My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

119 Husband and Wife

Keira only knew that Mrs. Olsen’s family was from Clance, but throughout all these years in Oceanion, she had

never made contact with them.

Moreover, no one from her maternal family in Clance

had ever visited her.

Yet the last tMrs. Olsen appeared, she had been treated with such courtesy by the Allen family...

This tshe didn’t know what Mrs. Olsen had said to

Melissa to make the latter change her attitude so drastically. Keira really wanted to know what kind of family

could raise someone like Mrs. Olsen.

Old Mrs. Horton shook her head. “I have no idea.

What's our in-law’s background?”

Melissa laughed. “She didn’t specify her background. However, she mentioned that she was acquainted with

several prestigious families in Clance and that she could introduce sconnections for Jake, which could be

beneficial since the Horton family, because of Lewis's circumstances, doesn’t have many contacts there. If Jake

could penetrate the market in Clance, he

would definitely lead the Horton family to even greater heights in the future. Isn't that right, Grandma?”

Only then did Keira understand why Melissa wanted Isla to marry into the family, even if it meant not getting any

shares.

Most families in Clance were powerful and influential.

Originally, the Horton family had sought an alliance with them, which led to the arranged marriage of Lewis's

parents. Unfortunately, not only did this marriage fail to open up the market, but it also turned the Horton family

into a thorn in the side for those in

Clance.

If Jake could forge this path, his position within the Horton Group would undoubtedly rise with the tide!

If he could bring sufficient benefits to the Horton family, even if he was at a disadvantage in terms of shares, he

could still replace Lewis as the next CEO!

After all, Melissa's acceptance of Isla was all because of

her interests.

And the exchange that just took place between Melissa and old Mrs. Horton was a trade.

Old Mrs. Horton wouldn't stop Isla from joining the family, and Melissa would no longer insist on the five percent

of shares.

Seeing that she wanted to leave, old Mrs. Horton still couldn't help but speak up persuasively, “Having interests

tied together is ultimately unreliable. You still need to ask Jake about this marriage arrangement.”

Melissa thought old Mrs. Horton was trying to prevent the rise of the first branch of the family and narrowed her

eyes, “Grandma, Lewis did find someone sincere, but how did that turn out? Aren’t the couple living apart, and

now they don’t even have a child? If you have free time, you should pay more attention to his personal issues,

especially since you're keeping such a woman in the house as a mistress... Let's not have any more scandals.”

After a glance at Keira, she sneered and left.

Old Mrs. Horton didn’t understand the implication. “How are they living apart? My granddaughter-in-law, aren't

you and the brat living at home? How strange people speak!”

Keira soothed her, “Grandma, she’s talking nonsense.

Don't take it to heart.”

But old Mrs. Horton sighed again. “Nevertheless, she did have a point. You and the brat have been married for

two years now. Why isn’t anything happening? My granddaughter-in-law, is the brat not up to the task?”

Keira was shocked.

How would she know if Lewis was up to the task?

She quickly asked, “Grandma, what's for dinner tonight?”

“Right, what should we have?”

Thinking she had successfully changed the subject, Keira didn’t expect old Mrs. Horton’s next words to be, “What

should we eat to boost virility? Oysters?”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

So, when Lewis chfor dinner that evening, was greeted with a menu that included: stir-fried oysters,

roasted oysters, shrimps, steaks, as well as ten

other dishes.

Lewis didn’t initially realize anything was amiss. He

washed his hands, changed into his loungewear, and sat down at the dining table.

Old Mrs. Horton started to put food on his plate. “Brat,

eat up!”

The food on Lewis's plate slowly piled into a small mountain before his eyes.

He couldn't help but interject. “Grandma, stop. | can’t

finish all this.”

“How can you not finish?” Old Mrs. Horton looked him up and down seriously, “You're too thin, no wonder you're

not performing well, you need to eat more.”

Lewis was baffled, “Not performing well at what?”

Just as old Mrs. Horton was about to speak, Keira, frightened, immediately shouted, “Eating! Grandma means

you're not good at eating!”

