How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 318 - Chapter 318 Chapter 317

Chapter 318: Chapter 317 Chapter 318: Chapter 317 Mrs. Jones looked at Lewis Horton in confusion and then at Kiera Olsen, feeling as if she had misunderstood something, “What?”

Lewis Horton didn’t want to talk any further.

Kiera Olsen just smiled and said, “Just listen to him. Tomorrow morning, have your husband take the contract to Horton Group.”

Mrs. Jones: “…”

She couldn’t help but take another look at Lewis Horton. The man, although dressed in sportswear, exuded a refined air of nobility that didn’t seem typical of an ordinary person.

Could it be… he was a member of the Horton Family?

As Mrs. Jones was pondering this, she saw Kiera Olsen finish speaking, then picked up Amy and sat in the back seat of the car, while Lewis Horton took the driver’s seat.

Mrs. Jones: “…”

Was this man possibly Keera’s driver?

Or maybe Keera’s husband?

She was overthinking it.

Mrs. Jones shook her head, bent down to pick up her son, and also got into the car to go home.

In the car on the way home, Amy’s arms were tightly wrapped around Kiera Olsen, the little one feeling utterly insecure at that moment.

She asked weakly, “Mommy, did I cause trouble for the family…?”

Kiera Olsen’s heart melted when she heard this, and she quickly hugged her, “No, Amy is the best behaved.”

The small child didn’t understand deception or that her mother had been replaced, but instinct made her uneasy, and she wouldn’t let go as she said, “Mommy, will you abandon Amy?”

“Of course not.”

Kiera Olsen gently patted her back, all the way home Amy never let go.

So, that night, Kiera Olsen ended up with an extra cling-on.

During dinner, Amy wanted to sit on her lap.

Later in the evening, when Kiera Olsen was dealing with company matters, Amy still needed to be held…

By the time everything was taken care of and it was dark outside, Kiera Olsen just stood up when Lewis Horton came over, stretching out his hand, “I’ll take Amy to her room to sleep.”

Kiera Olsen didn’t think much of it and handed Amy over to him.

But perhaps it was her mother’s scent she detected, for as soon as Amy entered Lewis Horton’s arms, she immediately started squirming restlessly, calling out with her eyes closed and reaching out with her arms, “Mommy, mommy…”

Kiera Olsen, with no other choice, reached out her hands to take the child back.

She took Amy straight to her bedroom and after laying her on the bed, the little one still clutched tightly at her sleeve, not letting her leave.

Kiera Olsen simply lay down beside her.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when she heard a noise at the door, turned her head, and caught a glimpse of Lewis Horton standing there.

There were no lights on in the bedroom; the dim light from the hallway spilled onto his figure.

The man had just showered, his hair still dripping. He was wearing a loosely tied robe, staring at her with his dark eyes.

Though he hadn’t said a word, the invitation was clear.

Kiera Olsen blinked, gestured to Amy clinging to her sleeve, and didn’t move.

Lewis Horton seemed to understand and turned to leave.

Thinking he got the message, Kiera Olsen simply found a comfortable position and laid down, ready to spend the night accompanying Amy.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard faint noises again.

Slowly turning her head, Kiera Olsen saw the man’s tall figure standing by the bed, bending over, doing something she couldn’t decipher.

Then, she heard a “click,” and the arm that Amy was pulling suddenly felt free.

Keira Olsen: ??

She looked down, only to discover that Lewis Horton had actually taken a pair of scissors and cut open her pajamas where Amy had been holding on!

Keira Olsen: “…”

Just as she was about to say something, the man made a “shh” sound at her, then a large hand wrapped around her shoulders and legs, and before she knew it, she was horizontally carried away by the man.

The man’s footsteps were very light, and without disturbing Amy, he quickly took her out of the children’s room, back to the master bedroom.

Keira Olsen: “…what are you doing?”

“Letting you try out the new bed.”

Keira Olsen looked at him with a smile, “Really? Just trying out the new bed?”

Both were adults, and Keira Olsen was, of course, aware of how insatiable Lewis Horton could be after breaking his 28-year-long single streak.

Lewis Horton’s face was still taut, but a touch of red slowly colored the tips of his ears.

This man simply couldn’t resist being teased…

As Keira Olsen thought about this, she saw the man suddenly take off his robe: “And try out the person again.”

“…”

Suddenly, the lights in the master bedroom were turned off, and rustling sounds echoed through the room.

Keira Olsen felt that she was quite energetic, but she was no match for the man’s stamina…

She didn’t know when she fell asleep, only remembered feeling totally spent and dozing off, the man whispered in her ear, “Is the bed comfortable?”

She answered, “It’s comfortable.”

She was dying of sleepiness!

Then she heard the man ask, “And the person? Comfortable?”

Keira Olsen: “…”

While she had a good night’s sleep on her side, Mrs. Jones was worried all night long.

Her husband’s company, hoping to impress the Horton Group, worked late into the night before returning home.

Once home, he saw Mrs. Jones’s face creased with worry and immediately asked what was wrong. Mrs. Jones recounted the day’s events at the kindergarten gate and with an apologetic tone said, “I’m sorry, I might have messed up your big opportunity.”

Mr. Sims was very reasonable, “We can’t just stand by and not help our saviors. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Mrs. Jones felt a slight warmth in her heart and was filled with even more remorse.

She nestled in her husband’s embrace, “What if we can’t land the project?”

Mr. Sims comforted her, “If we don’t get it, we’ll just remain as the second-tier wealthy family we are. What, isn’t the company’s current earnings sufficient for our spending?”

Mrs. Jones laughed but then spoke again, “But Keera and that man from her side told you to take the contract and sign it at the Horton Group tomorrow…”

Mr. Sims couldn’t help but feel amused and incredulous, “How is that possible? I haven’t even received any news from our end… Besides, we might not have been chosen this time anyway. There’s another company that’s more powerful than us, better suited for the Horton Group.”

Mr. Sims sighed, the reason for his emergency overtime tonight.

Mrs. Jones just nodded.

After the two of them lay down, only resting for three hours, Mrs. Jones sat up, “Otherwise, why don’t you give it a try at the Horton Group? The person who saved me seemed very sincere, they didn’t strike me as someone who would talk nonsense…”

Mr. Sims gave a wry smile upon hearing this, “We haven’t even received a call from the Horton Group, what’s there to try?”

Mrs. Jones pushed him, “Taking the contract for a run won’t harm us, just give it a try!”

Half an hour later.

Mr. Sims stood in front of the Horton Group’s temporary office in Clance, chuckling at himself.

He must have been bewitched, why did he listen to Mrs. Jones and come here?

Mr. Sims looked down at the contract, and as he turned to leave, Tom Davis walked out from the Horton Group and upon seeing him, immediately called out, “General Sims, right?”
