Divorce?
Lewis’s joyful expression stiffened momentarily.
Then he quickly realized what was going on and couldn’t help butugh at the absurdity of the
situation.
Keira didn’te back to him because of that?
His eyes had tears in them, yet he startedughing
again.
Stepping forward, he took Keira’s hand with his right hand and led it to touch his left hand.
Keira frowned and thought this man was shameles
She had already said they were getting a divorce, and yet he dared to seduce her?

Just as she was about to pull her hand back, she suddenly touched something cool; she looked down
and was stunned.
Wasn’t this the ring she had sent to that young man?
The ring was made of jade, its emerald color clearly

indicating it was expensive. How did it end up in Lewis’s possession?
Furrowing her brows, she heard Lewis begin to speak slowly.
“When I was a child, I was kidnapped. A four-year-old little girl helped me by feeding the traffickers
sleeping pills. She saved me but had to go home to suffer. Crying, she hugged me and asked me to
marry her…”
Upon hearing this, Keira was shocked and looked at
him.
Lewis gave a bitter smile. “After I returned home, I searched for her, but the little girl didn’t have a name
back then. When I found Madeleine, she remem everything from our childhood clearly and im was
her. I asked her for the ring as a token. She t me she lost it. She was abused by her parents, suff from
mental illness, and had been waiting for me to
save her…”
Looking earnestly at Keira, Lewis continued. “Later, when I received this ring, I realized I had been
blind for years and talking to the wrong person. I never found that little girl. All these years, she’s been

suffering…”
Keira’s eyes were filled with tears, and her throat felt choked up.
Looking at Lewis, she suddenly didn’t know whether to cry or tough.
After a long while, she calmed herself down. “When did you receive the ring?”
Lewis looked at her, “On the day of your ident.”
Keira looked down. “And yet you still asked me to meet for a divorce! Saying ‘Don’t miss the 2 o’clock
appointment.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis quickly stepped forwar embraced her tightly. “Keira, do you know how n regret
it?! I just wanted to surprise you, to tell you truth at the courthouse, to tell you I’ll marry no on
but you in this life, to tell you that you are my lifesav But I never imagined that you would be in an

ident… Carrying the news that we were to divorce, you had an ident…”
Since Keira’s ident, he had refused to believe that the victim was her. He couldn’t ept that reality,
partly because of this.

He had wanted to give her a surprise but never thought it would leave her departing in pain and
regret.
The mere thought of that moment on the boat, when she was suffocating, and she thought he still
wanted to divorce her, made his heart ache so much he couldn’t
breathe!
Until today, until this moment, until now!

He was still filled with remorse and regret, questioning why he hadn’t just exined everything over
phone, why he had toe up with such a messy
surprise…
Keira felt the slight tremble of his body and sudde understood his intention.
She extended her arms and hugged him.
The response was an intense, shaking kiss…
The clothes she had just put on slid off once again…
Both were not good with words, so they could only act, expressing their joy and passion at recognizing
each other…
Time and again…

Lewis wished he could meld Keira into his body, wish they could be one and never be apart
again…
The night grew deeper.
The white sheer curtains were blown by the wind,
swaying, and making the scene inside appear intermittently.
Even the moon in the sky seemed bashful, hiding behind the clouds, yet it couldn’t help peeking
through
a slit…
A night of fiery passion…
A night of unrestrained indulgence…
Lewis released his repressed longing time and
again…
As a result, when Keira woke up the next day, it already ten in the morning.
She was startled, quickly nced at the man lying n to her, then immediately jumped out of bed, flung
open the bedroom door, and dashed out, only to see Mary yfully texting on the living room couch
downstairs.
The maid was monning the floor.
Ceira eximed, “Where’s Amy?”
Mary grinned teasingly at her and said, “Knew you u wouldn’t be getting up today, so I sent her off to
the he arly learning center!”
eira was perplexed.
s she was puzzling over this, Mary had already heekily leaned in and bluntly said, “Keera, good for ou! I
was wondering why you finally agreed to divorce hat scumbag Howard, turns out you’ve got a new
lame! Last night was pretty intense…”
eira’s cheeks immediately turned a burning red.

constrained, to have such a variety of…. moves. As sh eaned against the door, she couldn’t hold back

Keira hastily put a stop to the R-rated scenes in her ?rain, trying hard to forget the details ofst night.
She coughed and said, “Well, I…”
But Mary cut her off, speaking very seriously. “Keira,

there’s no need to say anything, I understand. It was Howard who cheated first, so you finding a gigolo
is nothing to me.”
After that, she added, “But in the future, you should still temper it down. We have a long way to go! You
don’t want to exhaust him so soon, do you?”
“Pffft!”
Keira was drinking water and when she heard thest sentence, she sprayed it out.
Mary dodged away in disgust, then her phone started to vibrate intensely again.
Keira drank some water and walked to the kitchen get a sandwich the maid had prepared. As she ate
heard Mary click her tongue twice. “Keera, nce changing!”
Keira was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“Today, news came from the Horton family in Oceanion that they were going to make their presence
known in nce! Turns out they’ve been nning this for a month in nce. They’re the wealthiest in
Oceanion, no less influential than the five major families of nce. Their arrival might just change the

Lewis’s move to nce was something he told her aboutst night.
He wasn’t leaving.
Keira didn’t show much reaction and just listened as Mary continued. “I heard that the family head of
the Horton family, Lewis, isn’t even thirty yet, and now he’s stepping up topete on par with the
heads of the fiye families. That’s impressive… Though it probably has nothing to do with me.”
After saying that, the door to the master bedroom suddenly opened.
Lewis was particrly fastidious and a neat frea he wouldn’t wear yesterday’s clothes, so Keira co only
find an unworn set of lounge wear that belon to Howard for him.
Lewis was now wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and the cotton trousers were a bit short. The man
who usually had a strong and steady presence now looked like a college student.
Upon seeing his face, Mary’s eyes lit up, and she
sneakily nudged Keira, whispering “Keera vou’ve got

good taste. Which school is he from? This gigolo is a whole lot better than that scum Howard!”
Keira was speechless.
She, too, ogled Lewis along with Mary.
The man always used to dress sharply in suits, which overshadowed his handsome face, but now, with
his hair in disarray, that face was truly stunning.
Without a word from her, the yful Mary approached him and said, “Young man, you know how to
take good care of my sister, right? Do it well, and you might just get to marry into wealth – you could
end up on the list of rich wives.”
Lewis stiffened.
Mary then asked, “By the way, what’s your nam
