YM778.TV Chapter 120 - 120: Husband
It was so hot…
His body was very cool.
Especially the breath in his mouth, which was like a pool of clear water, making Keira wish she could immerse herself in it.
Having spent some time with Lewis, she had developed mutual affection with him. It seemed there was no problem in just going with the flow.
That thought almost made Keira give up resisting.
No.
Keira suddenly came to her senses.
She and Lewis were just fond of each other, but they had never actually expressed their feelings clearly; she couldn’t just…
With that thought, she suddenly bit down on Lewis’s lips.
A metallic sweetness instantly filled both their mouths.
Lewis, in pain, released her, and his drunken gaze suddenly became clear.
The two looked at each other for a moment before he abruptly stood up.
Keira also moved back, widening the distance between them.
Lewis rubbed his temples and, looking down at his own disheveled and embarrassed state, and said, “I’m going to take a cold shower.”
Leaving those words behind, he rushed into the bathroom.
Keira also felt her cheeks heating up.
She patted her face and took a medicine bottle out of her pocket. After swallowing a pill, the discomfort in her body gradually subsided.
She couldn’t help but look at herself in the mirror.
Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes were watery. She was too embarrassed to look at herself.
She quickly shifted her gaze away.
About ten minutes later, Lewis came out of the bathroom, bringing a cold aura with him. He wore a bathrobe, and his tall figure and distinct facial features
were imposing.
His ears were still a bit red, but his eyes had regained their usual clarity.
“Sorry.”
He kept a distance from Keira. “I was out of line just now.
The awkward atmosphere spread through the room again.
The heat she had suppressed with medicine was showing signs of resurgence.
Keira cleared her throat to change the subject. “You just said you found out about Mrs. Olsen’s background?”
“Yes, part of it,” Lewis answered earnestly. “Clance is a sensitive area for me; it’s somewhat inconvenient for my people to gather information. We only found out that Mrs. Olsen comes from the South family in Clance. It’s a family that seems somewhat mysterious. I’ll have my people look further into it.”
“Okay.”
Keira nodded.
In the end, after old Mrs. Horton went back to her room, Keira quietly slipped back to her own room.
She lay on her bed and closed her eyes.
Ten minutes later, Keira abruptly opened her eyes and touched her lips… Images of that kiss flooded her mind; she simply couldn’t fall asleep!
In the bedroom separated by just a wall, Lewis was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep. His mind was full of Keira’s delicate features and her amorous eyes. Then there was her pert, cute nose, and further down, those cherry-red lips seemed to be waiting for someone to kiss them…
Another wave of heat came over him.
Lewis fiercely threw off the blankets, gasping deeply.
Wasn’t it said that the medicine would wear off automatically after an hour or two? Why was he still feeling so restless?
The next morning, Lewis got up and exercised a bit in his room. When he went out for breakfast, Keira was nowhere to be seen, and he felt a slight sense of
relief.
During breakfast, old Mrs. Horton asked, “Where is my granddaughter-in-law?”
Lewis paused for a moment before replying, “She was tired last night. Let her sleep.”
Old Mrs. Horton’s eyes instantly lit up.
When Keira woke up, she felt that old Mrs. Horton’s attitude was off. “Granddaughter-in-law, does your back hurt? Come, have a seat on the sofa. “Granddaughter-in-law, do your legs hurt? Do you need someone to give you a massage to relax?
“Granddaughter-in-law, are you tired? If you are, you can go back to bed…” Keira pursed her lips, cutting off old Mrs. Horton. “Where is Mr. Horton?” “He went to work,” old Mrs. Horton complained. “I told him not to go. You’d definitely be upset that he ran off after your first time.”
Keira was perplexed.
What was all this about?
She found it absurd and was about to say something to old Mrs. Horton when there was a noise at the door.
Fiona the butler, walked in.” Mrs. Horton, they’re saying something happened in the’front yard. Today, young Master Jake and Miss Isla have registered their marriage. Since Isla has the Horton family’s child, she cannot live outside. So, starting today, she’s moving in!”
Upon hearing this, old Mrs. Horton responded coolly, “Understood.”
Fiona laughed and continued. “There’s one more thing. Madam Melissa said that she wanted to rest for a while, so during this period, all the household matters will be arranged by Miss Isla. She also asked me to tell you that if there is anything at your end or Miss Olsen’s end, you can talk to Miss Isla.”
Upon hearing this, Keira raised an eyebrow.
Melissa actually relinquished the power to manage the household so easily?
Isla had some tricks up her sleeve!
But old Mrs. Horton sneered. “The matters at my end are arranged by you, and they have nothing to do with her.”
Fiona just smiled and didn’t say a word.
Keira then stood up. “Grandma, I’ll go have a look.”
Old Mrs. Horton knew she wanted to inquire about Mrs. Olson’s health, so she didn’t stop her.
Keira left the house, intending to head toward the front yard when she saw a figure not far away. Upon seeing Keira, the person immediately walked toward her. It was Jake!
Now, whenever Keira saw him, she felt somewhat bewildered.
The passionate classmate from their college days had become utterly unrecognizable…
While she was contemplating this, Jake approached her, anger evident on his face. “Keira, I never thought you would really latch on to my uncle like this!”
Keira frowned, not wanting to get entangled with him. As she tried to walk past him, Jake’s dejected voice followed. “Do you think that by debasing yourself you can take revenge on me?”
Keira stopped in her tracks.
She looked at Jake as if he were crazy. “Jake, you’re thinking too much. I never planned to get involved with Mr. Horton just to take revenge on you…”
“You still won’t admit it?!”
Jake’s eyes were red-rimmed with anger as he clenched his fists. He suddenly took out his phone and showed her a photo. “This was taken last night. How do you explain this?!”
Keira looked at it, only to see a picture from last night when she was in Lewis’s room.
The photo was taken through a window behind a layer of white sheer curtains, blurrily showing a man pressing a woman underneath him on a sofa.
Indeed, it was her and Lewis!
Keira’s pupils shrunk as she frowned. “Who gave you this photo?”
“That’s not important!”
Jake glared at her. “What is important is, you’re already married, yet here you are seducing my uncle, playing the mistress. Does your husband know?” Looking at his furious countenance, Keira suddenly let out a scoff.. “Do you even know who my husband is?
