How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 239 - Chapter 239 Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Horton Family.

Keira Olsen’s words weren’t too much of a surprise for Lewis Horton.

She had always been a carefree woman.

Yet, Lewis’s heart was still fiercely gripped. He opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, wanting to say no, wanting to ask her to wait for him, to give him more time, he was sure he could think of a better solution.

But before he could speak, Keira Olsen had already stood up, her gaze fixed on him, “I don’t mean to pressure you, but I’ve thought this through, and this might be the only way.”

Lewis Horton tightened his jaw, clenched his fists, “Keira, I…”

“You’ve already tried your best, you chose me, I know,” Keira looked at him. “But you can’t really watch her die.”

Lewis Horton furrowed his brow, “I can.”

“You can now,” Keira stared straight at him. “But what about the future?”

Lewis Horton was taken aback.

“You will feel guilty about her, and that guilt will bury deep in your heart, Lewis Horton, I don’t want you to bear such mental pressure.”

The light in the room was very dim.

Keira Olsen couldn’t see the expression on Lewis Horton’s face. Her entire demeanor was defeated, with her shoulders slightly drooping.

She spoke deliberately, “Lewis Horton, I know how uncomfortable this feeling is.”

For the past twenty-two years, she had lived in guilt towards the Olsen Family.

She truly thought that her existence prevented Taylor Olsen and Jodie South from being together. After slaving away at the Olsen Family for over a decade, even though she had finally left, the psychological burden never really lifted.

Every time she faced Isla Olsen, despite telling herself that she was not at fault, that she couldn’t choose her background, she still felt guilty and couldn’t raise her head in her presence.

It was a helpless debt.

Background was.

Life and death were, too.

Once a person is gone, they are gone.

No matter how much regret or resentment, it can’t be mended.

Lewis Horton appeared cold, but he was actually kind to those around him.

Madeleine Davis had saved his life, so if he just gave up on her, Lewis Horton would have to live in guilt towards Madeleine Davis for the rest of his life, but Keira Olsen didn’t want that for him.

Yet, Lewis Horton stepped forward, his voice trembling, “But compared to that, I don’t want to lose you more.”

Keira Olsen, however, looked down, her smile carefree, “Lewis Horton, be sensible. You know this is the best choice for both of us.”

“I…”

Keira suddenly stepped forward, hugging him tightly.

This move caught the words in Lewis Horton’s throat.

Keira Olsen laughed then, “Lewis Horton, don’t be so dejected. I’m more used to you being the domineering CEO. Besides…”

Her voice was muffled, “This marriage was bizarre to begin with. I always felt someone was scheming behind it. If we got divorced, maybe the person behind it all couldn’t help but come out.”

She said all this very casually.

After she finished saying this, she straightened up, patted Lewis Horton’s shoulder, “Alright then, courthouse tomorrow, don’t miss it.”

With these words, she turned to leave.

But her arm was tightly grabbed by the man.

Keira Olsen didn’t turn back.

She was never the sentimental type, but seeing Madeleine Davis holding Lewis’s hand, calling him “brother” affectionately, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Love is inherently selfish and possessive.

The two were frozen in that moment.

It was unclear how long it had been when Lewis Horton finally let go of her hand.

Only then did Keira Olsen leave.

She hurried into the adjacent room of her own.

As she closed the door, a tear rolled down her cheek.

People shouldn’t be too greedy.

Like her, accustomed to hardship since childhood, now not only had Lewis Horton, but also had Jodie South as her mother…

Indeed, what fate gives you, it takes something else away.

Keira Olsen went to bed and buried her head deep into the blankets.

If she had known it would be like this, she should have kept herself from falling in love…

She didn’t regret asking for a divorce because she knew if she hadn’t spoken up, he would have been the one to do it eventually…

This way was better.

She hadn’t been abandoned; it was she who didn’t want him…

In the room just a wall away.

Lewis Horton stood dumbfounded at the doorway.

The decisive departure of the girl emptied a part from his heart, restless, he took off his tie and walked towards the balcony.

It had grown colder these past few days; even Oceanion had reached below freezing this winter.

He took off his coat, now just in his shirt, standing there, looking towards Keira Olsen’s room.

The light in the girl’s room was off…

Maybe she was asleep.

Or maybe, like him, she couldn’t sleep at all.

Lewis Horton took out another cigarette.

Perhaps because of the cold, he noticed his hands were slightly shaking.

After lighting the cigarette, he took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the thick smoke into every part of his organs…

Only to choke and cough a few times, his eyes wet.

Something dripped onto his hand.

Lewis Horton glanced at it, then gently wiped it away.

…

Morning came quickly.

As the dawn broke faintly, Keira Olsen opened her eyes.

She wasn’t sure if she had slept last night; it had been a blur of confusion, and she could vaguely hear coughing from next door.

But the sound insulation in old Mrs. Horton’s yard was excellent.

She knew it was her illusion.

She got out of bed and opened her door.

Lewis Horton had just opened his door too, and their eyes met.

There were evident signs of exhaustion under his eyes,

After a moment, Keira Olsen smiled, “Good morning.”

Lewis Horton’s lips moved, and he forced out a word, “Morning.”

Neither of them had much appetite for breakfast, Keira Olsen simply said, “Let’s go.”

Lewis Horton opened his mouth, said nothing, and turned to walk ahead.

After both left the room, Fiona came out from behind them, looking worriedly at them, then rushed to old Mrs. Horton’s room: “Old Mrs. Horton, the sir and madam, they don’t seem well, I saw madam had the marriage certificate, they aren’t going to get a divorce, are they?”

Old Mrs. Horton, upon hearing this, clutched her chest, but this time she neither acted stubborn nor spoke, just sighed, “Oh Fiona, I can’t force Keira, the brat is to blame…”

Hearing this, Fiona’s eyes also turned red: “But such a good wife… if the sir misses out, he’d regret it for life!”

Old Mrs. Horton felt even more heartache, “Let’s not talk about it anymore, we should interfere less in the young people’s matters!”

She lay on her side in bed, tears flowing from the old lady’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but curse, “Brat!”

…

Keira Olsen followed Lewis Horton to the parking lot.

They got into the car, and the driver started driving towards the entrance.

Outside, someone from the Horton family estate and Keira Olsen’s courier arrived simultaneously.
