111 Hug for a Moment
Keira’s eyes shone faintly, her voice soft lest she startle the old lady. “Then, how
did we get our marriage certificate?”
Old Mrs. Horton said with a smile. “I remember that day. You wore a red
sweater...”
Ared sweater?
Keira paused slightly. Indeed, she had a red sweater, which she bought three
years ago during New Year. She stayed alone in her rented room. She wanted to
dress joyfully, so it wouldn't feel so lonely.
And sure enough, that was the sweater she was wearing in the marriage
certificate photo.
Old Mrs. Horton continued. “That brat was wearing a black suit, and off you two
went to get your
certificate!”
Keira frowned.
The courthouse had said that getting married definitely required the presence of
both parties. What
old Mrs. Horton said meant Keira had indeed obtained

a marriage certificate with Lewis two years ago.
Why didn’t she or Lewis know about it?
It couldn’t be something as melodramatic as both of them having amnesia, could
it?
Besides, she had a good memory. She clearly remembered everything she had
done two years ago!
Keira continued. “How did we meet?”
Old Mrs. Horton looked at her earnestly. “Of course, it was because of me...”
“What did you do?”
Keira asked the question, but old Mrs. Horton yawned, and her gaze went from
confused to clear. “Oh my, granddaughter-in-law, what are you doing up so
early?”
Keira hadn’t managed to get the crucial information, but it wasn’t a total loss. At
least she now knew their marriage had indeed been orchestrated by the old lady,
but what exactly the old lady had done, Keira didn't
know.
She might as well wait until the clinical medication was ready and cure the old
lady’s illness before

discussing it further.
Keira sighed, “Grandma, it's time for breakfast.”
After old Mrs. Horton had freshened up, both of them sat in the dining room.
The Horton family’s housekeeper had prepared a very abundant breakfast. Keira
and old Mrs. Horton chatted while waiting for Lewis.
“That brat is so tall. I think he might be over six feet three.”
Old Mrs. Horton gestured with her hand, “He’s half a meter taller than me!”
Keira smiled. “Yes, he should be that tall.”
She wasn't short herself and stood at one five feet si but every time she stood
beside Lewis, she still felt petite.
As the two were chatting, a freshly groomed Lewis
came out.
Old Mrs. Horton simply asked, “Brat, how tall are you?”
The man looked puzzled, his gaze falling on Keira.

“What's up?”
Keira raised her eyebrows. “Just give it to me.”
Stunned, Lewis pressed his lips together, not speaking.
Old Mrs. Horton then said, “Brat, do as your wife says!”
Lewis lowered his gaze slightly and said to Keira, “Then why don’t you stand
up?”
Keira obediently stood up.
She had thought he just wanted to see how much taller he was than her, but to
her surprise, the next moment, he stepped forward, wrapping his arm around her
waist, and pulling her into an embrace.
Keira was dumbfounded.
Her brain buzzed for a moment.
He must have just finished working out. Even thr her clothes, she could feel the
resilience of the muscles on his chest. He had just taken a shower. H hair was
still dripping, and his damp skin had the grassy scent of the shower gel.
Keira’s face flushed. Puzzled, she looked up only to see the man looking down at
her intently. “Is this okay?”

Keira blinked, “Huh?”
“Shall I continue?”
Keira was perplexed.
Her brain had crashed for several seconds before she
finally realized what was happening and pushed Lewis away in embarrassment.
“I mean give me your height, not this...”
Lewis then realized his blunder, and his ears instantly turned red.
Old Mrs. Horton burst into laughter beside them. “This is better, much better than
a number... Hug more when you're free. I'd like to have a great-grand
soon...”
Keira held back her laughter and hurriedly sat do
Lewis couldn't help but glance at her. Her smile wa bright, and the tips of her

on the other side of old Mrs. Horton, a voice rang out. “You've just come home,
so we've come to join you for breakfast!”
The voice arrived before the people did.
Turning their heads, they saw Jake Horton's mother, Melissa Knight, walk in with
a smile.
Following her came Lewis's father, Nathan, Jake's father and Lewis's older
brother, Oliver, Jake, and Isla.
Once they entered, Fiona immediately arranged for the servants to get busy.
New tableware was brought out from the kitchen one after another and placed on
the dining table.
Nathan took a seat directly opposite the long dini table from old Mrs. Horton,
which was considered secondary position of honor.
Oliver sat in the first seat below him, and Jake naturally sat beside him...
Melissa approached Keira and said with a smile, “Miss Olsen, could you please
make some room?”
Keira paused, and before she knew it, Melissa had already moved her cutlery
toward the next chair.

Before old Mrs. Horton could speak up, Melissa was already holding her hand,
grinning.
“Granny, I come with good news today!”
Hearing this, Keira glanced subconsciously at Isla’s stomach. Was it this sort of
good news?
While pondering, old Mrs. Horton also asked, “What good news?”
Melissa gestured for Isla to come to her side, and Isla moved closer. “Isla has
made a big contribution to the police department, and the department wants to
give her a public commendation! For the Horton family, this is definitely good
news!”
A prestigious family like the Hortons valued reputa
above all.
Having a heroic daughter-in-law with a positive im was hugely beneficial for
them.
Isla smiled and said, “I was just doing what I should.”
But Melissa shook her head, “That's not how you should see it. You've done
splendidly this time. I'll have the Horton Group’s PR team promote this matter.
You'll marry Jake in glory! In the future, you'll be his

lawful wife! The hostess of this family!”
Isla’s eyes immediately lit up, and her heart bloomed with joy.
She hadn’t expected that Connor would bring her such
honor!
With a sense of triumph, she glanced at Keira and then chuckled. “Auntie, thank
you for your kindness.”

After that, she looked at Keira, smiled,
and added, “Lewis, your wife has

years. She doesn't need to rush back.

Lewis didn’t say a word.
Melissa then made room. “Come, Isla, sit here! Keep your great-grandmother
company for the meal.”

After that, she seemed to remember something and looked toward Keira. “Oh
dear, I'm sorry. I've overlooked Miss Olsen, our guest. But you wouldn't mind,
right?”
Keira didn’t say anything.
At that moment, her phone chimed.

Keira took a look and discovered it
was Josh from Twitter sending her a
message. “Ms. S. I've discovered a

with him. I have evidence! I'm going
