âWeâreâ¦â
Just as Keira was about to speak, she was interrupted by James. âStop making a scene here andlooking for excuses. Iâll just ask you, are you breaking up with this gigolo or not!â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She crossed her arms and simply couldnât be bothered to explain anymore.
She just watched James acting like a clown and hopping mad.
She turned her head to glance at Lewis, who raised an eyebrow but still stood there, smiling at her. â Agigolo?â
Keira lazily said, âYouâre eating my food and living at my place. If youâre not a gigolo, then what areyou?â
Lewis couldnât help but laugh, his gaze deep as he looked at her, âWell, I am living at your place.â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She always felt that ever since the two of them got together, he was always ready to flirt.
She coughed lightly and withdrew her gaze.
But James roared, âKeera, what else do you have to say? Your eyes are practically melting. Donât tellme youâre still going to deny your relationship with him?â
Keira said, âIâm not denying it.â
âYouâ¦â
James was furious. âDonât think that because Uncle
Olsen dotes on you, Iâll tolerate you indefinitely. Let me tell you, as for the Freeman Sect matter, do youstill dream of entering the main lineage? Donât even
think about it!â
Keira spread her hands. âIs that so? Youâve tried it,
then?â
James was infuriated by her indifferent attitude and
turned to leave.
Charles followed him, glancing at Keira. âYou! Just you
wait!â
The stupid brothers left the South family.
Keira just pursed her lips and closed the door.
As soon as the door was shut, her waist was grasped by a burning hot hand.
Keira immediately pushed him away. âWhat are you doing?â
âI just wanted to say, I not only eat your food and live at your house, but I also want to sleep with youâ¦â
As soon as the last few words were uttered, Keiraâs cheeks instantly turned a shade of crimson inembarrassment. She looked down and coughed lightly. âWhy are you talking nonsense?â
Lewis chuckled lowly, his voice like a cello resonating in her ear. âI mean Iâll sleep in your bed. Whatwere you thinking?â
Keira was speechless.novelbin
That night, Lewis not only slept in Keiraâs bed but also slept with her. 2
The next day, when Keira got up, she saw the man
looking refreshed and satisfied. She couldnât help but sigh.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Lewis asked.
Keira replied, âIâm thinking, maybe we should sleep in separate rooms.â
Lewis stiffened and immediately coughed. âIs that
necessary?â
âThen letâs discuss being more restrained.â
âWhat about⦠seven times a week?â
Keira was dumbfounded.
âThen six?â
âFive, canât do any less!â
Keira stared at him, grinding her teeth as she replied,
âMedical research shows, for a man, twice or three
times a week is best for you!
âYou donât understand.â
Lewis slowly said, âA woman hits her prime at thirty when a manâs ability starts to fade. While Iâm notyet thirty, letâs catch up on what I owe you.â
Keira felt she couldnât continue this conversation with
the man.
Why did it feel like Lewisâs domineering image was about to crack whenever such topics came up?!
âPlease maintain your coolness!â
Keira fled from the room and just as she stepped outside. She bumped into Mary, who was just leavingher room.
Her eyes were red-rimmed and slightly swollen. She clearly cried the night before.
Keiraâs face tensed up, unsure of how to comfort her. While she was wracking her brain, Mary suddenlyturned to her. âKeera, I gave Ellis a divorce agreement and asked him to sign it. Can you⦠help mewith that?â
A DNA test was certainly necessary.
But she would help Keira and agree to divorce Ellis
after the child was born.
Yet Keira didnât understand. âDo you want to get a divorce right now?â
Mary paused. âI want the child to be born legitimate.â
399 Chapter
Without a father, the child would always be insulted as a bastard, but if born within a marriage, the childwould be regarded as legitimate.
Understanding her point, Keira said, âIâll help you. Youâll stay with me until you give birth.â
Mary nodded and smiled.
Keira didnât stay at home with Mary, as today there
was an official martial arts competition at the Freeman
Sect.
The Outer Sect Disciples of the Freeman Sect were those with less talent identified during Bone
Assessment and therefore had a tough time
progressing to the Inner Sect and becoming legitimat
members of the sect.
This martial arts competition, although a path to progression, was incredibly harsh on them.
The elimination process was direct: two would fight
and one would win.
The selection was done by drawing lots, and bad luck could mean the third-strongest contestant mighthave
to face the strongest. Such misfortune would lead to immediate elimination with no further chance until
next year.
So each year, those who were relatively weaker might advance through luckâ¦
Keira couldnât rely on luck.
When she drew her lot at the Freeman Sect, Matias immediately crowded in, frowning. âKeera, yourluck is just too bad, isnât it?â
Keira was slightly stunned, âWhat do
you mean?â
Matias immediately replied, âThe person youâve drawn, Erick Miles, is the most capable fighter amongstJacksonâs men! Facing him is going to be trouble!â
He sighed silently, a bit anxious for her. âBy the way, after you hit Jackson yesterday, someone saw himgoing to the Disciplinary Hall. If James hadnât smoothed things over, youâd be in trouble for
assaulting a superior, and the Freeman Sect definitely wonât let it slide.â
The Freeman Sect, being a martial arts family, had
strict rules.
To prevent disciples from fighting and causing trouble among themselves, the sect managed thehierarchy and ranking very strictly.
Keira was somewhat concerned that without Jamesâs
protection, Jackson might cause her troubleâ¦
As for Jamesâ¦
She touched her chin, wondering whether to clarify her relationship with Uncle Olsen.
It felt somewhat wrong.
She would wait. After all, the family banquet was in three days, and everything would come to lightthen.
As for the situation at the Freeman Sect, even if the matter reached the Disciplinary Hall, it would takea few daysâ¦
While she was thinking of this, Jackson approached with a scowl, bringing his people and stopping infront of her. âKeera, you assaulted my older brother Austin
yesterday. Iâve reported this matter today! Just wait for the Freeman Sectâs punishment!â
Keira glanced at him and casually rotated her fist. âWhat now? Are you itching for another beating?â

âYouâ¦â
Enraged but itching to retaliate, Jackson then turned to Erick, his expression darkening. âYouâre aboutto fight Keera soon, right? Make sure you show no mercy! Teach our little Keera a proper lesson!â
Erick immediately nodded, looking darkly at Keira.
Keira raised an eyebrow, unable to resist asking Matias, âIs Erick really that strong?â
âSuper strong!â Matias answered. âHeâs among the best Outer Sect Disciples, capable of ranking withinthe top three. The last couple of years, he was just unlucky, always facing the top rankers and endedup staying
behind.â
Keira, not knowing much about martial arts, had no idea how powerful her master really was.
Hearing this made her worry, âCan I beat him?â
Matias sighed. âDefinitely not, Keera. Donât you have any understanding of yourself?â
Keira was speechless.
That wasnât good!
Suddenly, she felt a bit nervous. If she really couldnât beat her opponent on stage later and couldnâtescapeâ¦
She coughed, took out her phone, and sent Lewis a message. âIf I lose later, remember to come backand
bail me out.â
