232 Strong Sense of Responsibility
Keira and Lewis immediately turned to look at her.”
Keira asked, “Do you know something?”
Lewis also said, “Grandma, what exactly is going on?”
Old Mrs. Horton glanced at the two of them and then out the window, making a
mysterious air about her.
Then she lowered her voice and said, “Could my granddaughter-in-law have
multiple personalities? But usually, the secondary personality doesn’t come out
because the primary personality suppresses it, so she forgets about this after the
fact!”
Keira became speechless.
So did Lewis.
Old Mrs. Horton just went on. “I've read many novels and watched TV shows,
and many protagonists have
this condition. There's even one story where the male lead has many
personalities! That female lead marries one man, yet it's as if she married
several, a real-life version of polyandry. How exhilarating!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.

Lewis twitched the corner of his mouth. “Grandma, you're almost drooling...”
Old Mrs. Horton immediately wiped the corner of her mouth and then realizing
something, glared at Lewis before turning to Keira. “My dear, do you have
multiple personalities?”
Keira rubbed her forehead. “I don't.”
She had her health checked every year, and
considering how oppressive her life had been as a child and being brainwashed
by Poppy Hill, Keira took her mental health very seriously.
Old Mrs. Horton was puzzled. “Then what else could it
be?”
Keira shook her head, also confused.
Lewis then said, “No matter what the situation is, Keira is now my wife. Let's not
overthink it; we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!”
Keira wanted to say more, but seeing old Mrs. Horton yawn and show signs of
fatigue, she realized the old lady must be worn out, so she quickly changed the
subject. “Right, the truth of it isn't really that
important Grandma vou should root”

Old Mrs. Horton nodded and looked at them. “In the
end, I don’t care. Now that you are legally married, you must live happily!”
Keira nodded.
As they were about to step out, Keira’s hand was caught by old Mrs. Horton, who
then looked at Lewis. “You can leave first. I have something private to say to my
granddaughter-in-law...”
Lewis was perplexed.
He obediently left the room, and as he closed the door, he vaguely heard old
Mrs. Horton asking,
“Granddaughter-in-law, how's the brat in bed? If he’s not up to par, you must tell
me. You can't suffer in
silence...”
Lewis was shocked.
In the room, Keira’s face also turned slightly red, not expecting old Mrs. Horton to
ask such a direct
question.
She rubbed her forehead and saw Lewis leave. She
then forced a smile. “Grandma, he has left. Whatever it is, you can tell me now.”

Old Mrs. Horton's expression turned serious again as she sighed and held
Keira’'s hand. “Actually, I wanted to talk to you about Madeleine Davis..."
Upon hearing that name, Keira was slightly startled.
Thinking of Lewis's previous unexplained disappearances or entire nights away,
she had her suspicions.
But she was always calm and restrained. She was waiting for Lewis to explain,
so she hadn't said much
about it.
Old Mrs. Horton let out a sigh. “Lewis may seem cold, but he’s actually very
sentimental and has a strong sense of responsibility. It's his strength, but at the
same time, it's his weakness.”
Old Mrs. Horton said, “Keira, I don’t want to be biased toward my own grandson.
When I had you marry him, I didn’t know about Madeleine's existence. That brat
suddenly came back saying he would never marry in his life, and in my haste, I
had you two get the
certificate.”
Keira clenched her jaw.
Old Mra Horton continuad carnactly “I knour my o

grandson. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Since he’s chosen to spend
his life with you, he'll never
let you down for the rest of your life! As for the situation with Madeleine... I don’t
know how he'll
handle it, but I wanted to tell you in advance, so you're not in the dark and at a
disadvantage.”
The words of the old Mrs. Horton came from her
perspective and warmed Keira's heart.
She nodded.
Keira and Lewis moved back to old Mrs. Horton's
courtyard to live, and Selena wanted to move into the Horton family, but Lewis
insisted on driving her away.
Nathan and Oliver had some complaints about it, bu
Lewis showed a very strong stance.
The only reason he had given in before was because Selena had a special
medicine in her hands.
Now that Keira had provided the medicine, Lewis no longer had any concerns in
front of the three of them.
Oliver said, “Selena has, after all, gotten engaged with the Cobb family. How can
she get married from

another place? She must marry from the Horton
residence!”
He was trying to pressure Lewis using the Cobb family..
Lewis sneered. “If you can’t bear to have his daughter marry from outside, I do
have a good solution.”
Oliver asked eagerly, “What is it?”
Lewis said lightly, “Divide the family. Logically speaking, after I became the family
head, the first branch of the family should have moved out long ago. You have
several properties; once you move out, there won't be any problems with how
you bring your daughter back home.”
Oliver was shocked.
He was still thinking about contending for the positi of the family head, so how
could he possibly agree to division of the household?!
Seeing him shut up, Lewis then walked with Keira toward old Mrs. Horton's
courtyard.
As night fell, Keira, bathed in the moonlight, walked ahead. She was still
pondering what old Mrs. Horton had said today, always feeling that she and
Lewis had
11:32

been schemed against.
But who was it, and why would they do this?
While she was thinking, the hand hanging at her left side was suddenly grasped
by a warm large hand. Lewis's deep voice rose in her ear. “What are you thinking
about?”
Keira said, “I'm trying to figure out what exactly is going on.”
She had already checked the records of her
movements on the day of her marriage and found that on the day she married
two years ago, she was in the lab the entire time, working on hydrogen fuel
problems, with company staff to testify.
So, who was the person who appeared at the Horto family and knew that she
was actually Mrs. Olsen's daughter?!
Lewis also frowned.
For a time, neither of them could understand what was going on, so they simply
pushed the matter to the back of their minds.
Just as they entered old Mrs. Horton's courtyard,

Lewis's phone rang.
Keira didn’t want to listen to the content of his call,
but since they were walking side by side, the voice
inside leaked out.
It was a gentle female voice. “Lewis, can you come and join me for dinner?”
Lewis's expression turned grim as he uttered just two words. “I'm busy.”

Hearing his response, Keira's heart sank slightly as if a stone had suddenly been
pressed on top of it.
She said nothing, and as she saw Lewis hang up, she walked straight toward her
own room.
After taking a few steps, her wrist was once again seized by Lewis.

Keira turned around and saw the man looking at her seriously. “Join me?”
Keira paused, suddenly feeling a subtle sentiment rising from within. She knew
that Lewis had made a
choice.
Perhaps this meeting today might be their last.
Keira wasn't a sentimental person, so she replied with
a smile. “Sure.”
The two of them walked out together and got into the
car.
On the road, Keira saw that Lewis had a grim
