How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 247 - Chapter 247 Chapter 247
Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Kiera Olsen looked at the girl in front of her and asked, “What’s your name?”
The girl hesitated for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and said, “Speaking of names, it seems we are fated. My name is Keera.”
Kiera Olsen was startled, “Keera?”
She actually shared the same surname as Mrs. Olsen, Jodie South.
Was it a coincidence? Or…?
The girl nodded, “My surname is South, and Keera is my name. It was fine when I was a child, but as I grew up, everyone started calling me Keera.”
Keera… Kiera…
No wonder her sister said they were fated.
The eyes of the girl in front of her were clear, and her gaze was so tender that Kiera Olsen found it hard not to feel a fondness for her.
She had been strong and tough since she was a child, having no resistance to such soft and gentle girls.
Just as Kiera Olsen was about to speak, Keera spoke up, “Kiera, I’ve told you everything I can. Can you believe me now?”
Her eyes were timid, filled with urgency.
Kiera Olsen pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Keera immediately became joyful, “Then you shouldn’t get a divorce!”
However, Kiera Olsen gave a bitter smile, “At this point, this marriage is already out of my control.”
Keera was startled, “Is there no room for reconciliation?”
“No.”
Kiera Olsen lowered her gaze, a flicker of darkness flashing through her eyes.
Just yesterday, Lewis Horton was still trying to shirk, clearly having brought the documents, yet insisting he had not.
Yet just now, he had taken the initiative to send her a message.
The bitter smile on Kiera Olsen’s face faded, and she looked up only to see Keera’s face full of anxious worry, as if danger was imminent.
She couldn’t help but ask, “…What exactly are you afraid of?”
Keera nervously clenched her fingers, released them, and clenched them again…
After several repetitions, she was almost crying, “I… I can’t say… ”
Kiera Olsen frowned and checked the time; the appointment to have dinner with Handsome Uncle was drawing closer. She looked at Keera, “Will you come with me to see Mom?”
Keera immediately shook her head.
She hurriedly put on her mask and hat, her eyes showing a hint of sadness, “I can’t go; recognizing my mother would bring danger to her. Kiera, remember this: there are dangers in this world beyond your imagination. Please, beg Lewis Horton again, if you can avoid the divorce, then don’t divorce. If he doesn’t agree, you can find Old Mrs. Horton, she likes you…”
Keera’s voice was almost crying, seeming utterly despairing; yet in the next moment, Kiera Olsen’s warm hand grasped her wrist.
Keera’s voice paused, looking at her.
Kiera Olsen then spoke, “Don’t be afraid, ‘when soldiers come, block them, when water comes, dam it.’ I remember your warning.”
The panic in Keera’s eyes slowly stabilized under her firm gaze.
Kiera Olsen continued, “I don’t know what unspeakable troubles you have, but if you need help, you can tell me directly.”
Keera opened her mouth but eventually patted her shoulder, “Kiera, I’m your sister, I should be the one protecting you.”
On hearing this, Kiera Olsen felt warmth in her heart.
This delicate girl was actually saying she would protect her…
She patted Keera’s shoulder, smiling down, “Okay then… thank you, Sister?”
The word “Sister” made Keera blush.
She shyly lowered her head, “No, no need to thank me.”
Then, seeing Kiera Olsen frequently checking the time, Keera said, “You have things to do, you should go. I also need to hurry home.”
She checked the time, “I need to pick up the kids from school at five in the afternoon.”
Kiera Olsen nodded, “Okay, you go ahead.”
As Keera opened the door and was about to leave, perhaps because it was mealtime, a strange aroma wafted in from outside, causing Kiera Olsen to stiffen slightly.
…
On the other side.
In front of the courthouse.
Tom Davis brought everything Lewis Horton had asked for. The car had just stopped when he saw the boss standing in front of the parking lot, waiting for him.
Seeing him drive over, he immediately walked over, “Did you bring everything?”
Tom Davis: “…Boss, if I remember correctly, didn’t you schedule to meet Keira Olsen at two in the afternoon, not noon?”
It was only eleven thirty now. What was the rush?!
Lewis Horton glanced at him indifferently and then went straight to his own car, opened the trunk, and continued, “Stop talking, bring over the stuff.”
Tom Davis immediately carried two boxes over: “Boss, when I bought them, they offered to decorate them for you. Just drive the car over, and this…”
“Doing it oneself is what makes it meaningful.”
Lewis Horton answered with just one sentence, then opened the box and looked at the white and pink balloons inside.
He took out a pump and began inflating them one by one, then pulled out double-sided tape and connected the balloons together.
As Lewis Horton inflated the balloons, he thought about the images he had seen online of surprises being delivered out of car trunks.
A smile formed on his lips.
Would Keira be surprised when she saw these romantic gestures?
She was so brave; perhaps there wouldn’t be any surprise.
Only joy, right?
Thinking of this, Lewis Horton blew up the balloons with more force and after getting a sufficient number, he finally stood up and took out a box from his pocket.
He opened the box.
Inside was a Jade Ring.
He hung the Jade Ring on a red string and then tied it to one of the balloons, a hydrogen balloon that could float in the air.
He then placed the balloon in the trunk, catching it on the lid of the trunk.
That way, when the trunk was opened, one could see a lot of pink and white balloons, beautiful roses, and some lights…
Thinking of this, Lewis Horton coughed, held his throat, and slowly said, “Little Bun, big brother is here to take you home.”
After saying this, he chuckled softly.
Feeling a bit embarrassed.
Lewis Horton silently sighed, then suddenly turned his head and saw Tom Davis and the driver standing not far off, staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.
When he looked their way, Tom Davis and the driver immediately shifted their eyes away awkwardly.
Tom Davis: “Huh, Old Hill, did I just have a bout of tinnitus just now? I didn’t hear anything.”
The driver, Old Hill, looking particularly innocent, said: “Mr. Davis, tinnitus for you? I just suddenly went deaf! I need to go to the hospital after work!”
Tom Davis: ?! You’re ruthless!
Lewis Horton: “…”
…
Fragrance House.
Uncle Olsen was sitting in private room number 8 with Ellis Olsen by his side.
The two of them quietly stared at the door of the room.
Uncle Olsen checked the time, it was already noon. Was the kid going to be late?
Outside.
Jodie South got out of her own car, glanced at the name of the Fragrance House, smiled slightly, and entered. She then walked towards private room number 8.
She was hesitating whether to wait for Keira or not while walking with her head down…
But upon checking the time, she realized that Keira Olsen was already late. As her mother, she had to host the guests to some extent and not let them wait too long in the private room, as it would seem quite impolite.
So, Jodie South opened the door straightaway…
Inside.
When Uncle Olsen heard the door open, he paused slightly, then looked up immediately. Upon seeing the figure he had dreamed of countless times standing in the doorway, he froze!!
He promptly pulled out a chair, and stood up instantly.
When Jodie South saw him, her pupils slightly constricted!
After more than twenty years, Uncle Olsen bore the marks of the years, but he was still the man from her memories!
