18 Marriage Certificate

Having heard their argument, the old lady poked her head out from the window. “Brat, are you upsetting my granddaughter-in-law?”

Lewis’s face tightened. “No.”

The old lady cast a doubtful glance at Keira: “Granddaughter-in-law, is that true?”

Keira gave Lewis a seemingly amused glare. She surprisingly noticed a trace of anxiousness on his otherwise expressionless face.

She chuckled. “No, he’s not upsetting me.”

The man seemed to heave a sigh of relief although barely noticeable.

Old Mrs. Horton chuckled, “Good. Dinner is ready.

Come on in.”

Their dinner was fairly simple.

Four dishes and one soup, just enough for three

But the old lady barely had any appetite. She put down her fork after a few bites.

She tiredly said, “Granddaughter-in-law, I’m tired. Let’s go home.”

Keira tried to persuade her. “Please don’t stress yourself. Rest here at home tonight.”

The small courtyard was like a mini nursing home, equipped with all kinds of medical equipment.

However, the old lady nervously clung onto Keira’s hand. “Can you stay with me then?”

Keira pursed her lips.

She glanced at Lewis.

In fact, she was also worried about the old lady, but considering how much Lewis loathed her and suspected her of using the old lady to get closer to him, he certainly wouldn’t agree.

The man fell silent, then said, “Alright.”

He then gave her a meaningful glance.

His intention was clear. He was doing all this for his

Keira gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Old Mrs. Horton was satisfied, “All right, wherever my granddaughter-in-law is, there I am.”

After dinner, Keira helped old Mrs. Horton back to her

room to rest.

The old lady must have been really tired today after making a scene when she fell ill. She fell asleep as soon as she took hold of Keira’s hand.

She was having an extremely restless sleep.

As soon as Keira let go of her hand, the old lady began groping around in her sleep, mumbling “Granddaughter-in-law”.

Keira was helpless and could only sit by the bed, keeping her company.

Outside the window.

Lewis had a serious expression on his face. “What’s going on with grandma?”
