Lewis's face stiffened.

He glanced over at old Mrs. Horton, but she was focused on Nathan and Oliver, not sparing him even a glance.

Lewis clenched his jaw and tightened his fists, then cautiously called out, "Grandma…"

Keira frowned at those words, clearly wanting to say something. But when she glanced at old Mrs. Horton, she held back.
