediately replied: “Yes, there’s a bit of trouble.”
Keira Olsen: “If there’s anything I can help with, just tell me.”
Tom Davis: “Well, this isn’t something you can really get involved in.”
Keira Olsen: “?”
Tom Davis: “I don’t dare to say, you should ask the boss when you have time.”
Keira Olsen frowned at the last message.
What could be unspeakable?
She tilted her head slightly.
Could it be that Lewis had a kept woman outside?
The thought seemed a bit absurd to her.
Recently, Lewis had nearly spent every evening accompanying his grandmother, and she was there too. Even when she was framed as a murderer and locked up, Lewis had been…
Oh, no, that’s not right; the night she was hospitalized, Lewis didn’t come back all night.
Was there a connection between these two days?
Keira shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
She simply lay down to sleep.
The next day, Keira didn’t wake up until nine o’clock. When she opened her bedroom door, she saw Fiona and Old Mrs. Horton sitting on the couch.
She casually walked over and asked, “Did Mr. Horton go to work?”
Fiona immediately hesitated.
Keira asked, “What’s wrong?”
Fiona coughed and glanced at old Mrs. Horton, “Well, Mr. Horton didn’t come back at all last night.”
Keira furrowed her brows.
She took out her phone and saw that there was still no reply on WhatsApp.
She tensed her jaw.
Old Mrs. Horton immediately picked up her phone upon seeing this, “Where is that brat off to? Not even coming home at night, doesn’t he know that this can greatly affect you guys making babies?”
Keira Olsen: “…”
Just as Old Mrs. Horton made the call, a ringtone sounded from outside the door.
Everyone looked over, only to see Lewis Horton stride in.
The man must have stayed up all night; his brows and eyes looked somewhat weary, a hint of scarlet in his orbs.
He was now fishing out his phone from his pocket, saw it was the old lady and hung up, then said, “Sorry, I just came back to take a shower and change clothes.”
After he hung up the call, he seemed to notice the message Keira had sent on WhatsApp, so he lifted his eyelids and looked at her, “Sorry, I didn’t look at my phone last night.”
He had been so busy the entire night… he hadn’t checked his phone.
What was he busy with?
Though Keira was somewhat curious, she still nodded in understanding.
She was never one to make a fuss.
Lewis Horton walked toward the bedroom, but suddenly paused, turning his gaze toward Keira.
The girl today wore a small blazer and slim-fit jeans underneath. She looked more formal than usual, obviously preparing to head out.
He asked, “Are you… going somewhere?”
“Yes, it’s…” Keira saw the fatigue on his face and swallowed the matter about Professor Miller’s birthday, “There’s something at the company, I’ll go check it out.”
She and Samuel Morgan had a company that was recently busy with going public, and Lewis Horton was aware of this, so he nodded and left her with a “If you need help, just ask,” before entering the bedroom.
Keira wasn’t exactly lying.
After breakfast, she truly did go to the company. There were documents Samuel needed her to sign and some work waiting for her attention.
She previously chose one day each week to get through it.
Lately, things had been busier, and work had piled up. So she was occupied until half-past eleven, only after finishing did she go to Professor Miller’s birthday party.
…
Lewis Horton took a shower and then lay on the couch, catching up on two hours of sleep.
Without setting an alarm, his strong self-control ensured he woke up promptly at eleven, then he put on a new suit, got ready, and walked out the door.
Only then did he discover that Isla Olsen and Jake Horton were present; they were chatting with Old Mrs. Horton.
Lewis Horton originally didn’t intend to engage with them, but just as he was about to leave, he heard Isla raise her voice deliberately, “Great Grandmother, we’ll go to Professor Miller’s birthday later. Jake and I will attend his party, and Keira will too. Oh yes, her husband is also going.”
Lewis Horton’s steps immediately halted.
Her husband is going too?
How did he not know about this?
He furrowed his brows and then stopped in his tracks, turned to pour himself a glass of water, no longer in a hurry to leave.
Sure enough, without him needing to say anything, Old Mrs. Horton spoke up, “That brat is going too? Then why didn’t you leave together with your granddaughter-in-law!”
Isla remarked, “Great Grandmother, you really got it wrong, Keira isn’t your granddaughter-in-law. She’s married and has a husband. Yesterday, Jake and I saw him at the Olsen home!”
Lewis Horton, while drinking water: ??
His eyebrows suddenly knitted together, and with a piercing gaze, a formidable pressure instantly bore down!
Isla also felt this rage. Under that intimidating gaze, she said, “Mr. Horton, it’s true. Her husband is a construction worker, working at a site. He’s also going to our class reunion later.”
A construction worker? Working at a construction site?
Lewis Horton felt as if he couldn’t breathe properly. Is this how these people looked down on Keira Olsen?
He suddenly realized that earlier today, when he asked Keira where she was going, she had hesitated before answering… obviously worried about disturbing his rest.
He hadn’t accompanied her to the Olsen home last night, and today’s reunion was bound to be another round of comparisons.
Lewis Horton spoke up, “Where is the reunion?”
Isla promptly said, “Jake arranged it, at the Emperor Palace Hotel.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis Horton grabbed his blazer and turned to leave.
Getting into the car, the driver asked, “Sir, where to?”
“Emperor Palace Hotel.”
What do you think?
