Divorce?
Lewisâs joyful expression stiffened momentarily.
Then he quickly realized what was going on and couldnât help but laugh at the absurdity of the
situation.
Keira didnât come back to him because of that?
His eyes had tears in them, yet he started laughing
again.
Stepping forward, he took Keiraâs hand with his right hand and led it to touch his left hand.
Keira frowned and thought this man was shameles
She had already said they were getting a divorce, and yet he dared to seduce her?
Just as she was about to pull her hand back, she suddenly touched something cool; she looked downand was stunned.
Wasnât this the ring she had sent to that young man?
The ring was made of jade, its emerald color clearly
indicating it was expensive. How did it end up in Lewisâs possession?
Furrowing her brows, she heard Lewis begin to speak slowly.
âWhen I was a child, I was kidnapped. A four-year-old little girl helped me by feeding the traffickerssleeping pills. She saved me but had to go home to suffer. Crying, she hugged me and asked me tomarry herâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Keira was shocked and looked at
him.
Lewis gave a bitter smile. âAfter I returned home, I searched for her, but the little girl didnât have a nameback then. When I found Madeleine, she remem everything from our childhood clearly and claim washer. I asked her for the ring as a token. She t me she lost it. She was abused by her parents, suff frommental illness, and had been waiting for me to
save herâ¦â
Looking earnestly at Keira, Lewis continued. âLater, when I received this ring, I realized I had beenblind for years and talking to the wrong person. I never found that little girl. All these years, sheâs been
sufferingâ¦â
Keiraâs eyes were filled with tears, and her throat felt choked up.
Looking at Lewis, she suddenly didnât know whether to cry or to laugh.
After a long while, she calmed herself down. âWhen did you receive the ring?â
Lewis looked at her, âOn the day of your accident.â
Keira looked down. âAnd yet you still asked me to meet for a divorce! Saying âDonât miss the 2 oâclock
appointment.â
Upon hearing this, Lewis quickly stepped forwar embraced her tightly. âKeira, do you know how n regretit?! I just wanted to surprise you, to tell you truth at the courthouse, to tell you Iâll marry no on
but you in this life, to tell you that you are my lifesav But I never imagined that you would be in an
า
accident⦠Carrying the news that we were to divorce, you had an accidentâ¦â
Since Keiraâs accident, he had refused to believe that the victim was her. He couldnât accept that reality,
partly because of this.
He had wanted to give her a surprise but never thought it would leave her departing in pain and
regret.
The mere thought of that moment on the boat, when she was suffocating, and she thought he stillwanted to divorce her, made his heart ache so much he couldnât
breathe!
Until today, until this moment, until now!
the
He was still filled with remorse and regret, questioning why he hadnât just explained everything overphone, why he had to come up with such a messy
surpriseâ¦
Keira felt the slight tremble of his body and sudde understood his intention.
She extended her arms and hugged him.
The response was an intense, shaking kissâ¦
The clothes she had just put on slid off once againâ¦
Both were not good with words, so they could only act, expressing their joy and passion at recognizingeach otherâ¦
Time and againâ¦
Lewis wished he could meld Keira into his body, wish they could become one and never be apartagainâ¦
The night grew deeper.
The white sheer curtains were blown by the wind,
swaying, and making the scene inside appear intermittently.
Even the moon in the sky seemed bashful, hiding behind the clouds, yet it couldnât help peekingthrough
a slitâ¦
A night of fiery passionâ¦
A night of unrestrained indulgenceâ¦
Lewis released his repressed longing time and
againâ¦
As a result, when Keira woke up the next day, it already ten in the morning.
She was startled, quickly glanced at the man lying n to her, then immediately jumped out of bed, flungopen the bedroom door, and dashed out, only to see Mary playfully texting on the living room couchdownstairs.
The maid was monning the floor.
Ceira exclaimed, âWhereâs Amy?â
Mary grinned teasingly at her and said, âKnew you u wouldnât be getting up today, so I sent her off tothe he arly learning center!â
eira was perplexed.
s she was puzzling over this, Mary had already heekily leaned in and bluntly said, âKeera, good for ou! Iwas wondering why you finally agreed to divorce hat scumbag Howard, turns out youâve got a newlame! Last night was pretty intenseâ¦â
eiraâs cheeks immediately turned a burning red.
âhinking about the excitement from last night, shelt
bit embarrassedâ¦
he hadnât expected Lewis, who seemed so
constrained, to have such a variety ofâ¦. moves. As sh eaned against the door, she couldnât hold backand le
âºut a moanâ¦
Keira hastily put a stop to the R-rated scenes in her âºrain, trying hard to forget the details of last night.She coughed and said, âWell, Iâ¦â
But Mary cut her off, speaking very seriously. âKeira,
thereâs no need to say anything, I understand. It was Howard who cheated first, so you finding a gigolois nothing to blame.â
After that, she added, âBut in the future, you should still temper it down. We have a long way to go! Youdonât want to exhaust him so soon, do you?â
âPffft!â
Keira was drinking water and when she heard the last sentence, she sprayed it out.
Mary dodged away in disgust, then her phone started to vibrate intensely again.
Keira drank some water and walked to the kitchen get a sandwich the maid had prepared. As she ateheard Mary click her tongue twice. âKeera, Clance changing!â
Keira was taken aback. âWhat do you mean?â
âToday, news came from the Horton family in Oceanion that they were going to make their presenceknown in Clance! Turns out theyâve been planning this for a month in Clance. Theyâre the wealthiest inOceanion, no less influential than the five major families of Clance. Their arrival might just change the
landscape in Clance!â
Lewisâs move to Clance was something he told her about last night.
He wasnât leaving.
Keira didnât show much reaction and just listened as Mary continued. âI heard that the family head ofthe Horton family, Lewis, isnât even thirty yet, and now heâs stepping up to compete on par with theheads of the fiye families. Thatâs impressive⦠Though it probably has nothing to do with me.â
After saying that, the door to the master bedroom suddenly opened.
Lewis was particularly fastidious and a neat frea he wouldnât wear yesterdayâs clothes, so Keira co onlyfind an unworn set of lounge wear that belon to Howard for him.
Lewis was now wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and the cotton trousers were a bit short. The manwho usually had a strong and steady presence now looked like a college student.
Upon seeing his face, Maryâs eyes lit up, and she
sneakily nudged Keira, whispering âKeera vouâve got
good taste. Which school is he from? This gigolo is a whole lot better than that scum Howard!ânovelbin
Keira was speechless.
She, too, ogled Lewis along with Mary.
The man always used to dress sharply in suits, which overshadowed his handsome face, but now, withhis hair in disarray, that face was truly stunning.
Without a word from her, the playful Mary approached him and said, âYoung man, you know how totake good care of my sister, right? Do it well, and you might just get to marry into wealth â you couldend up on the list of rich wives.â
Lewis stiffened.
Mary then asked, âBy the way, whatâs your nam
