Keira stared dumbfounded at the marriage certificate in her hand.
She suddenly realized, that the first time old Mrs. Horton saw her, she called her “granddaughter-in-law”. The old lady had known all along that Keira and Lewis were married!
Keira felt that she had found a clue.
She immediately asked, “Grandma, how did you come by this marriage certificate?”
Old Mrs. Horton was taken aback, her eyes growing a touch bewildered. “I… I can’t really remember.”
Keira continued. “How did Mr. Horton and I come to be married?”
Old Mrs. Horton just shook her head. “I don’t recall:
Keira grew somewhat anxious. “Grandma, please try to think back…”
“Enough!”
Lewis said unhappily, his towering figure standing between the two women. His eyes were cold when he asked, “Miss Olsen, is this certificate real?”
“Of course.”
Lewis’s face darkened. “Are you going to say we don’t need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?”
So that was her aim!
She used a legitimate excuse like going to the Civil Affairs Bureau as a setup, then lured his grandma into taking out this fake certificate and tricking him into believing it was true.
If he hadn’t seen how his grandma just did as she was told, he might have believed Keira!
Keira sensed the hostility in the man’s tone and found it baffling. “We don’t have to go today.”
Divorce isn’t something that could be resolved by just stopping by the Civil Affairs Bureau.
For two years, they were legally husband and wife, so there were a lot of property distribution issues to deal with They needed to sign a divorce agreement first “No.”
After Lewis spoke, he carefully observed Keira.
She was slightly taken aback, then she said nonchalantly, “Whatever you say.”
He wondered if she was too confident in her acting that she wouldn’t give up until the last moment.
Or was this marriage certificate genuine?
Lewis was suddenly unsure. He simply picked up the marriage certificate and headed out. “I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.”
Keira smiled reassuringly at the old lady, then followed Lewis out.
The man walked quickly, and she almost had to trot to keep up with him.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they saw Poppy standing there with an ashen-faced Isla, who was shaking and sneezing. Poppy seemed heartbroken.
