How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 240 - Chapter 240 Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Lewis Horton’s car had just left when the Horton Family residence’s vehicle and an express delivery van arrived one after another.

Lewis gave a cursory glance at the old mansion’s car without paying much attention to it.

After all, Mr. Horton often sent someone over to pay respects to Old Mrs. Horton or deliver things, and they always went directly to her.

As for that express delivery van…

With over a hundred people on the estate, it could be anyone’s package.

His car just brushed past those two vehicles…

Once he was far away, the door of the estate’s car opened, the driver jumped out, and looking after Lewis’s departing vehicle, couldn’t help asking the doorman, “Was that Mr. Horton who just left?”

The doorman: “Yes.”

The driver immediately became anxious, “I was here to bring him something. Where is Mr. Horton headed now?”

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

Realizing he had asked the wrong person, the driver immediately got back into his car and drove toward Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard.

The express delivery van intended to follow but was stopped by the doorman, “Whose package is it? You can’t go in empty-handed.”

The delivery man: “…”

He was just abandoned like that!

After a moment of thought, he still sent a message to his boss: “Boss, I delivered your package to Glow Village, but that Stubborn Fifth was in Oceanion, so I followed the driver here. This family is a major household, they won’t let me in.”

Keira Olsen replied quickly, “Then you can go back, no need to wait.”

Anyway, she had left her contact information; the big brother would contact her… right?

Keira Olsen paused slightly.

But she quickly put the matter out of her mind.

She looked over at Lewis Horton again to see that the man’s face was cold and he hadn’t spoken a word.

They soon arrived at the courthouse.

Keira got out of the car first, “It’s open now, shall we go?”

Lewis didn’t move.

Keira quietly sighed and stared straight at him, holding the car door open.

After about a minute of stalemate, Lewis finally got out of the car.

Keira began walking toward the courthouse but had only taken a few steps when she sensed something off and looked back, only to find Lewis looking up at the entrance of the courthouse, seemingly very unfamiliar with the place.

Of course, he was in a dazed state when he came to register for marriage and didn’t remember the place at all.

She walked over to Lewis’s side, only to hear him say, “We can’t get the marriage certificate today.”

Keira was stunned, “Why not?”

Could it be that Lewis had resolved to watch Madeleine Davis die without breaking up with her?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard him say, “I forgot to bring the marriage certificate.”

Keira: !

She glanced at Lewis and coughed lightly, “Then we’ll go back to get it.”

Lewis said, “I have a meeting.”

Keira: “Then this afternoon.”

“I have an engagement in the afternoon.”

Keira: ?

She looked at Lewis with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Mr. Horton, do you know what you look like right now?”

Lewis was somewhat embarrassed under her gaze and coughed nervously, “Like what?”

“Like a child whining and throwing tantrums to their parents!”

Lewis looked at her, “If I were throwing a tantrum, could you, as the parent, not divorce me?”

“No, I can’t.”

Keira was frustrated, “Marriage isn’t child’s play, Lewis Horton. If we don’t divorce, when can you resolve the issue with Madeleine Davis? I can wait a month, three months. But can you expect me to wait three, five years?”

Lewis clenched his jaw.

If she could be cured, she would have been cured during those five years already…

Telling her that he wouldn’t see her again without waiting for her to get better would lead to Madeleine’s suicide…

Lewis felt trapped, in the short term, he either had to harden his heart and watch her die or there was no second option.

But he couldn’t simply watch his life-saving benefactor die, especially when her death was related to him.

He looked at Keira again.

A woman as carefree as her was only trapped in the Horton Family by this absurd marriage.

If they divorced, perhaps she would truly leave…

This thought made him panic inside, and he blurted out, “Keira, I’m really busy today. Can we come back tomorrow?”

Keira looked at him intently and eventually nodded, “Okay.”

Lewis gave her the car, “Then you go home first, I’ll head to the office…”

Keira Olsen, however, shook her head, “With my current status, it’s not appropriate for me to return to the Horton family.”

Lewis Horton was startled and became even more anxious.

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

He looked somewhat disheveled.

Watching his car drive away, Keira Olsen lowered her gaze and silently sighed.

She wanted to say that there was no need to be so conflicted.

If the two were truly meant to be, this deadlock could definitely be broken.

Who knows, perhaps in a year or so, Madeleine Davis’s illness would be cured?

Or maybe…

She didn’t think about what came next.

Keira Olsen hailed a taxi and returned to the Olsen family home.

Upon entering and reaching the living room, she heard Taylor Olsen speaking, “If you’re worried, why not give a call and ask?”

Jodie South immediately objected, “Wouldn’t that just put pressure on Kiera?”

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

In this day and age, reporters are ubiquitous.

Keeping something confidential is truly quite difficult.

She pushed open the door and walked in.

When Jodie South saw her, she exclaimed in surprise, “Kiera, you…”

“Mom, I’m planning to get a divorce.” Keira Olsen didn’t hide it from her.

Upon hearing this, Taylor Olsen immediately said, “That’s absurd, how can you get divorced? Whatever it is, as husband and wife you should face it together!”

Keira Olsen didn’t respond.

Taylor Olsen felt a bit awkward and turned to Jodie South, “Shirley, talk some sense into her.”

Jodie South, however, said, “Alright, you’re always welcome home!”

Taylor Olsen was stunned, “Shirley, you…”

Jodie South looked at him, “Some things can be faced together, but when it involves another woman, in a matter with three people, there must be one who steps out. I don’t want Kiera to get hurt in this three-person play; I respect Kiera’s choice. Kiera, the room upstairs isn’t renovated yet, you can sleep with me tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Taylor Olsen was slightly taken aback.

But then he came to realize, Mrs. Olsen had always been such a decisive woman; she had always been like this…

As for why she could stay with him and tolerate Poppy Hill.

Of course, it was because… she didn’t love him.

A hint of mockery flashed in Taylor Olsen’s pupils.

Keira Olsen and Jodie South didn’t notice his reaction, as Jodie South was already leading Keira Olsen by the hand upstairs, “We mother and daughter have never slept together before; tonight we can also have a good chat.”

“Okay.”

Suddenly, Keira Olsen spoke up, “Mom, I want to eat the tomato and egg pasta you make for lunch.”

Jodie South was taken aback, then laughed, “You child, my cooking isn’t that tasty…”

As a child, she also cooked, wanting to be a good wife and mother.

The pasta she made, however, was disliked by Isla Olsen.

But Keira Olsen watched with envy.

Such a simple thing, yet Poppy Hill had never done it for her.

She really wanted to eat what Jodie South cooked.

She insisted, “But I want to eat it.”

Jodie South was taken aback, “…Okay.”

The mother and daughter stayed at the Olsen home for a day, eating the long-awaited pasta at lunchtime, and at night, they lay down together.

Between Keira Olsen and Jodie South, it was as if those twenty-two years didn’t exist; they were intimate like any ordinary mother and daughter.

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

But the affection between them couldn’t be faked.

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

Suddenly, she noticed someone had sent her a text message.

In this digital era, most people communicate through WhatsApp or other methods, and it’s rare for someone to send a text message.

Keira Olsen’s inbox was mostly filled with ads and junk messages.

So this text message was especially noticeable.

It was from a strange number, with only one sentence: “Do not divorce Lewis Horton.”

This mysteriousness…

Was surely from the person who had set up the arrangement for her to get married to Lewis Horton!

Keira Olsen got up and walked to the balcony, and dialed straight back to that number.
