147 Mrs. Horton Is Here

Mrs. Olsen paused slightly, puzzled.”

She didn’t understand why Keira wanted her to look at the marriage certificate.

Still, she followed Keira to the adjoining lounge.

Keira, dressed in a gown, had only a cellphone in her hand-her bag and Old Mrs. Horton’s belongings were in the room next door.

She knew Mrs. Olsen would be there today and didn’t want her to worry.

After going through so much, she knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldn’t believe her, so

Those around who were offering birthday wishes

stepped aside, allowing Lewis to stand in front of old

Mrs. Horton.

Old Mrs. Horton’s face was filled with smiles as she extended her hand.

Lewis, however, didn’t step forward but instead bowed deeply and said earnestly, “Grandma, I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and a long and prosperous life!”

He didn’t, like others, prattle on with birthday platitudes. His tersely chosen words expressed the sincerest of blessings.

Old Mrs. Horton’s eyes reddened slightly, and she immediately beckoned to him. “You brat, why so formal? For you to be happy in life and to love your wife deeply, growing old together-that’s my greatest wish.”

Lewis’s face was tense, but Keira could see from his eyes that he was restraining his emotions. He said hoarsely, “Grandma, rest assured, I will.”

“Good! Good!” Old Mrs. Horton’s smile at that moment was the most sincere of the evening.
