How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire -
Chapter 302 - Chapter 302 Chapter 301
Chapter 302: Chapter 301 Chapter 302: Chapter 301 Keira Olsen gazed greedily at his face.
Over the past month, she had felt incredibly lonely and missed him dearly.
But she knew she shouldn’t disturb him and Madeleine Davis.
Letting him think she was dead was actually the best choice.
So, even though she knew what he meant, she still asked, “Mr. Horton, what are you doing here?”
Lewis Horton put down Amy, whom he had been holding, and handed her over to an assistant.
Tom Davis wasn’t by his side, always in Oceanion handling things for Horton Group, and in his absence, only Tom could keep the first branch of the family under control.
The assistant took the child and went aside to play.
Lewis Horton then walked step by step towards her, the man having lost much weight, appearing especially haggard; every step he took made Keira Olsen’s heart beat faster.
Keira Olsen silently stepped back.
Not knowing how many steps she had taken, she suddenly bumped into the living room sofa, with nowhere to retreat to, and just watched as Lewis Horton approached her.
The man was a head taller than her. At such close distance, she could see the hollows of his cheeks.
He still wore the pleasant vanilla scent, the fragrance he always used in his shower gel…
Keira Olsen tensed her jaw, silent.
Lewis Horton slowly approached, and said slowly, “You always wanted to replace Keera and get a divorce, so I didn’t come to bother you, but today you’re already divorced, Keira, can you come home now?”
Keira Olsen’s pupils contracted.
So he had recognized her all along?
Was it that night?
Thinking it over, he had clearly pursued her the next day, yet she hadn’t acknowledged him, and afterward, Lewis Horton indeed didn’t pester her much, simply leaving.
Did he realize she had other arrangements?
Keira Olsen pondered for a long time…
No…
She had never slipped up, and besides, Keera was a real person; Lewis Horton couldn’t possibly have recognized her.
Thinking this, Keira Olsen once again adopted the frail demeanor of Keera, her act over the past month making her adept at showing weakness.
She said directly, “Mr., Mr. Horton, I don’t understand what you mean…”
After speaking, for a long time, she didn’t detect any change in the man in front of her.
Keira Olsen slowly raised her head, wanting to see his reaction, only to find him looking at her with a smile.
His smile was so gentle, so accommodating, as if indulging a child throwing a tantrum with him, which complicated Keira Olsen’s emotions momentarily.
There was even a moment when she wanted to throw herself into his arms, to tell him she was Keira Olsen, to ask for his help in rescuing her mother, to clear up what was happening…
To have him take on the responsibilities she bore…
But this thought was fleeting.
She maintained Keera’s behavior, refusing to acknowledge her identity.
After a while, all that could be heard was the man’s sigh, “Keira, I have investigated you and Keera thoroughly this past month… Keera appears weak but is actually strong inside, truly different from you. She also wanted a divorce, and your actions this past month didn’t raise any suspicion. But you know what the biggest difference between you two is?”
Keira Olsen really wanted to know!
But she couldn’t say.
She bowed her head, still silent.
Lewis Horton didn’t need her to say anything, he simply said softly, “The two of you, there’s one major physical difference, which is…”
He suddenly lifted her chin, his rough hand touching the corner of her eye.
Lewis Horton looked at her seriously, “Keira, I won’t say your eyes look different, feel different. Because I don’t know Keera. But you have a mole by your eye, Keera doesn’t, that’s the biggest difference between you two.”
With those words, his large hand rubbed the corner of Keira Olsen’s eye.
Trying to rub off the foundation and reveal the mole underneath…
But his fingers twitched, then paused slightly.
Suddenly, Keira Olsen’s eye corner remained as immaculate as before, without any trace of a mole!
Lewis Horton’s expression instantly became frantic.
He no longer possessed his earlier composure; his hand rubbed forcefully at Keira Olsen’s eye corner again…
But still nothing!
Lewis Horton’s pupils contracted, his whole being in disbelief as he looked at her, “How… how can it not be there?”
Keira Olsen stood quietly.
Of course, she knew the biggest difference between herself and Keera, and to prevent the “South Family” who might abduct her mother from discovering her identity, she had specifically applied a special solvent to the mole at her eye corner so it could not possibly be detected.
She bit her lip, weak yet aggrieved as she spoke, “Mr. Horton, you’re hurting me…”
Lewis Horton’s fingers paused, suddenly extending his arm, he pulled Keira Olsen tightly into his embrace, “Keira, I know it’s you, please don’t scare me, okay? This past month, I’ve been quietly waiting for you, I can’t bear to lose you again…”
As he spoke in this manner, Keira Olsen couldn’t help but have her eyes well up.
She silently sighed, clenching her fists tightly.
Apparently, Lewis Horton hadn’t been recovering; he was lying in wait.
He might not even be sure if she really was Keira Olsen, yet he had sustained himself on this belief, enduring until today; if she still didn’t acknowledge it, it indeed would be a second stab to his heart.
So, should she acknowledge?
Her heart wrestled with the idea, her thoughts seeming to split into two, fiercely battling each other in her mind!
But just as she hadn’t yet decided, her body had already honestly responded.
She stretched out her arm, embracing the man’s waist…
