How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 262 - Chapter 262 Chapter 262
Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Howard was just about to walk forward when he heard this and instantly became stunned.
Howard’s mother was so shocked her steps trembled, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
Both of them turned around in unison, looking at Keira Olsen with wary and angry eyes.
Howard’s mother scolded in a low voice, “What nonsensical things are you spouting?!”
Howard wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile trying to ingratiate himself to Uncle Olsen, “Uncle, she, she hasn’t seen much of the world, please, please don’t take her seriously…”
But upon saying this, they saw Uncle Olsen suddenly stand up.
Howard was so frightened he almost knelt right there and immediately turned back, glaring at Keira Olsen, “You ignorant wretch, what are you yelling about? Apologize to Uncle Olsen at once!”
However, to their surprise, as soon as Howard had said this, Uncle Olsen had already walked past him and approached Keira Olsen, “Kid, I sent you a WhatsApp message, why didn’t you reply? Are you still mad at me for not showing up last time?”
Howard, who had internally cursed Keira Olsen’s ancestors for eighteen generations: ?
Howard’s mother, who was preparing to go home and harshly deal with the mother and daughter: ??
Both were dumbfounded, gazing cluelessly at Keira Olsen and Uncle Olsen.
Keira Olsen was also wide-eyed at this moment; she unconsciously took out her phone and then realized that her phone had long been lost at the bottom of the sea. The phone she used now belonged to Keera, and she didn’t have Handsome Uncle’s WhatsApp at all.
Thinking of this, she lowered her gaze, “Um, the WhatsApp you added was another number, and I lost my phone.”
“Shall we add each other again?”
Uncle Olsen humbly took out his phone and opened the QR code for her again.
Howard was dumbfounded, “…”
Everyone outside said Uncle Olsen’s WhatsApp was the most difficult to add. Just yesterday, he and Uncle Olsen had chatted, and after a probing question, Uncle Olsen had agreed.
And today he was actively adding Keera’s WhatsApp?
Was this really the cold, ruthless, iron-fisted, and enigmatic Uncle Olsen he had heard about?!
Keira Olsen stared at his phone, feeling somewhat unwilling at the bottom of her heart.
Before she knew he was Uncle Olsen, she was quite happy interacting with him as a stranger.
But now that she knew he was Uncle Olsen… her mother, Jodie South, didn’t want to see him at all…
…Forget it, with so many people watching, it would be embarrassing for Uncle Olsen if she didn’t agree.
Keira Olsen took out her phone and added him on WhatsApp again.
Howard, watching them, wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead, “Uncle, you, you know Keera?”
Uncle Olsen’s gaze darkened.
He nodded, just about to say something, when Keira Olsen cut in, “We met today at Mrs. Horton’s funeral.”
Uncle Olsen’s words paused briefly before he turned his gaze back to Howard, landing on Howard’s mother…
Was this the very good mother the kid had spoken about?
She didn’t look that impressive…
He disdainfully withdrew his gaze and asked them to sit down.
Uncle Olsen stared at Keira Olsen’s face and asked, “Miss… You’re Miss South, correct? Does your surname come from your father or your mother?”
Keira Olsen hesitated slightly.
She really didn’t know…
The surname South was indeed quite rare.
She only knew that Keera had adoptive parents, but she wasn’t clear on the specifics.
But Howard immediately spoke before she needed to answer, “Her adoptive father’s last name is South!”
Uncle Olsen was startled, “Adoptive father?”
Howard laughed, “Right, right, she was an abandoned infant. She was just born when she was thrown away, then her adoptive parents took her in. Later, they lived on the outskirts of Clance. Afterward, her adoptive parents both passed away, leaving behind a small villa and a company…”
Both adoptive parents had passed away?
Keira Olsen was also somewhat surprised.
No wonder Keera had been bullied so easily by Howard and Howard’s mother all these years and never had any family to stand up for her! So, her adoptive parents were gone!
Uncle Olsen pursed his lips, his gaze fell back on Keira Olsen’s face, and seeing she seemed reluctant to speak further, he changed the subject, “Are you also in Clance?”
“Right, right, we have a small villa on the northern outskirts of Clance, and there’s a small company there too…”
Uncle Olsen inquired, “What kind of business is it?”
“New energy! Isn’t it booming this year? We just recruited a few people and are working on that!”
Howard finished speaking and then looked eagerly at Uncle Olsen, hoping that if Uncle Olsen could pass a project to them, their company’s market value could increase tenfold!
But who was Uncle Olsen?
He had already sensed the discord between Keira Olsen and Howard. He merely sipped his tea calmly before passing the tea cup in front of him to the others.
After the group finished their tea, the dishes from Fragrance House were served.
Uncle Olsen invited everyone to move to the dining table to eat. Once everyone settled, his gaze fleetingly glanced at the teacup Keira Olsen had used just moments before.
Looking at the carefully prepared meals, Howard immediately flattered, “Uncle, the food here is truly delicious. We’ve never had such authentic Oceanion cuisine in Clance! Is this made by the head chef of Fragrance House?”
The server beside them sighed immediately, “Our head chef… is Mrs. Horton. They say that when she was studying and interning, she met a state banquet level chef who taught her everything he knew, so that’s why her dishes are so delicious. But Mrs. Horton only cooked once a month, and even if you broke your head trying, you could never get a seat, there was always a waiting list… It’s a pity…”
The server lowered their head after finishing.
The owner of the restaurant had always been very mysterious, and they had never met them.
It wasn’t until the news of Mrs. Horton’s death that the restaurant manager cried so much, and then they found out.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen’s mood also turned solemn, he put down his chopsticks, sighed heavily, and then looked at Keira Olsen, “How was Mrs. Olsen when you visited her today?”
Keira Olsen began, “Mrs. Olsen hasn’t woken up yet…”
“She’s awake.”
Uncle Olsen interrupted her, “Mrs. Olsen sent me a message saying she wanted to ask me for a favor.”
Keira Olsen was stunned, “What favor?”
Uncle Olsen shook his head, “I don’t know, I went to the hospital to see her but didn’t find anyone. She was discharged later.”
“Discharged?”
Keira Olsen was slightly agitated, “Mrs. Olsen is so frail, why would she be discharged in good health?”
Uncle Olsen noticed her emotions, and with a slight start, looked at her.
Keira Olsen realized she had been inappropriate and coughed, “I just think it doesn’t make sense.”
Uncle Olsen nodded, “That’s why, if you have time, young friend, could you visit her home for me once again?”
Keira Olsen immediately stood up, “I’m free right now.”
She looked straight at Howard and before she could speak, Howard immediately waved his hand, “Running errands for Uncle, you go, you go!”
Keira Olsen nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
She could hide from everyone the news that she was still alive, but she couldn’t hide it from her mother!
