My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

75 In the Spotlight

Keira came to this banquet intending to reconcile Lewis and the Allen family.

But now, after some serious thought, she realized that the possibility was quite small.

Lewis, who seemed cool and gentlemanly, was actually very considerate and gentle.

Whether it was during their time in the hospital, or just now when they were changing into banquet attire, he always managed to make her feel comfortable with his attention to detail.

If a man like him wanted to reconcile with the Allen family, he would subtly ensure that they had a good impression of him.

So, in truth, it wasn’t that he wouldn’t reconcile with the Allen family, but rather that he wouldn’t reconcile with his biological mother.

As Keira said this, she prepared to walk toward the Allens who were standing in another corner of the banquet hall, but suddenly music filled the venue!

The celebratory banquet’s classic event, the dance, had begun!

The attendees standing in the middle of the hall consciously moved to the sides, clearing the dance

floor.

Keira stopped in her tracks, deciding to wait till the dance was over.

People began to look for dance partners.

Someone approached her. “Miss, may I have this dance?”

Not far away, Lewis was sitting on a sofa, chatting with a few corporate executives.

Someone tentatively asked, “Mr. Horton, the dance has begun. Aren’t you going to join?”

Lewis declined casually, “I’d rather not.”

“Mr. Horton, you’re so faithful to Mrs. Horton. How upright of you! What an example you set for us!”

Everyone teased him in good humor.

Hearing the mention of Mrs. Horton, Lewis’s gaze shifted toward Keira’s corner, and on seeing what was going on there, his face stiffened.
