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.

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!”

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.