Lewis, completely puzzled, turned to old Mrs. Horto

Old Mrs. Horton continued. “Right, eat more.”

Keira breathed a sigh of relief, then heard the old lady say, “If you don’t eat more, how are you going to give me

a great-grandson!”

Keira was speechless.

Lewis's gaze swept across the dishes on the table and suddenly everything clicked.

His face instantly turned red, and he coughed once before lowering his head to start eating.

After dinner, the couple prepared to chat with old Mrs. Horton for a while.

However, Old Mrs. Horton pointed toward Lewis's room and said, “No need to keepcompany, you

newlyweds. Go make a baby already!”

Keira couldn't take it anymore and with a bitter smile,

she said, “Grandma, Mr. Horton and I...”

“Oh my, my chest hurts.” Old Mrs. Horton suddenly furrowed her brows and clutched at her chest, then looked at

her, “What were you going to say, granddaughter-in-law?”

Keira recalled the tshe and Lewis talked about divorce, and the old lady fainted and was rushed for

emergency care. She immediately changed her tune. “It’s nothing”

She glared at Lewis but saw he seemed to have a smile on his lips and, surprisingly, he didn’t refuse.

Old Mrs. Horton then held onto Fiona’s hand, “I'll lie

down here for a while, you two should go to bed early

too. Go on, go...”

Keira walked awkwardly to the door of Lewis's room under old Mrs. Horton’s watchful gaze.

Both turned their heads back simultaneously only to see old Mrs. Horton looking at them intently, fists clenched.

“You can do it. You can do it!”

Then she covered her chest again, “Oh, | feel uncomfortable.”

Keira wanted to say something more, but her wrist was suddenly taken by Lewis, and he said quietly with

downcast eyes, “Miss Olsen, Grandma can’t be agitated.”

Keira helplessly followed him inside. The moment the bedroom door closed, the old lady got up from the couch

with Fiona and approached the door. She listened intently to the sounds from inside.

“Fiona, do you think | can have a great-grandchild tonight?”

“With a little effort, definitely!”

Seeing all this through the peephole, Keira was speechless.

Keira cleared her throat. “I guess Isla’s pregnancy must

have excited Grandma.”

Lewis raised an eyebrow, keeping his gaze on her.

He walked over and sat on the couch.

They didn’t know whether it was the dishes they ate earlier, but the room felt a bit warm. The usually spacious

bedroom now somehow seemed a bit cramped.

Lewis loosened his tie, trying to change the subjec heard Mrs. Olsen ctoday and secured the

marriage?”

“Yes.” Keira briefly explained the situation of the day then asked, “Should | reveal that Isla’s child isn’t

Jake's?”

“Don’t worry about that.” Lewis's voice was a bit hoarse. “Did you think the Horton family bloodline

12:49

would be that easily confused?”

Keira was taken aback.

Lewis went on to say, “What my sister-in-law is after is Mrs. Olsen’s connections.”

Mentioning this, he spoke indifferently. “By the way, | investigated Mrs. Olsen’s background today. Are you

interested to know?”

Of course, she was interested.

Keira walked over and sat opposite him, only to feel his gaze like fire as if it would devour her completely. She

too felt a heat rush to her cheeks.

She quickly said, “What did you find?”

As she finished, she didn’t hear Lewis's response.

When she turned her head to look, she saw the m clutching his fists tightly, and his forehead beaded fine sweat.

Keira was startled and asked, “What's wrong?”

The next moment, her waist was gripped by a large hand, and everything seemed to spin. By the tshe

regained her senses, she was already pinned beneath

him.

His breathing was scorching and red flames seemed to flicker in his eyes.

Keira tried to push him away, but she found she had no strength at all.

That was...

Her pupils contracted in an instant.

They weren't in their right minds!

Did old Mrs. Horton play a trick?

As panic set in her heart, she tried to push Lewis away, but he seemed to be beyond self-control, and with a

fierce movement, he lowered his head and swallowed

all her words...
