My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 232  Strong Sense of Responsibility

Keira and Lewis immediately turned to look at her.

Keira asked, "Do you know something?"

Lewis also said, "Grandma, what exactly is going on?"

Old Mrs. Horton glanced at the two of them and then out the window, making a mysterious air about her.

Then she lowered her voice and said, "Could my granddaughter-in-law have multiple personalities? But usually, the secondary personality doesn't come out because the primary personality suppresses it, so she forgets about this after the fact!"

Keira became speechless.

So did Lewis.

Old Mrs. Horton just went on. "I've read many novels and watched TV shows, and many protagonists have this condition. There's even one story where the male lead has many personalities! That female lead marries one man, yet it's as if she married several, a real-life version of polyandry. How exhilarating!"

Keira didn't know what to say.

Lewis twitched the corner of his mouth. "Grandma, you're almost drooling..."

Old Mrs. Horton immediately wiped the corner of her mouth and then realizing something, glared at Lewis before turning to Keira. "My dear, do you have multiple personalities?"

Keira rubbed her forehead. "I don't."

She had her health checked every year, and considering how oppressive her life had been as a child and being brainwashed by Poppy Hill, Keira took her mental health very seriously.

Old Mrs. Horton was puzzled. "Then what else could it be?"

Keira shook her head, also confused.

Lewis then said, "No matter what the situation is, Keira is now my wife. Let's not overthink it; we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!"

Keira wanted to say more, but seeing old Mrs. Horton yawn and show signs of fatigue, she realized the old lady must be worn out, so she quickly changed the subject. "Right, the truth of it isn't really that important. Grandma, you should rest."

Old Mrs. Horton nodded and looked at them. "In the end, I don't care. Now that you are legally married, you must live happily!"

Keira nodded.

As they were about to step out, Keira's hand was caught by old Mrs. Horton, who then looked at Lewis. "You can leave first. I have something private to say to my granddaughter-in-law..."

Lewis was perplexed.

He obediently left the room, and as he closed the door, he vaguely heard old Mrs. Horton asking, "Granddaughter-in-law, how's the brat in bed? If he's not up to par, you must tell me. You can't suffer in silence..."

Lewis was shocked.

In the room, Keira's face also turned slightly red, not expecting old Mrs. Horton to ask such a direct question.

She rubbed her forehead and saw Lewis leave. She then forced a smile. "Grandma, he has left. Whatever it is, you can tell me now."

Old Mrs. Horton's expression turned serious again as she sighed and held Keira's hand. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about Madeleine Davis..."

Upon hearing that name, Keira was slightly startled.

Thinking of Lewis's previous unexplained disappearances or entire nights away, she had her suspicions.

But she was always calm and restrained. She was waiting for Lewis to explain, so she hadn't said much about it.

Old Mrs. Horton let out a sigh. "Lewis may seem cold, but he's actually very sentimental and has a strong sense of responsibility. It's his strength, but at the same time, it's his weakness."

Old Mrs. Horton said, "Keira, I don't want to be biased toward my own grandson. When I had you marry him, I didn't know about Madeleine's existence. That brat suddenly came back saying he would never marry in his life, and in my haste, I had you two get the certificate."

Keira clenched her jaw.

Old Mrs. Horton continued earnestly. "I know my own grandson. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Since he's chosen to spend his life with you, he'll never let you down for the rest of your life! As for the situation with Madeleine... I don't know how he'll handle it, but I wanted to tell you in advance, so you're not in the dark and at a disadvantage."

The words of the old Mrs. Horton came from her perspective and warmed Keira's heart.

She nodded.

...

Keira and Lewis moved back to old Mrs. Horton's courtyard to live, and Selena wanted to move into the Horton family, but Lewis insisted on driving her away.

Nathan and Oliver had some complaints about it, but Lewis showed a very strong stance.

The only reason he had given in before was because Selena had a special medicine in her hands.

Now that Keira had provided the medicine, Lewis no longer had any concerns in front of the three of them.

Oliver said, "Selena has, after all, gotten engaged with the Cobb family. How can she get married from another place? She must marry from the Horton residence!"

He was trying to pressure Lewis using the Cobb family.

Lewis sneered. "If you can't bear to have his daughter marry from outside, I do have a good solution."

Oliver asked eagerly, "What is it?"

Lewis said lightly, "Divide the family. Logically speaking, after I became the family head, the first branch of the family should have moved out long ago. You have several properties; once you move out, there won't be any problems with how you bring your daughter back home."

Oliver was shocked.

He was still thinking about contending for the position of the family head, so how could he possibly agree to a division of the household?!

Seeing him shut up, Lewis then walked with Keira toward old Mrs. Horton's courtyard.

As night fell, Keira, bathed in the moonlight, walked ahead. She was still pondering what old Mrs. Horton had said today, always feeling that she and Lewis had been schemed against.

But who was it, and why would they do this?

While she was thinking, the hand hanging at her left side was suddenly grasped by a warm large hand. Lewis's deep voice rose in her ear. "What are you thinking about?"

Keira said, "I'm trying to figure out what exactly is going on."

She had already checked the records of her movements on the day of her marriage and found that on the day she married two years ago, she was in the lab the entire time, working on hydrogen fuel problems, with company staff to testify. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

So, who was the person who appeared at the Horton family and knew that she was actually Mrs. Olsen's daughter?!

Lewis also frowned.

For a time, neither of them could understand what was going on, so they simply pushed the matter to the back of their minds.

Just as they entered old Mrs. Horton's courtyard, Lewis's phone rang.

Keira didn't want to listen to the content of his call, but since they were walking side by side, the voice inside leaked out.

It was a gentle female voice. "Lewis, can you come and join me for dinner?"

Lewis's expression turned grim as he uttered just two words. "I'm busy."

The person on the other side spoke again. "But I'm sick again, and I simply can't eat anything without you. Lewis, the doctor says if I don't eat, my stomach won't take it..."

Keira involuntarily pricked up her ears and heard Lewis fall silent for a moment before he finally said, "Alright, I'll come over."

Hearing his response, Keira's heart sank slightly as if a stone had suddenly been pressed on top of it.

She said nothing, and as she saw Lewis hang up, she walked straight toward her own room.

After taking a few steps, her wrist was once again seized by Lewis.

Keira turned around and saw the man looking at her seriously. "Join me?"

Keira paused, suddenly feeling a subtle sentiment rising from within. She knew that Lewis had made a choice.

Perhaps this meeting today might be their last.

Keira wasn't a sentimental person, so she replied with a smile. "Sure."

The two of them walked out together and got into the car.

On the road, Keira saw that Lewis had a grim expression and seemed to be in a bad mood. She took the initiative to ask, "What's really going on between you two?"
