304 A Hug
Keira gazed at his face greedily.
This past month, she had actually felt very lonely and missed him terribly.
But she knew she shouldnt disturb him and Madeleine.
Letting him think she was dead was actually the best
choice.
Therefore, even though she knew what he meant, she still said, Mr. Horton, what are you doing here?
Lewis set Amy down, handing her over to his assistant.
Tom wasnt by his side, as he had been busy in Oceanion handling affairs for the Horton Group, and his absence, only Tom could keep the first branch of the family, people like Oliver, in check.
The assistant took Amy and went over to play with her.
Lewis then walked toward Keira. He had lost a lot of weight, looking especially haggard. With each step he took closer, Keiras heartbeat accelerated.

Keira silently stepped back.
She didnt know how many steps she had taken when she suddenly bumped into the living room couch behind her. There was nowhere left to retreat, and she could just watch as Lewis approached her.
The man was a head taller than her, and at such a close distance, she could see the hollows of his cheeks.
He still carried the pleasant scent of vanilla, the smell of his usual body wash
Keira tensed her jaw, silent.
Lewis, however, moved closer and said slowly, Before, you kept wanting to divorce in place of Keera, so I didnt bother you, but today youre divorced. Keira you come home now?
Keiras pupils shrank.
Had he recognized her already?
Was it that night?
On reflection, he had clearly chased after her the next day, yet she hadnt acknowledged him, and afterward, Lewis indeed hadnt pestered her further and just left.

Did he see through her alternate arrangements?
Keira pondered for a long time
No
She had never given herself away, and besides, Keeras
existence was real. Lewis couldnt possibly have recognized her.
With this thought, Keira once again assumed Keeras fragile demeanor, the past month of pretending having made her well-practiced at acting weak.
She said, Mr Mr. Horton, I dont understand what
you mean
After her words, there was a long silence, and she didnt notice any change in the expression of the ma
before her.
Keira slowly raised her head, wanting to see his reaction, but saw him just looking at her, smiling.
His smile was so tender, so indulgent, like he was humoring a child throwing a tantrum, which complicated Keiras emotions for a moment.
There was even an urge to rush into his arms, to tell him she was Keira, to ask for his help rescuing her

mother and to clarify everything that was happening
To let him bear the responsibility she carried
But this thought was fleeting.
She persisted in acting like Keera, unwilling to acknowledge her true identity.
After a while, she heard him sigh. Keira, Ive thoroughly investigated you and Keera over this past month Keera seems weak, but shes actually strong inside, truly not like you. She also wanted the divorce. all along, and nothing about your behavior this month was suspicious. But do you know what the biggest difference between you two is?
Keira really wanted to know!
But she couldnt say.
She kept her head down, still silent.
Lewis didnt need her to say anything and said in a lo voice, Theres one major physical difference between the two of you, and that is
Suddenly, he lifted her chin, his rough hand reaching for the corner of her eye.

Lewis looked at her seriously. Keira, I wont say that your eyes look different and feel different because I dont know Keera well. But you have a mole at the corner of your eye, and Keera doesnt have one. Thats the biggest difference between you.
With that, he rubbed at the corner of Keiras eye.
He was trying to rub off the foundation to reveal the teardrop mole underneath
But as his fingers moved, he froze suddenly.
The skin there was smooth as ever, with no trace of a
mole!
Lewiss expression instantly became frantic.
He lost his earlier composure, his hand rubbing forcefully at Keiras eye corner again
But still, there was nothing!
Lewiss pupils constricted, and he looked at her in disbelief. How could there be nothing?
Keira stood quietly.
Of course, she knew the biggest difference between herself and Keera, even going so far as to use a special

solution to hide the mole to prevent being discovered by the South family who kidnapped her mother.
She bit her lips, weak and aggrieved. She said, Mr. Horton, youre hurting me
Lewis paused, and then he suddenly extended his arms and pulled Keira forcefully into his embrace. Keira, I know its you. Dont scare me, okay? This past month, Ive been waiting for you; I cant bear to lose you again
His words made Keiras eyes well up.
She sighed silently, clenching her fists.
It turned out that in the last month, Lewis hadnt been recovering from his injuries, but lying in wait.
He might not even have been sure she was Keira, b he clung to that belief, enduring until today. If she refused to acknowledge it now, indeed, it would be stabbing him in the heart a second time.
So, should she acknowledge the truth?
Her inner conflict was intense as if her thoughts had become two entities wrestling inside her mind!
But just when she hadnt decided, her body reacted.
