Keira hesitated before speaking. “Grandma, did you have someone help us get
our marriage certificate
with Lewis?” @
Old Mrs. Horton held Keira's hand and laughed. “How could that be! Do you
really think the rich can do anything? For such a matter, both parties must be
present!”
Keira became even more puzzled upon hearing this, but she didn’t ask any
further and just listened to old
Mrs. Horton.
Over the past few years, old Mrs. Horton felt she had never been as lucid as she
was today, and she said, “It was about two years ago, I don’t remember the exact
date, but at that time Lewis was home for a week during his holiday from
studying abroad.
“I remember waking up at noon that day, feeling a bit groggy. I wanted to find
him, and somehow I ended up walking out the door, getting farther and farther
from home, and eventually falling on the street. My leg was uncomfortable, and I
hurt my arm too. I tried to stand

up but had no strength at all and was struggling on the ground for a long time. I
even asked several people for help, but alas! No one helped. I understand,
though, that everyone's afraid of being targeted by the elderly trying to
deliberately provoke others. It was then, my dear granddaughter-in-law, that you
appeared! Do you
remember?”
Keira suddenly remembered that there had indeed
been such an incident.
She usually had a good memory, and especially since several people had
advised her not to help the old lady
when she went to offer aid.
But Keira didn't listen to them.
She simply asked someone to take out a phone and record a video as proof, and
then she went forward and helped the old lady up.
After the old lady finally got up, Keira realized the old lady had injured her leg, so
she carried her to a nearby hospital to get treatment.
Then came the dramatic moment.
At the hospital, after the nurse had finished treating
the old lady she was about to say goodbye, but
11:31

unexpectedly, the old lady grabbed hold of her, telling her not to leave.
At the time, Keira really thought she'd encountered someone trying to provoke
trouble and frowned, but then the old lady looked at her with bright eyes. “Good
child, are you married?”
Keira shook her head.
The old lady smiled. “I have a good-for-nothing grandson at home. Would you
like to make do with him?"
Keira was dumbfounded.
“Good child, this must be destiny! You're meant to be my granddaughter-in-law.
Shall I introduce my grandson to you? He's quite handsome!”
Old Mrs. Horton took out her phone and showed her a
photo.
Keira had a quick look at the photo at that time and couldn't help but laugh.
“Ma'am, I don’t want to get married yet!"
Old Mrs. Horton looked sorry to hear that. “Is that so... Well, if you ever want to
get married and don’t have a
3/9
231 Truth
suitable partner, come find me! My grandson says he never plans to marry in this
lifetime, which is really worrying.”
After saying this, old Mrs. Horton handed her a business card.
Keira didn't say anything. She had met many capable elderly people over the
years, and she had learned a
lot from them.
She was well aware that the older they get, the more peculiar their personalities
become.
However, once she left the hospital, she immediately placed the business card
on a nearby trash bin and left.
It was just an ordinary day in her life, so the memory gradually faded away.
Today, when old Mrs. Horton suddenly mentioned it, she remembered that day
and began to associate old Mrs. Horton with the lady in her memory.
Keira was surprised. “So it turns out that the old lady back then was you!”
“Right, that's why I said, my granddaughter-in-law, we
11:31
4/9
231 Truth
are fated!” Old Mrs. Horton chuckled and continued.
“Then, I thought you really didn’t want to get married and felt regretful for several
days. But on the fourth day, you called me, saying you wanted to get married
after all, so I tricked the brat over, and you two went to the courthouse to get your
marriage certificate!”
Old Mrs. Horton said this, then gave her a reproachful glance. “After getting
married that day, you took me and the brat home and said you'd go back to pack
your luggage and move in, leaving the marriage certificate
with me for safekeeping. But I never expected that you wouldn't return... My
granddaughter-in-law, why didn’t you come back? Did you have second
thoughts?”
Keira’s eyes widened in astonishment as she listened.
She clearly remembered throwing away the bess card, so how could she
possibly turn back to
Mrs. Horton?
She looked at old Mrs. Horton. “Are you sure tha person who went to see you
later was really me?
“It was you!”
Old Mrs. Horton nodded affirmatively, “The procedur for your marriage
registration were all

official; the photos were taken on the spot. Isn't that you on the marriage
certificate?”
Keira tightened her jaw.
She suddenly turned to Lewis, only to see him frowning slightly, yet seemingly
not surprised.
Keira asked, “Mr. Horton, according to what old Mrs. Horton said, you personally
obtained the certificate. How could you not remember it afterward?”
Lewis just chuckled bitterly and helplessly stroked his
forehead.
Before he could speak, old Mrs. Horton interjected. “Granddaughter-in-law, this
brat has a problem: he can't drink alcohol. Just one drink and he gets drunk, and
when he’s drunk, he's not like other people. He acts as if he hasn't had a drink at
all; nobody can tell but he becomes exceptionally compliant. He'll do
whatever I tell him to do!”
Old Mrs. Horton bragged with pride. “So initially, I tricked him into having a sip of
alcohol, took advantage of his dazed state, and made him go get the certificate
with you!”
Keira was speechless.

From the time she met Lewis until now, she indeed had
never seen him drink.
She looked at Lewis again, only to see the man let out a slight sigh. “After
Grandma showed the marriage certificate, I had my suspicions. My guess was
right.”
Lewis looked toward old Mrs. Horton. “Grandma, you really made a fuss. Luckily
it was Keira. If it had been
someone else..."
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Keira's cheeks turned slightly red. What did he mean by “luckily it was her"?
Old Mrs. Horton snorted. “I was dressed in rags at the time, and so many people
didn’t help me up, only my granddaughter-in-law did. This shows that she has a
good heart. Do you think I would pick just anyone to be your wife?"
Old Mrs. Horton teased him. “Brat, are you satisfied or
not?”
Lewis didn’t speak but looked toward the girl with a tender and affectionate gaze.
Yet Keira appeared solemn as if facing a great enemy.

He thought of Keira’s recent conversation with old
Mrs. Horton and frowned slightly, his voice deep as he asked, “What's wrong? Is
there a problem?”
“Of course, there's a problem.”
