How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire-Chapter 118 -

Chapter 118 -118

Keira Olsen only knew that Mrs. Olsen’s maternal family was from Clance, but despite living in Oceanion for many years, she had never contacted Clance.

From Clance, there was never any maternal family visiting her either.

However, the last time Mrs. Olsen showed up, she made the Allen Family so courteous…

This time, it was unclear what she had told Melissa Knight that made her change her attitude completely; Keira was really curious about what kind of people could have raised Mrs. Olsen.

Old Mrs. Horton shook her head, “I don’t know, what is the background of our in-laws’ mother?”

Melissa Knight just laughed, “She didn’t specify her background. However, she said she knows several prominent families in Clance and could introduce Jake to some connections. Our Horton Family, because of Lewis’s circumstances, doesn’t have deep ties with Clance. If Jake could break into the Clance market, he could definitely lead the Horton Family to greater heights, right, Grandma?”

It was then that Keira understood why Melissa Knight wanted Isla Olsen in the family, even if it meant giving up her shares.

Most of the prominent families in Clance were powerful and influential.

In the past, the Horton Family had tried to connect with them, which led to the arranged marriage of Lewis Horton’s parents. Unfortunately, the marriage not only failed to open the market but also made the Horton Family a thorn in the side of Clance.

Now, if Jake Horton could forge this path, his future position in the Horton Group was bound to rise!

If he could bring enough benefits to the Horton Family, even if he was at a disadvantage in terms of shares, he could replace Lewis Horton and become the next CEO!

After all said and done, Melissa Knight’s acceptance of Isla Olsen was still for profit.

And just now, in a few sentences, an agreement had been made between Melissa Knight and Old Mrs. Horton.

Old Mrs. Horton wouldn’t obstruct Isla Olsen’s entry into the family, and Melissa Knight would no longer insist on that five percent of the shares.

When Old Mrs. Horton saw her leaving, she couldn’t resist trying to persuade her, “Binding interests together isn’t as reliable as genuine hearts; this marriage contract, you still need to ask Jake about it.”

Melissa Knight, however, thought Old Mrs. Horton was trying to prevent the rise of the first branch of the family, narrowing her eyes, “Grandma, Lewis did find someone sincere, but what then? Aren’t the couple living apart, without even a child? If you have the time, you should pay more attention to his personal issues, especially since you keep such a woman at home as a mistress… don’t stir up more scandals.”

She glanced at Keira Olsen, then scoffed and left.

Old Mrs. Horton didn’t understand the meaning of her words, “What do you mean living apart? My daughter-in-law, aren’t you and the brat living at home? Hmm, people talk so strangely!”

Keira Olsen consoled her, “Grandma, she’s talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”

Old Mrs. Horton sighed again, “Though she does make a point. You and the brat have been married for two years now, why is there still no news? My daughter-in-law, is the brat not capable?”

Keira Olsen: !

How would she know if Lewis Horton was capable!

She hastily asked, “Grandma, what are we eating tonight?”

“Right, what should we have?”

Keira Olsen thought she had successfully changed the topic, but Old Mrs. Horton’s next question was, “What should we eat that is good for virility? Leeks?”

“…”

Keira Olsen: !!

So, when Lewis Horton came home that evening, he found the dishes for the night included: stir-fried leeks with sea cucumber, stewed mutton, stir-fried pork kidneys, shrimp balls with lychee… and ten other dishes.

Lewis Horton initially hadn’t noticed anything amiss, washed up, changed into home clothes, and sat at the dining table.

Old Mrs. Horton began picking food for him with the serving chopsticks, “Brat, eat more!”

The food in Lewis Horton’s bowl visibly piled up into a small mountain.

He couldn’t help but say, “Grandma, stop adding more, I can’t finish all of this.”

“How could you not finish?” Old Mrs. Horton earnestly sized him up, “You’re too thin, no wonder you are not performing well, you need to eat more.”

Lewis Horton was stunned, “What do you mean not performing well?”

Just as Old Mrs. Horton was about to speak, Keira Olsen, frightened, immediately yelled out, “He can’t eat well! Ah right, eating doesn’t go well!”

