Howard was about to move forward when he suddenly froze upon hearing those words.


    Howard’s mother was so startled that she trembled and almost fell to the ground.


    Both turned their heads sharply, looking at Keira with a mix of wariness and anger.


    Howard’s mother scolded in a low voice, “What


    nonsense are you talking about?!”


    Howard wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and said to Uncle Olsen with a ttering


    smile, “Uncle Olsen, she, she hasn’t seen much of the world. Please, please don’t take her seriously…”


    As soon as these words were spoken, they saw Uncle Olsen suddenly stand up.


    Howard was so frightened he almost knelt on the spot, and immediately turned around to re


    furiously at Keira. “You ignorant wretch, what are you yelling about? Apologize to Uncle Olsen right


    away!”


    But to his surprise, as soon as he had spoken, Uncle


    +30


    Olsen strode past him and approached Keira. “Kid, I sent you WhatsApp messages, but why didn’t you


    reply? Are you still angry about me not showing upst


    time?”


    Howard, who had already cursed Keira in his mind, was puzzled.


    Howard’s mother, who was preparing to punish Keera and Amy severely once they got home, was


    doubly puzzled.


    Both were dumbfounded, looking at Keira and Uncle Olsen with ignorance and confusion.


    Keira’s eyes were also wide; she subconsciously took out her phone, then realized her phone had long


    since been lost to the sea, and the one she was currently using belonged to Keera, which didn’t have


    Handsome Uncle on WhatsApp.


    Realizing this, she looked downward with a subdued expression, “Um, the ount that I added you on


    WhatsApp was another number. I lost my phone.”


    “Shall we add each other again?”


    Uncle Olsen humbly took out his phone and once


    again opened the OR code for her.


    Howard was utterly dumbfounded.


    Everyone outside said that Uncle Olsen’s WhatsApp was the hardest to be added to. He had a brief


    chat


    with Uncle Olsen yesterday and had tentatively asked once, and Uncle Olsen agreed.


    Today, he took the initiative to add Keera again?


    Was this really the cold-hearted, iron-fisted, and mysterious Uncle Olsen he had heard about?!


    Keira stared at his phone, feeling somewhat unwilling


    at the bottom of her heart.


    She didn’t mind associating with him when she didn’t know he was Uncle Olsen. It was happy to have


    him as


    a stranger.


    But now, she knew he was indeed Uncle Olsen, but her


    mother, Jodie South, didn’t even want to see him…


    …Well, considering so many people were watching, it would be embarrassing for Uncle Olsen if she


    refused.


    Keira took out her phone and they added each other on WhatsApp once again.


    Howard watched them, wiping the nonexistent cold


    sweat on his forehead, “Uncle Olsen. you… vou know


    Keera South?”


    South…


    Uncle Olsen’s gaze darkened.


    He nodded, just about to say something when Keira said, “We met today at Mrs. Horton’s funeral.”


    The words Uncle Olsen was about to say paused slightly, and he looked at Howard again, his gaze


    falling


    on Howard’s mother…


    Was this the “very good” mother the kid mentioned?


    She didn’t seem to be that impressive…


    He disdainfully withdrew his gaze and invited them to


    sit down.


    Uncle Olsen stared at Keira’s face and asked, “Miss. South, is it? Do you have the surname South


    because it’s your father’s name or your mother’s?”


    Keira paused briefly.


    She really didn’t know…


    The surname South was indeed rare.


    She only knew that Keera had foster parents, but she


    woan’t clear on the ananifing ot


    But there was no need for her to answer, as Howard immediately said, “Her foster father’s surname is


    South!”


    Uncle Olsen was taken aback, “Foster father?”


    Howard smiled. “Yes, yes, she was an abandoned baby. She was thrown away shortly after she was


    born and then taken in by her foster parents. Afterward, she lived near nce. Later, both her foster


    parents passed away, leaving behind a small vi and a


    Both her foster parents had died?


    Keira was also slightly surprised.


    No wonder Keera had been bullied by Howard and his


    mother for so many years without any rtives.ing to her defense! It turns out that her foster


    parents were no longer alive!


    Uncle Olsen pursed his lips, and his gaze fell back on Keira’s face. Seeing that she seemed reluctant


    to say more, he changed the topic. “You also live in nce?”


    “Yes, yes, we have a small vi near the North Sixth Ring of nce, and there’s also a smallpany


    thara


    Uncle Olsen asked, “What kind of business is it?”


    “New energy! Isn’t it hot this year? We’ve just recruited a few people and are working on this!”


    Having said that, Howard eagerly looked at Uncle Olsen, hoping that if Uncle Olsen could grant them a


    project, theirpany’s market value could increase tenfold!


    But who was Uncle Olsen?


    He had already noticed the discord between Keira and


    Howard. He simply took a couple of sips of tea and then passed the teacups to each person in front of


    him.


    After everyone finished their tea, the dishes from Fragrance Hall were served.


    Uncle Olsen invited everyone to move to the dining table to eat. Once everyone had done so, his gaze


    nonchntly swept over the teacup that Keira had just used.


    Gazing at the delicately cooked dishes, Howard


    immediately said, “Uncle Olsen, the food here is really


    delicious. We haven’t eaten such authentic Oceanion Quicina in monnal In this mada hu the hand shot


    of


    Fragrance Hall?”


    The waiter beside him immediately sighed. “Our head chef… was Mrs. Horton. It’s said that she met a


    genius chef during her internship when she was a student, who taught her everything he knew, which is


    why the food she makes is so delicious. But Mrs. Horton only cooked one meal a month, and even if


    people broke their heads trying, they couldn’t secure a spot here and had to queue… Unfortunately…”


    The waiter lowered his head.


    The previous owner of the restaurant had always been mysterious, and they had never seen them.


    It was only after the news of Mrs. Horton’s death came that the restaurant manager cried bitterly, and


    they found out.


    Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen’s mood also became heavy. He set down his fork and sighed deeply


    before looking at Keira. “How is Mrs. Olsen doing after your visit today?”


    Keira said, “Mrs. Olsen hasn’t woken up yet…”


    “She has woken up,”

    <


    Uncle Olsen interrupted her. “Mrs. Olsen sent me a message, saying she wanted to ask me for a favor.”


    Keira was stunned, “What favor?”


    Uncle Olsen shook his head. “I don’t know. I didn’t see her when I went to the hospital, andter she


    was discharged.”


    “Discharged?”


    Keira was somewhat agitated. “Mrs. Olsen is frail. Why would she be discharged all of a sudden?”


    Uncle Olsen noticed her tone, took a slight pause, and looked at her.


    Keira realized that she had lostposure and coughed. “I just think it doesn’t make sense.”


    Uncle Olsen nodded, “That’s why, if you’re avable, kid, I’d like you to visit her home for me again.”


    Keira immediately stood up. “I’m avable right now.”


    She looked directly at Howard. Before she could speak, Howard immediately waved his hand. “You go


    run the


    errand for Uncle Olsen. Go ahead! ”


    Keira nodded and left without another word.


    She could hide the news of her being alive from everyone else, but she couldn’t hide it from her


    mother!
