My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

As Lewis’s car left, the vehicles from the Horton family’s old house and a delivery van arrived one after

the other.

Lewis cast a brief glance at the old house’s car, without

much concern.

After all, it was common for Mr. Horton to send people oyer to the old Mrs. Horton with greetings or gifts; they always went directly to her.

As for the delivery van…

With over a hundred people residing in the manor, it could be anyone’s delivery.

His car just brushed past those two vehicles…

Once he was far away, the door of the car from the old house opened, the driver jumped out, and, watching Lewis’s car, he couldn’t help but ask the gatekeeper, “Was that Mr. Horton who just left?”

The gatekeeper replied, “Yes!”

The driver immediately became anxious. “I came here

to deliver something to him. Where is Mr. Horton

going?”

The gatekeeper scratched his head. “How would I know the master’s business?”

Realizing he asked the wrong person, the driver immediately got back into the car and headed straight for old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard.

The delivery van planned to follow but was stopped by the gatekeeper. “Whose delivery is it? You can’t go in just like that.”-

The delivery person was speechless.

And just like that, he was abandoned at the gate.

He thought about it and still sent a message to his boss. “Boss, I delivered your package to Glow Village,

but Stubborn Five is in Oceanion. I followed the drive

to Oceanion, to a very wealthy household, and they’re not letting me in.”

Keira replied to the message very quickly. “Then just head back, no need to wait.”

She had left a contact number anyway; the big brother would contact her.., right?

Keira paused slightly.

But she quickly put the matter out of her mind.

She glanced sideways at Lewis again, noticing that the man’s face was cold, and he hadn’t spoken a word.

The car soon arrived at the courthouse.

Keira got out of the car first. “It’s open. Should we go

in?”

Lewis didn’t move.

Keira simply sighed softly and stared straight at him with the car door open.

After a standoff of about a minute, Lewis finally got

out of the car.

Keira walked toward the courthouse and had only taken a couple of steps when she sensed somethin was off. Looking back, she saw Lewis looking up at entrance of the courthouse, seemingly unfamiliar w the place.

Well, he was in a daze when he came to get his marriage license, so he had completely forgotten about this place.

She walked up to Lewis’s side, only to hear him say,

“We can’t get the divorce today.”

Keira was startled. “Why not?”

Had Lewis determined to watch Madeleine die and wouldn’t break up with her?

Just as that thought crossed her mind, she heard him say, “I forgot to bring the marriage certificate.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Keira was dumbfounded.

She glanced at Lewis and coughed slightly. “Then let’s go home to get it.”

Lewis said, “I have a meeting”

Keira said, “Then let’s do it this afternoon.” novelbin

“I have an engagement this afternoon.”

Keira was perplexed.

She looked at Lewis with an amused expression,.”M Horton, do you know what you look like right now?”

Lewis felt somewhat embarrassed under her gaze and coughed guiltily. “What do I look like?”

“Like a child sulking and throwing a tantrum with their

parents.”

Lewis looked at her. “So if I throw a tantrum, can you,

“No, I cannot.”

Keira was frustrated. “Marriage is no child’s play, Lewis. If we don’t get a divorce, when will you solve the problem with Madeleine? I can wait for a month, three months, but can you expect me to wait three or five years?”

Lewis clenched his jaw.

If it were possible to cure Madeleine, she would have been cured in those five years…

And if he refused to see her before she was cured,

Madeleine would commit suicide…

Lewis was trapped; in the short term, he either had to watch her die heartlessly, or there was no second option.

But he couldn’t just watch his lifesaver die, especially

when her death would be related to him.

He looked at Keira again.

A carefree woman like Keira was trapped in the Horton family because of this inexplicable marriage.

If they divorced, perhaps she would truly run away…

This thought panicked him, and he said, “Keira, I’m really busy today. Let’s come back tomorrow, alright?”

Keira looked at him intently and finally nodded. “Alright.”

Lewis handed over the car to her. “You go home first.

I’ll head to the office…”

Keira shook her head. “With my current status, it’s not appropriate for me to go back to the Horton

residence.”

Lewis was stunned, and he felt even more frustrated.

He clenched his fists tightly, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to express it, and in the end, he just grunted and got into the car.

He looked somewhat disheveled.

Keira watched his car drive away, lowered her eyes, and let out a silent sigh.

She wanted to say that there’s no need to be so

entangled.

If the two of them were fated, they would definitely break out of this impasse.

Who knows? Maybe in a year or two, Madeleine’s

illness might be cured.

Or perhaps…

She didn’t continue with the rest of the thought.

Keira hailed a cab and returned to the Olsen residence.

Upon entering and just stepping into the living room, she heard Taylor speaking, “If you’re worried, why don’t you give her a call to ask her?”

Jodie South immediately refused. “Wouldn’t that put pressure on Keira?”

Keira realized upon hearing this conversation that they had seen the news.

In these times, journalists were omnipresent.

It’s truly difficult to keep anything a secret.

She pushed open the door and walked in.

Jodie South, surprised, said, “Keira, you…”

“Mom, I’ve decided to get a divorce.” Keira didn’t hide it

from her.

No sooner had she spoken than Taylor immediately

objected. “Ridiculous, how can you just divorce? As a couple, you must face things together!”

Keira remained silent.

Taylor felt a hint of embarrassment and looked toward Jodie South, “Shirley, please talk some sense into her.”

But Jodie South said, “Good, this house will always welcome you!”

Taylor was taken aback, “Shirley, you…”

Jodie South looked at him. “There are some things we

can face together, but with that woman out there, it’s a complicated issue, and one must step out. I don’t want Keira to get hurt in this three-person play. I respect Keira’s choice. Keira, your room upstairs is not yet renovated, so you can sleep with me tonight.”

When Taylor heard this, he was slightly stunned.

But then it dawned on him that Mrs. Olsen had always been a woman of decisive action. She had always been

like that…

As to why she would stay with him, tolerating Poppy…

It was obviously because she didn’t love him.”

A trace of mockery flashed through Taylor’s eyes.

Neither Keira nor Jodie noticed his reaction. Jodie had already taken Keira by the hand and was leading her upstairs. “We have never slept in the same room

before; tonight, we can also have a good chat.”

“Sure.”

Keira suddenly said, “Mom, I want to have the vegetable pasta you make for lunch.”

Jodie was stunned for a moment, then laughed. “My

child, the pasta I make isn’t delicious…”

When Keira was a child, Mrs. Olsen used to cook, hoping to be a good wife and mother.

Yet the pasta she made was once scorned by Isla.

But Keira, looking on, couldn’t have been more

envious.

It was such a simple thing, yet Poppy had never done i

for her.

She really wanted to eat the food made by Jodie South.

She insisted. “But I want to eat it.”

Jodie was taken aback. “…Okay.”

The mother and daughter spent a day at the Olsen residence, and at noon, Keira got to eat the pasta she had been longing for, and at night, they lay down together.

Between Keira and Jodie South, the past 22 years didn’t seem to have happened, and they were as close as any ordinary mother and daughter.

Keira understood that this was Jodie South taking care of her feelings.

But the closeness between them couldn’t be faked.

That night, lying in bed, she took out her phone again.

Suddenly, she noticed that she had received a text

message.

In the digital age, most people communicate throug WhatsApp or other means, and very few send text

messages.

Thus, the majority of the messages in Keira’s inbox were ads and spam.

So, this particular message was very conspicuous.

It was from an unfamiliar number, with just one

sentence. “Do not divorce Lewis.”

How mysterious…

It had to be the person who had orchestrated their marriage in the first place!

Keira got up and walked to the balcony. She found the number and dialed it straight away.
