My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Keira followed Lewis into the back door of the

banquet hall. Just as she was about to head to the main hall, suddenly a servant rushed over from the side.

She was carrying several glasses of red wine and didn’t see the path clearly. She was about to collide with Keira.

Keira instinctively extended her arm to block her, but in the next moment, she was yanked fiercely around the waist, and Lewis shielded her with his body. “Crash!”

The wine glasses hit his back and scattered on the floor.

And the red wine stained his white shirt.

“Mr. Horton, Miss Olsen, I’m so sorry, so sorry…” the servant apologized, clearly flustered.

Yet Keira was looking at Lewis.

In past incidents, she always braced herself, but just now, she had felt what it was like to be protected.

Lewis carefully checked the girl in his arms, and seeing she was unharmed, he relaxed. Frowning, he felt the wetness on his own skin and said to the servant, “Be careful. Don’t bump into the guests.”

“Yes, yes…”

The servant crouched down to clean up.

Lewis then said to Keira, “I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes. Stay with Grandma for the time being.”

He certainly couldn’t appear in such a disheveled state publicly with Keira.

“Okay.”

Keira watched Lewis ascend the stairs before she herself entered the main hall.

After entering through the back door, the first area was a lounge.

At the moment, it was surrounded by a group of hig school classmates invited by Jake. They were chatting away and were almost the same group of people from the last class reunion.
