My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ C.222 Flowers

Keira teased him. "A token of affection."

Lewis was stunned for a moment, his gaze becoming tense. "Who gave it to you?"

"Certainly not you."

Keira raised an eyebrow.

Lewis's eyes darkened slightly. "Since it wasn't me, then it can be thrown away."

"That won't do." Keira looked up. "I'm thinking about returning it to him in the future. It looks quite valuable!"

"Huh, as if it could be anything valuable."

Keira then asked, "Do you want to see it?"

"Don't want to see it." Lewis was stubborn, but his eyes still glanced toward her neck.

Keira clicked her tongue.

"What is it?"

"How come I smell a hint of jealousy?"

The two bantered and soon arrived at the Horton residence.

Although Selena had sent them to stay in the main house, they still went to visit old Mrs. Horton first.

Seeing Lewis's sulking face, Selena didn't dare to put on airs and let them into the room.

Keira noticed that aside from the safe, all other valuable items had been removed from the room. Fiona secretly told her that all were taken to Selena's own room. What a greedy woman.

She whispered complaints, treating Keira as the hostess, with an air of seeking her decision, "…All of these were left for you by old Mrs. Horton, and now she has snatched them all away!"

Keira felt a warmth in her heart.

She had no family since she was young. Now the Olsens were renovating for her, and she was gradually getting used to life at the Horton's…

She smiled slightly and whispered back, "Don't worry. What's ours, she can't take away."

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief then.

Old Mrs. Horton was still asleep, and Keira saw her complexion looking better. She checked the readings on the surrounding equipment and, finding everything in order, felt relieved.

She and Lewis walked out of old Mrs. Horton's courtyard, heading toward the main house.

On the way, Lewis asked her, "What did Fiona tell you just now?"

Keira repeated Fiona's words with a smile, and Lewis's face turned cold. "She brought medicine for grandma; I won't mistreat her. But things that shouldn't be touched, don't even think about it!"

Keira wasn't really concerned about the property, but she did worry a bit. "We're not here to watch over Grandma; wouldn't she mistreat her?"

"Don't worry," Lewis said indifferently. "The old man isn't so good to me, but he has always been quite good to Grandma. Selena wouldn't dare to harm grandma!"

If it weren't for Nathan's great respect toward old Mrs. Horton, the old lady might not have been able to protect Lewis.

When Lewis was a child, Nathan and Oliver were set on getting rid of him, the burden.

The very thought chilled Lewis, but at that moment, his hand was suddenly taken into a warm little hand.

He looked sideways to see the girl pointing at the sky. "Look, the moon is so full tonight!"

Lewis was infected by her joyful mood and also looked up.

The moonlight was bright and beautiful.

But he only glanced once, his gaze then fell on Keira's profile.

Her silhouette was distinct, her flawless complexion so fair it was nearly translucent, with long lashes… She wasn't at all like the delicate beauty of a traditional type, but rather, she carried an air of valor.

And those lips, neither too thin nor too plump…

Lewis swallowed.

Keira was walking ahead, but then she sensed Lewis by her side had stopped.

She turned her head curiously and was instantly engulfed by the man's profound gaze.

His eyes were very deep, like the vast starry sky, which was inscrutable.

The two looked at each other, and Lewis suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them.

The night air in winter was actually a bit cold, and there were no insects or birds chirping among the surrounding trees, which made it exceptionally quiet.

So quiet that Keira could hear her own heartbeat.

She pursed her lips, and her nervous breathing grew heavier.

The atmosphere suddenly turned intimate.

Just then, Lewis slowly lowered his head…

His face drew closer and closer, so close that his breath seemed to spray onto her face.

The pleasant scent of vanilla from the man surrounded Keira's, making her subconsciously close her eyes.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

It was the sound of a heartbeat.

They were about to kiss, weren't they?

Keira, who never feared anything, now found herself so nervous that it felt like the air in her chest had been sucked out...

But the next moment, she felt something lightly brush over her head...

Keira opened her eyes in surprise, only to see a leaf in Lewis's hand. "...You had a leaf in your hair."

Keira was perplexed.

She asked without thinking, "Did you come so close just to remove this leaf for me?"

"What else?"

"I thought..." Keira started but then immediately stopped herself.

Lewis chuckled lowly. "Thought what?"

"Nothing."

Keira was angry.

She turned and walked away.

But no sooner had she turned around than her arm was forcefully pulled, and she crashed hard into Lewis's broad chest.

Keira paused, instinctively struggling, but in the next moment, Lewis lowered his head and kissed her!

Keira froze in place!

She could feel the drumming heartbeat in his chest. His lips were so soft, but then Keira's eyes widened.

Lewis was prying open her lips, gently and carefully probing at first, then suddenly launching a full assault!

The winter wind was cold.

But Keira felt this burning desire... She was having trouble breathing and wanted to retreat, but Lewis's large hand held the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

Her hands unconsciously wrapped around the man's waist...

The air seemed to have been sucked away, and her rationality vanished entirely...

After a long while, Keira felt something nudge her feet. She was jolted awake and pushed Lewis away.

With flushed cheeks, Keira looked down to see the puppy standing there, wagging its tail, its little puppy eyes looking up at them curiously and seriously, then licking her leg.

Keira was dumbfounded.

She was so embarrassed she could die!

She turned and ran quickly toward the main house, leaving only Lewis behind. He watched her from behind, touching his lips with a finger, and chuckling softly.

Then, he gestured to the puppy with a finger to his lips. "Shh... Don't tell anyone, she's shy."

The puppy looked confused.

After saying this, Lewis followed Keira, walking slowly toward the main house.

Just as he reached the doorway, he saw her standing there, looking down and kicking a pebble, with a somewhat girlish attitude, glaring at him.

Keira had never been to the main house, so she had no idea where to stay.

Lewis quickened his steps, approached her, and took her hand.

Keira immediately withdrew as if burned, coughed, and then entered the living room with him.

They were then approached by the butler, whose face bore an unusual expression.

The butler gave Keira a meaningful look and coughed. "Madam, someone has sent you a gift. I've placed it in your room."

Keira was confused.

She was taken aback. She instinctively glanced at Lewis, who frowned, clearly indicating the gift wasn't from him.

She and Lewis went upstairs, entered the room the butler had mentioned, and saw a sea of pink roses!

There were no fewer than 999 roses, almost covering the sofa...

Keira walked over and opened an envelope attached to the bouquet, which only listed the name of the person who sent the flowers: Uncle Olsen.

Keira was perplexed.

She suddenly remembered giving advice to that handsome uncle earlier, mentioning that to woo a girl he should send pink flowers...