Lewis Horton looked puzzled, turning to Old Mrs. Horton.

Old Mrs. Horton simply said, “Right, you should eat more.”

Keira Olsen breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear the old lady remark, “If you don’t eat more, how will you give me a great-grandson?”

Keira Olsen: “…”

Lewis Horton glanced over the table at the dishes, suddenly understanding.

His face flushed bright red, he coughed once, and bowed his head to start eating.

After dinner, the couple prepared to join Old Mrs. Horton for a chat.

However, Old Mrs. Horton gestured towards Lewis Horton’s room, “Don’t bother with me, you newlyweds, go and make a baby already!”

“…”

Keira Olsen couldn’t take it anymore, she forced a smile and said, “Grandma, Mr. Horton and I…”

“Ouch, my chest hurts.” Old Mrs. Horton suddenly frowned, clutching her chest, then looked at her and asked, “What were you going to say, my dear?”

“…” Keira Olsen, recalling the last time she and Lewis Horton talked about getting a divorce, which resulted in the old lady fainting and being rushed for emergency care, quickly changed her response, “It’s nothing.”

She glared at Lewis Horton, but saw that he seemed to be smiling and didn’t refuse.

Old Mrs. Horton then held onto Fiona’s hand, “I’ll lie down here for a while, you two should also head off to bed early, go on, go on…”

With Old Mrs. Horton’s watchful eye, Keira Olsen awkwardly walked to the door of Lewis Horton’s room.

The moment they looked back together, they saw Old Mrs. Horton watching them intently, clenching her fist, “You can do it, keep it up!”

She then clutched her chest again, “Ouch, I feel discomfort.”

Keira Olsen wanted to say something more, but her wrist was suddenly grasped by the man, and Lewis Horton, lowering his gaze, whispered, “Miss Olsen, grandma cannot be upset.”

“…”

Keira Olsen helplessly entered the room with him, and the moment the door closed, the old lady immediately got up from the sofa and with Fiona’s help, hurried to the door to listen in on the noises inside.

“Fiona, do you think my great-grandchild might be conceived tonight?”

“Put in some effort, it will certainly happen!”

Keira Olsen, seeing all this through the door viewer, “…”

Keira Olsen coughed, “It must be because Isla Olsen is pregnant, it’s upsetting grandma.”

Lewis Horton raised an eyebrow, his gaze deepening.

He walked over and sat down on the sofa.

Whether it was because of the food they ate tonight having some issues or something else, he just felt the room was a bit hot, and the usually spacious bedroom now seemed somewhat cramped.

He loosened his tie, trying to change the topic, “I heard that Mrs. Olsen was here today, did she secure this marriage?”

“Yes.” Keira Olsen briefly explained the day’s events and then inquired, “Should I reveal that Isla Olsen’s child isn’t Jake Horton’s?”

“No need,” Lewis Horton’s voice was a bit hoarse, “Do you think the Horton family bloodline is that easily confused?”

Keira Olsen was stunned.

Lewis Horton then said, “What my sister-in-law is interested in is Mrs. Olsen’s social connections.”

Speaking of which, he casually started, “By the way, I investigated Mrs. Olsen’s background today, are you interested to know?”

Of course, she was interested.

Keira Olsen walked over and sat opposite him, sensing his gaze as fiery as it seemed to devour her wholly, and she also felt a rush of heat to her cheeks.

She quickly spoke, “What did you find out?”

As the words fell, she heard no reply from Lewis Horton.

She turned to look and saw him clenching his fists tightly, his forehead breaking out in a fine sweat.

Keira Olsen was startled and hurried over to ask, “What’s wrong?”

The next moment, a large hand pressed on her waist, and everything spun around her; when she came to her senses, she was already pinned under him.

The man’s breath was hot, his eyes filled with a repressed fervor.

Keira Olsen tried to push him away but found herself utterly weak.

This was…

Her pupils dilated in a flash.

Something was off with their state!

Was this the old lady’s doing?

Panicking, she attempted to push the man away, but Lewis Horton seemed unable to restrain himself any longer, he fiercely lowered his head and swallowed all her words…
