Keira hesitated before speaking. “Grandma, did you have someone help us get our marriage certificate

with Lewis?” @

Old Mrs. Horton held Keira’s hand and laughed. “How could that be! Do you really think the rich can do anything? For such a matter, both parties must be

Keira became even more puzzled upon hearing this, but she didn’t ask any further and just listened to old

Mrs. Horton.

Over the past few years, old Mrs. Horton felt she had never been as lucid as she was today, and she said, “It was about two years ago, I don’t remember the exact date, but at that time Lewis was home for a week during his holiday from studying abroad.

At the time, Keira really thought she’d encountered someone trying to provoke trouble and frowned, but then the old lady looked at her with bright eyes. “Good child, are you married?”

Keira shook her head.
