Keira and Lewis were seated in the reception room, surveying their surroundings. “I didn’t expect


    Reba’s home to have such décor. It’s quite cozy.


    Lewis frowned, looking displeased. “Don’t you feel even a hint of danger?”


    Keira, puzzled, looked at him, “What danger?”


    Lewis coughed, then lowered his voice.” Reba covets a friend’s husband so openly. You should


    keep your distance.”


    Keira didn’t know what to say.


    She smiled faintly. “There must be some misunderstanding”


    Lewis sighed and said nothing.


    Over the years, whether during school or after returning to the country, many women had thrown


    themselves at him relentlessly, otherwise he wouldn’t have mistaken Keira, who came to him with a


    printout of the marriage certificate, as trying to hit on him.


    But he could never have imagined that the obedient girl who always listened to Keira, filled with


    admiration in her eyes, would also take a fancy to him.


    If Reba were only Frankie’s sister, he certainly wouldn’t be amicable.


    But since Reba was also Keira’s friend and bestie, with whom she had a good rtionship in


    Oceanion, he couldn’t be too harsh.


    After all, a bestie’s pillow talk could be deadly!


    Lewis coughed, and then messed up his neatly arranged hair a bit, and adjusted his sports jacket.


    Seeing him like this, Keira asked, “What are you doing?”


    “Making myself look uglier.”


    Keira twitched the corner of her mouth, grabbing his hand. “Stop messing around. No matter what you


    do, you can’t hide your handsome features.”


    At her words, Lewis indeed stopped his actions, but his ears gradually turned red.


    Keira noticed he blushed easily, so she deliberately stared at him.

    Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he cleared his throat to remind her. “Hold back a bit. Wait until we’re


    home tonight.


    Keiraughed.


    At that moment, there were sounds from the doorway, and then Frankie walked in with Reba.


    Frankie had lost some weight since their first meeting. As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Keira’s


    face, a shadow flickering in his eyes.


    Lewis immediately stepped forward, blocking his


    gaze.


    Frankie looked at Lewis with a frown.


    Keira didn’t notice the subtle actions between the two men, instead, she turned to look at Reba,


    only to see Reba lifting her chin slightly,cking the gentleness and timidity she had shown in


    Oceanion, her manner now carrying a hint of haughtiness.


    As soon as she entered, she stared tantly at Keira, her eyes filled with hostility.


    What was going on…?


    While Keira was contemting, Reba approached her and extended her hand. “Hello, I’m


    Reba.”


    As Keira reached out her hand, about to touch hers, Reba withdrew her hand, feigning nonchnce


    as she touched her hair, then stared at Keira, “Keera, right? You really resemble a friend of mine.”


    Keira didn’t know what to say.


    Reba continued to stare at her. “Do you want to know who my friend is? Oddly enough, it’s Mr.


    Horton’s deceased wife… Did you know about this?”


    Confused, Keira nodded.


    Seeing this, Reba immediately furrowed her brows, her voice bing somewhat shrill, “You


    knew?”


    Keira nodded again.


    Reba immediately clenched her fists, then let out a scoff. “You’re happy to be someone’s


    recement?”


    This time, Keira sensed something was wrong, and before she could speak, Lewis stepped in front of


    her, giving Reba a warning look. “Miss Allen, please mind your manners.”


    “Are you defending her already?”


    Reba’s attitude was harsh. She stepped forward, staring intently at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, since you’re


    here, it’s time I made some things clear.”


    Her eyes were bright as she spoke. “Actually, I fancied you when I met Miss Keira. I just restrained


    myself because of her presence. Now that she’s gone, how about our families join in marriage?”


    Lewis was perplexed.


    His expression turned dark as he stared at Reba. He then looked back at Keira with a look that


    said, “See, this is your good friend!”


    Keira hadn’t expected Reba to say such a thing and immediately said, “Miss Allen, you can’t talk


    nonsense like that.


    But Reba looked straight at her. “I’m not talking nonsense. I want him. If you want to cooperate with


    our family, give him to me, or forget the cooperation!”


    With that, she walked out.


    Reba could leave, but Frankie didn’t want to fall out with Lewis. Their families still had to work


    together, so he stayed, looking helplessly at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, you heard what my sister said, right?


    Lewis suppressed the anger and stared at him. “Do you always indulge her like this?”


    Frankie shrugged. “There’s no helping it. She’s the only daughter of my parents, and she’s my only


    sister who has gone through such an ordeal. From now on, she can only be coddled.”


    Lewis didn’t know what to say.


    He looked helplessly at Keira.


    But Keira stepped forward and addressed Frankie. “Mr. Allen, if the cooperation between our families is


    so frivolous, then let’s call it off. However, Miss Allen doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe you should take


    her to a psychiatrist?”


    Frankle was startled.


    Ever since Reba was brought home, she had be increasingly paranoid.


    Her demands were now even more outrageous.


    The family had thought it was due to experiencing a failed marriage and Keira’s death, so they hadn’t


    thought much about it.


    But Keira had spotted the problem at a nce.


    Was Reba having mental issues?


    Frankie pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Thank you for the reminder, Miss South. I’ll take her to


    see a doctor.”


    Keira turned and left with Lewis.


    Frankie watched them leave and noticed that Lewis, when with Keera, still walked half a step behind


    her, just as he did in Oceanion when with Keira.


    That was something that had shocked Frankie before.


    It


    t clearly showed how much Lewis valued Keira.


    And now, he was doing the same with Keera.


    Recalling the tone and manner in which Keera had just spoken to him… It was very simr to Keira’s.


    quite unlike the submissive Keera they had investigated.


    This made him start to doubt again, could it be…


    A suspicion suddenly took root in Frankie’s heart, and he found it hard to believe his own spection,


    so he followed them out.


    Just as he stepped outside, he saw Keera and Lewis walking toward the parking lot, about to get into a


    car when Frankie hurriedly took a few steps forward and called out, “Miss Olsen!”


    Keira subconsciously halted a little.
