My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 458

Mary paused while eating but didn’t speak. Instead, she finished her soup before setting down the bowl. “I’m full.”

Keira immediately said, “Have a little more. You are eating for two now.”

Mary gave a bitter smile. “I don’t have an appetite.”

Keira sighed. “Alright then… go get some rest.”

Mary pursed her lips and finally looked out the window before she said, “Keira, can you…”

“Yes, I will send him away right now.”

Keira stood up, walked to the door, picked up an umbrella, and went straight into the heavy rain, where she reached Ellis and let out a silent sigh.

Ellis was already soaked to the bone. The cool wind blew against him, but he seemed to feel nothing.

Keira said, “Ellis, are you forcing Mary?”

Ellis paused. “I’m not.”

Keira then lowered her eyes. “By standing here, aren’t you forcing her or me to let you in?”

Ellis looked at her with hopeful eyes. “So can I come in…”

“You can’t.” Keira coldly refused.

She said, “You being here distracts Mary. She just had a miscarriage; her body is weak and needs proper rest. Are you sure you still want to be here?”

Ellis was taken aback.

Keira sighed. “At the very least, give her some more time to think about it. This happened just yesterday, and you’re already pressuring her to forgive you today. Do you think that’s possible?”

Ellis’s fingers tightened.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head to look toward the second floor.

There, a figure appeared at the window, but it was only a shadow.

Ellis gave a bitter smile. “Sister, do you think Mary will forgive me?”

“I don’t know.” Keira looked at him. “If it were me, I probably wouldn’t forgive you, but her… I’m not sure.”

Keira had always been a free-spirited person. When Lewis was indecisive between his old flame and her, she chose to withdraw. If Lewis dared to treat her the way Ellis did Mary, she would definitely leave.

Ellis hung his head and chuckled bitterly. “I’m just afraid she won’t forgive me.”

Keira sighed again. “But if you stay here, she definitely won’t sleep well tonight.”

After she said that, she put the umbrella in Ellis’s hand, then turned around, intending to run back home. When she looked back, she saw Lewis standing behind her in his pajamas, holding an umbrella.

She immediately took shelter under Lewis’s umbrella, and the two of them turned around and entered the living room.

After entering the house, Keira stomped her feet to get rid of the dampness on her shoes, then she said to Lewis, “It’s just a few steps; I could have run. Why did you come out too? Look, your clothes have gotten damp.”

Lewis looked down at her without speaking.

He had said he would walk every step of the way with her from now on.

These few steps were part of that journey, too.

He reached out to tousle Keira’s hair, smiled gently, placed the umbrella aside, then nudged his chin toward Keira’s back.

Keira turned around and saw Ellis holding the umbrella, already silently turning around to walk toward the doorway.

She breathed a sigh of relief. “If he really stood here all night, Mary definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep, especially since right now she’s already overthinking things. I’m genuinely worried about her child…”

This child really had a hard fate.

Unwanted by the father, tormented by various abortion drugs, and then having to undergo amniocentesis…

If Mary hadn’t been well-nourished and healthy since childhood, she might have had a miscarriage.

Lewis nodded. “Don’t think too much about it. Let’s go to bed. You’ve also had a long day.”

“Okay.”

Only then did Keira and Lewis go upstairs. They first checked on the sleeping Amy, who was now chubbier in the face and was no longer as thin as before.

She was sleeping soundly…

For children, no matter how tough times were in the past, if they live happily for long enough, they tend to forget past sorrows.

Just a little more kindness from their parents would make them very happy.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Mary could be like a child and forget the past?

Unfortunately, there were no ifs.

The damage Ellis inflicted on her was already done and was beyond repair.

Keira stroked Amy’s cheek and left the room with Lewis.

As they were leaving, Lewis couldn’t help but ask, “Do you like kids that much?”

“Yes,” Keira replied. “They’re so innocent and cute! They don’t have any worries in their eyes.”

Lewis lowered his voice, “Then, how about a few more in the future?”

“Well, if you can get pregnant, I don’t mind having a few more,” Keira rolled her eyes.

Lewis paused slightly.

Then he sighed quietly.

Indeed, how could a woman with Keira’s personality be willing to have children for him?

He only hated that the uterus was part of the female body. If it were up to him, he would definitely have more children to keep her by his side.

For some reason, he always felt like Keira was moving further and further away from him.

Just as Lewis’s heart was growing cold, he heard Keira lazily speak again. “One boy and one girl is enough.”

Lewis was surprised.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurried after her. “Then should we have a boy first, or a girl first?”

“Either is fine. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”

“As long as it’s a child you give birth to, I’ll like it,” he said.

Keira rolled her eyes and glanced at him. “Mr. Horton, do you know what you look like right now?”

“What?”

“A lovesick boy.”

Lewis chuckled but still followed her. “Lovesickness is the best betrothal gift a man can have.”

That night, Keira paid the price for teasing Lewis. When the first round ended, despite planning to have a good sleep, she found herself being pulled back into his arms.

Keira asked, “…Can we stop for today?”

“No,” Lewis’s voice was hoarse. “I can’t help it.”

Keira was dumbfounded.

She tried hard to push Lewis away. “You need to show some restraint. This is bad for your health.”

“I know,” Lewis’s kisses fell again. “But I’m in love.”

She was held by Lewis, moving from the sofa to the bed, until finally, she felt so exhausted that she couldn’t even move her fingers.

Lewis still held her tightly.

She shifted slightly, sighed, and said, “Go to bed, you big romantic.”

Keira was so tired that she closed her eyes, seemingly about to fall asleep any second. Lewis couldn’t help but laugh silently.

After all the day’s events, he figured she’d overthink with her whimsical nature, so it might be better to get some exercise to help her sleep.

He lay beside her and suddenly got up, taking his phone to the balcony, and dialed Tom’s number.

“Check on the Gill family for me…”

Tom immediately asked, “Check for what?”

Lewis’s eyes darkened, “Everything.”

Tom was taken aback, carefully asking, “And then?”

“Acquire it.”

Tom was taken aback.

“Boss, Horton Group can’t take over the Gill family. Are you going to use overseas power?”

Lewis stared into the darkness ahead, its uncertainty resembling an unknown danger. His voice was indifferent. “Yes.”

His tone was as if he was buying a hamburger. “Got it.”

Tom’s response was also straightforward. “But Boss, didn’t you say before you wouldn’t touch domestic families? Are you not afraid of exposing your identity by doing this now?”

Lewis sneered, “That’s for you to worry about.”

“…Alright,” Tom muttered to himself. “After taking over the Gill family, do you want to take over the other families too? Miss Olsen is supposed to collaborate with the five major families, why don’t you just take them all over and offer them to Miss Olsen as a betrothal gift…”

Perhaps because he was fully satisfied, Lewis had high tolerance for his assistant’s constant prattle. However, just before hanging up, Lewis suddenly added, “Oh, and look into that Nara Gill and the Gill family…”
