Lewis took note of the address and replied “Sure. Sorry for disturbing you.”
He had to bring a family doctor to check on his grandmother tonight, or else he would be worried.
“Need Iron” didn’t reply again.
He could tell she didn’t like polite formalities.
Lewis quietly made note of her little quirk.
“Mr. Horton, are you messaging Mrs. Horton?”
Someone nearby teased him. “You can’t hide the smile on your face.”
The corner of Lewis’s lips tightened stiffly.
He put away his phone and turned to the one who spoke.
After Lewis became the CEO of the Horton Group, the mysterious Mrs. Horton made people suspect if she even existed.
So, he didn’t deny it.
The person took his silence as admission and flattered him, “Mr. Horton, you really are upright and devoted to Mrs. Horton. You were unmoved even by the attractive chef just now. You are a role model for us all!”
With this, others chimed in, “We’re very curious about Mrs. Horton. What sort of person could capture Mr. Horton’s heart… Old Mrs. Horton must be pleased with her, right?”
Everyone knew vaguely that Lewis didn’t get on well with the Horton family except for Old Mrs. Horton.
Lewis lowered his gaze and simply replied, “Well, yes. Granny quite likes her.”
Outside.
Bored out of her mind, Keira was waiting when a familiar voice rang out.
“Keira!”
She turned to face a familiar, handsome face.
Jake, wearing a black suit, was known for his gentle and caring demeanor, but now he was looking at her with a stormy expression. “So, you’re here.”
Keira bit her lip.
During her university years, she was always on her own. She was a loner.
Jake was outgoing and cheerful and often stayed with her, making him her only friend.
But their statuses now made their relationship awkward.
She hesitated. “Is there something you need?”
Jake sneered coldly, “Isla informed me about your background. Why did you keep it from me? I despise mistresses and love children the most, yet I courted you, an outsider like that, for four years. Was it fun?”
A pain, like someone clutching her heart tightly, swept over Keira…
She had always wondered why Jake, who had promised her a surprise at the graduation ceremony, had proposed to Isla instead.
So, this was why.
His parents weren’t in a harmonious relationship and apparently, he had a step-sister who was an illegitimate child.
