304 A Hug

Keira gazed at his face greedily.

This past month, she had actually felt very lonely and missed him terribly.

But she knew she shouldn’t disturb him and Madeleine.

Letting him think she was dead was actually the best

choice.

Therefore, even though she knew what he meant, she still said, “Mr. Horton, what are you doing here?”

Lewis set Amy down, handing her over to his assistant.

Tom wasn’t by his side, as he had been busy in Oceanion handling affairs for the Horton Group, and his absence, only Tom could keep the first branch of the family, people like Oliver, in check.

The assistant took Amy and went over to play with her.

Lewis then walked toward Keira. He had lost a lot of weight, looking especially haggard. With each step he took closer, Keira’s heartbeat accelerated.

Keira silently stepped back.

She didn’t know how many steps she had taken when she suddenly bumped into the living room couch behind her. There was nowhere left to retreat, and she could just watch as Lewis approached her.

The man was a head taller than her, and at such a close distance, she could see the hollows of his cheeks.

He still carried the pleasant scent of vanilla, the smell of his usual body wash…

Keira tensed her jaw, silent.

Lewis, however, moved closer and said slowly, “Before, you kept wanting to divorce in place of Keera, so I didn’t bother you, but today you’re divorced. Keira you come home now?”

Keira’s pupils shrank.

Had he recognized her already?

Was it that night?

On reflection, he had clearly chased after her the next day, yet she hadn’t acknowledged him, and afterward, Lewis indeed hadn’t pestered her further and just left.
