My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

706  Chapter 705

When Lewis heard those words, his face darkened.

Keira let out a small laugh. Oh, so this is how they were going to treat her?

Old Mrs. Horton frowned and snapped, " I was wondering why you were acting so kind, and now I see. Selena, let me tell you something: a bastard child will always be a bastard child. Don't think you can just take over what's not yours. I may not be Jake's biggest fan, but at least he's my legitimate great-grandson. And you? I haven't even acknowledged you!"

Selena's face went pale with anger.

Old Mrs. Horton waved a hand. "I'm tired. You can leave."

Selena took a deep breath, clearly wanting to say something, but before she could, Keira stepped forward with a cold smile. "Are you walking out on your own, or do I need to throw you out?"

Selena stood up straight and glared at Keira. "I'll go on my own."

She shot Keira a nasty look as she stormed out. When she passed by Lewis, she couldn't help but say, "Uncle Lewis, Eve didn't marry Jake. She's still in love with you. Maybe you should think about that…"

"Get out."

Lewis said the words so coldly that Selena actually flinched before rushing out of the house.

Old Mrs. Horton overheard the exchange and turned, smiling when she saw Lewis and Keira. "Oh, you two are back."

"Yeah," Lewis replied.

Keira walked over and handed old Mrs. Horton an apple.

Old Mrs. Horton looked at it but then pointed to the watermelon on the table. "I'd rather have some of that."

Keira chuckled softly.

At this point, old Mrs. Horton could eat whatever she wanted. The doctors had already said there was no point in restricting her diet anymore, so Keira didn't bother arguing. She fed her a piece of watermelon instead.

Old Mrs. Horton smiled after taking a bite. "It's always sweeter when you feed me! That Selena, though—ugh, she makes me sick! Trying to stir up trouble like that. Doesn't she know who she's messing with?"

She took Keira's hand and motioned for Lewis to come closer.

Lewis stepped forward. "Grandma?"

Old Mrs. Horton looked at him seriously. "You two must take care of each other, okay?"

Lewis nodded.

Old Mrs. Horton added, "Even when I'm gone, don't be sad, you hear me?"

Lewis's face fell. "Grandma, don't talk like that."

Old Mrs. Horton just smiled. "It's going to happen eventually, honey. But with Keira by your side, I can rest easy."

She patted his hand before turning to Keira. "Keira, my grandson's had a rough life. He's a little... difficult sometimes, but I hope you can be patient with him."

Keira smiled and nodded. "Grandma, that's not fair. My husband is amazing."

She glanced over at Lewis as she spoke.

Sure enough, the heaviness in Lewis's expression softened, and he gave her a gentle, loving look.

Old Mrs. Horton saw their exchange and couldn't help but grin. She cleared her throat. "You two haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's go eat something."

Keira joked, "Grandma, I didn't cook today, so it might not taste as good!"

Old Mrs. Horton laughed. "You've spoiled me! My taste buds are used to your cooking now."

"I'll make you something special tonight!"

After a cheerful meal, old Mrs. Horton went to take a nap.

Keira and Lewis were about to take care of some things when Oliver came storming in, his face red with anger. The moment he saw Lewis, he opened his mouth to speak, but Lewis cut him off. "If you've got something to say, let's talk outside."

Oliver glanced at old Mrs. Horton's room, then turned and walked out.

Keira followed behind them, sensing something was off.

The second they stepped outside, Oliver exploded. "Was it you? Did you tell Grandma to kick Selena out? Don't forget, she's not just your grandma, she's mine too!"

Lewis just stared at him. "And?"

"And starting tomorrow, Selena and Marisa are going to be checking in on Grandma morning and night."

Lewis's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing.

Back when Jake and Melissa were still around, at least Melissa had some dignity and stopped visiting after Grandma snubbed her a few times. But Marisa and Selena? They had no shame, and apparently, they could take any kind of rejection.

No wonder Oliver was completely under their control.

Lewis looked down. "Grandma likes her peace and quiet."

"That's just an excuse!" Oliver sneered. "If she likes quiet so much, why does she let you and Keira in to bother her?"

He paused, noticing Erin standing nearby, clearly eavesdropping. His face turned red with anger. "And why's there some random outsider living here?"

Erin blinked innocently and didn't look guilty at all. Instead, she grinned, cracked open a pistachio, and waved at Oliver. "I like it here. So what?"

Oliver's face went even redder.

He turned back to Lewis, his voice rising. "You may run this house, but that doesn't mean you get to treat me like this! I'm telling you, if you don't agree to let my people see Grandma, I'll make a scene!"

He stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Grandma's not just yours. If you don't let my people in, I'll start yelling right here and now. You think Grandma will be able to rest with all that noise?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lewis's face hardened.

Oliver smirked, turning back toward the house. "So, you're not going to agree? Fine. I'll go wake Grandma up right now and ask her if she ever really wanted me as her grandson!"
