Lewiss footsteps came to an abrupt halt as if he were spellbound. He stared in shock at the woman before
him.
She left soon after he was born.
This was the first time that the mother and son had
ever met since then
As a child, Lewis had longed for his mother and once secretly looked at her photos. Though he no longer needed her as he grew up, his exceptional memory
hadnt let him forget her.
He recognized her at first glance.
In that moment, Lewis felt as if the world was spinning, and a nameless gloom and ferocity sudder surged into his heart. His gaze fixed on her, filled wit
resentment
But in the next instant
The woman he was staring at simply shifted her gaze indifferently and turned to go upstairs.
Her attitude made Lewis feel a stifling sensation in his
0020
324 Chapter 323
chest, even more upsetting than before.
She probably didnt care about his persistent
memories at all.
Indeed, she didnt care about her son at all.
She didnt care about his fragile body when he was born at seven months and heartlessly abandoned him at the Horton family. He almost died on the sick bed.
The violence and gloom that imbued Lewis started to fade away, leaving only a profound silence.
In this world, it seemed he was neither cherished by his father nor loved by his mother
Keira sensed the change in his emotions and was hesitating over why this was happening when Marys mother also sensed Lewiss abnormality and ste forward, blocking his line of sight.
Marys mother said, Keera, is this your friend? Wh are you staring so intensely? You cant look at peop like my sister-in-law in that way. Shes of such high standing
Sister-in-law
Keira suddenly understood something and saw the
324 Chapter 323
lonely aura covering the man before her, a wave of pity and anger rising in her heart.
She was angry that Shirley didnt even recognize her
own son
She felt sorry for how distressed Lewis must be feeling at this moment.
Without regard for Keeras public persona, she walked straight to Lewis and took his hand.
Lewis was slightly startled and turned to look at her.
Keira nodded at him.
Lewis looked away, his voice hoarse. Im fine.
His restrained demeanor was hardly that of someone who was fine.
After patting Lewiss hand, Keera turned to Mar mother. Im going to find Mary.
Marys mother nodded. Alright, Keera, youre a go friend of Marys. Please go and persuade her so she doesnt do anything rash. It would be foolish. This ch can help her marry Mr. Ellis, and her future will be bright!

Keira maintained a stern face upon hearing this and then turned to Lewis. Wait here for me.
But Lewis stubbornly followed behind her, reiterating, Im fine.
Keira had no choice but to take him upstairs.
As soon as they arrived at Marys room, they heard Shirleys cold voice come through. Mary, if you dont want to marry Ellis, then dont keep the child. You cant let a child tie down your life.
Right after she spoke, Keira heard a low snort of laughter beside her.
She couldnt help but feel a surge of pity for Lewis again.
Then she knocked on the door, not looking a ley but speaking directly to Mary. Mary, Ive com
you.
Okay.
Mary had already packed a few clothes and came straight out upon hearing the words.
Keira took her suitcase, about to carry it downstair when Lewis took the suitcase from her hands and

turned to go down.
It was then that Shirley suddenly said, Stop.
Lewis stiffened.
Shirley approached, her gaze sweeping over him once more, before settling on Keira. Thank you for taking care of Mary.
Its no trouble. Shes my good friend. Keiras voice carried a hint of hostility. I wouldnt be so heartless as to leave Mary behind.
Her words carried an unspoken implication.
Whether Shirley caught the hint or not, she merely nodded slightly.
Keira then helped Mary downstairs.
The three of them, each with their own thought the house without uttering a word.
With Shirley present, Marys parents didnt dare to make too much of a scene. Seeing that Mary was goi to move out, they didnt do much to stop her; they jus looked a bit sheepish.
Keira left with Mary, feeling relaxed, and they heade

back to the South family residence.
This small villa of the South family might only have
three floors, but it had five bedrooms.
After cleaning out one of the guest bedrooms, Mary moved straight in.
Looking at Mary, then at a downcast Lewis, Keira
found herself at a loss for whom to comfort first.
While she was still hesitating, Lewis suddenly said, Im fine.
He repeated Im fine three times, making Keira feel that she had thought too much.
She said to Mary, Mary, you should get some good rest first.
Only then did she take Lewis back to the m bedroom. After closing the door, she went st his arms, attempting to drive away his loneline her warmth.
Lewis held her, and from an angle Keira couldnt the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smil
Seeing Shirley surely made him feel sad.

But Lewis had always been someone who could control his emotions. He had been this way since childhood and was accustomed to that pain. Aside from some initial emotional turbulence, he had already calmed
down.
There were already too many pitiable people in this
house.
First, there was Amy, and now Mary had arrived.

If he didnt act a bit more pitiable himself, where
would she find the time for him?
The completely clueless Keira.
Marys sadness came swiftly and left just as quickly.
When she woke up the next day, she had most returned to normal and was even busy with wor
said to Keira. Today, the Davis family, the Olsen f and the South family signed their cooperation agreement. Theres a celebration banquet tonight th we need to attend, Miss South, is that okay with you?
Keira said, No problem.
She glanced subconsciously at Lewis, only to see hir

slowly say, Ill go too is that okay?
Mary didnt know what to say.
She couldnt help but poke Keira. Your little boyfriend here seems to be a bit too clingy.
Keira was caught between laughter and tears.
In the evening, after handing Amy over to the nanny, the three of them got dressed up and attended the celebration banquet.
Lewis didnt bring a suit and was still dressed in his casual sportswear. They pulled up to the banquet,
Keira and Mary got out of the car, and Lewis went to park.
He was treated just like a driver.
Yet he didnt look the slightest bit offended.
Keira and Mary waited at the entrance for a mom until Lewis parked the car and came over, then the three of them entered together.
The celebration banquet was attended by people from the Olsen Group, the Davis family, and Keera
Technology, so there was no requirement for evening
gowns, and both women wore business attire.

Upon entering, they needed to sign in with the staff.
Keira wrote Keeras name.
Just then, a luxury car pulled up brashly at the entrance, and two uninvited guests emerged. They were Christina and Victoria.
Dressed in fancy evening gowns, they instantly became the center of attention as soon as they stepped out of the car.
Employees of the Olsen Group who hadnt yet entered immediately surrounded them, exclaiming, Miss Christina, Miss Victoria, long time no see!
Victoria responded with a slight smile.
Mary whispered to Keira. This Victoria was prously low-profile, but now shes taken a high-rankin
position in the Olsen Group. Its amazing how fortunes can rise. I heard its because there was marriage contract between the Horton and Olsen families years ago. I bet shell eventually marry tha divorcee, Lewis.
Keira didnt know what to say.
She had just finished signing her name and stepped

aside.
Mary was still craning her neck, looking at the spectacle, when she said to Lewis, Your turn to sign.
The divorcee Lewis gave her a cold glance and then quickly signed his name at the registration.
Now it was Marys turn.
She finally averted her gaze back to the registration area, casually scanning upward.
She still didnt know the name of Keeras little boyfriend
But when she saw the signature above, she froze.
